Gareth Owen is an Osteopath who grew up in the Rutland town of Oakham and recently returned there to set up his business in a new studio off Church Street.
He got in touch with me with a simple brief: he needed some clean and simple imagery of his new studio space for use on social media, on his website and in printed marketing materials.
The studio space was simple and airy but natural light was limited to one side of the room, so my challenge was to even up that light on the other side without it looking unnatural.
To this end I used Godox AD360II wireless flashes to bounce artificial light off the white walls in to the darker side of the studio, resulting in a nice even light.
I am a huge fan of these great little lights for a number of reasons. Whilst not as small as speedlights they are very compact and portable nonetheless, and with a guide number of 80 they have plenty of power for nearly all my needs. They sync up to 1/8000s which is very useful for outdoor use as a fill light against a strong sun. When not used with their own radio trigger they can be used as a slave and fired by other flashes. They also have a wide range of modifiers to suit most situations and I have been known to use accessories intended for other systems in a Heath Robinson manner too!
I am an equine photographer, website designer and hosting provider living in Lincolnshire.
I work with clients who are sole traders and others which are FTSE companies. They are equally important to me.
If you need commercial photography, editorial photography, event photography, lifestyle, equestrian or wedding photography, then I can help you, with over 30 years experience in these areas.
I also teach photography. I mentor photographers with a range of experience, from beginners to working professionals and run an equine photography course which gives members access to articles about the business of equestrian photography.
I have a varied set of skills, having worked for well known web design, SEO and analytics companies in parallel to my photography.
I design, host and maintain websites for clients as varied as farms, interior designers and equestrian centres, as well as for bloggers and sportspeople, including many riders.
I am the Public Relations Officer for the Midlands Area Point-to-Point Association, a role which utilises my PR and social media skills to promote horse racing both online and in the National press.
