Photographing Rare Art in Kent

My professional photography website: Taylor Young Photography

Yesterday I had a very exciting photo shoot in Kent.  My job was to photograph some very old and very expensive mini-paintings for an auction house.  Normally the closest I get to these artifacts is a museum, but I was actually able to handle and admire these paintings.  And how lovely they were.  I photographed them using only natural light and although the convex glass proved difficult, the shoot turned out very well and my client was happy.  I am told there may be many more like this to photograph in the future and I welcome them all.  I am photographing history.

13th Birthday Party in Guildford-Green Screen, Justin Bieber, 60 Girls

My professional photography website: Taylor Young Photography

This weekend I had a monumental assignment.  I was hired to photograph a birthday party for a 13 year old and her 60 girlfriends.  Sounds easy.  But, I was also to take photos of these 60 girls, each one, superimposed onto a background of Justin Bieber.  That’s not very hard.  True.  I haven’t told you the best part yet, I was then to print their photos right then and there.  Anyone with any Photoshop skills will know that taking a photo on a green screen and getting rid of the background is not the hardest thing in the world, but it’s not the easiest either.  And when your subjects all have wispy blond hair, it can be a nightmare.  As it was, the job turned out brilliantly and the organizers were very pleased.  And so were the girls.  Each one walked away with an A4 print of them with their favorite pop star.

Below is the setup I used and one of the organizers with Bieber.  Oh… the life of a photographer.  It’s never dull.  :)
