News

Now offering wedding images on the personalised Apple iPad rather than more traditional wedding album as an option to those more into technology or simpler method of viewing their images. Probably easier to share with friends and family, weighs a lot less and of course takes up a lot less room. You can always use it as intended while still keeping your wedding images on tap to show off when you can. Take into into your work place and share with all your colleagues - after you have added your honeymoon pictures of course. Of course as you add images it becomes your personal storybook and life cycle. See the wedding page for more details. The more traditional album is still available of course but it is good to have more choice I think.

Glasgow Teenage makeover star in the making? 12 year old Natasha really looks like a star for the future and one to watch as she attempts to become an agency represented model here in Glasgow. Great attitude and works hard to achieve a dream of a modelling career. She very well could be the next big thing in the modelling world. Watch this space as we wish her all the best for the future. Tags: Teenage makeovers in Glasgow from George - Glasgow Photographer

Teenage Makeovers: Glasgows Natasha

Debbie Shaw - Model

Another real change in the weather this time for the worse saw me trying for some model images with the lovely Debbie Shaw in Glasgow city centre. Real wild night with a lot of wind limited what could be achieved with limited equipment but at least the rain stayed off, for the most part. This is Debbie as you have never seen her before as she heads into the dark side to meet Glasgow Nights. No longer the blonde bombshell but now a fabulous brunette, at least for the evening. What do you think of her new look? I loved it after the initial shock of seeing her without the trademark blonde locks. Still a real stunner no matter what the hair colour. Debbie models with the Erin Gavin Model Agency and of course the News of the World Score Angels..

Debbie-Shaw-Glasgow-nights

With the weather being so good and unusually having such a lot of sunshine I thought it would be great to get out and about this week and have a model outdoor portfolio shoot. Luckily the lovely Debbie Shaw had some spare time from her modelling to head down to Loch Lomond for the afternoon. Click the picture to see some of the shots from the session. Some excellent use of the area we used for a variety of shots and looks and all done in less than two hours. Used the Elinchrom Ranger Quadra lights as the fill to lessen the shadows. Great to get to use them outdoors on a sunny day. Hopefully Debbie and I will get to shoot some fashion in the city very soon. Watch this space - if the good weather holds then sooner rather than later. I look forward to that.

One Devonshire Gardens or Hotel Du Vin as it is also known as wedding photographs on a typical wet and fairly miserable day in Glasgow. Wedding images from day can be seen by clicking the link below. One Devonshire Gardens is of course a great wedding venue and hopefully I will get to work in there when the weather is not chucking it down with rain - just for a change!  Enjoy the images for Hotel Du Vin. WEdding Photographer Glasgow | George.

Getting back to Black

Simple but very effective in the use of light. Back to black with just dark clothing against a dark background. Contact me for more information or a portrait session using this very style that has impact and quality built in. Timeless but so effective. Girls you will love this too!

Family portrait photographer sessions

Family portrait sessions is not something I get a lot to do these days but they are great fun as well as a great challenge to photograph. Just a shot from each of the two sessions I did recently. Hopefully more will follow now that the better weather is with us - well even for a little time. Baby portrait sessions also undertaken.

The DaMarcus Collection

The Collection went live with the launch on Wednesday Night 25th November 2009. Links below are now also live to images taken at the pre launch shoot and I hope there is some in there that you like.

Rangers footballers DaMarcus Beasley ably assisted by his friend and colleague Maurice Edu with the fabulous model Zoi modelling, went along to city centre Club 29 for a pre launch shoot organised by Glasgow Argyll Arcade jewellers The Diamond Studiorun by Summera Shaheen. Pictures from the shoot can now be seen on The Diamond Studio web site and accessed from the link above.

 DaMarcus is just about to launch his new jewellery collection aptly titled The DaMarcus Collection and yours truly was commissioned to record the event and to get some images for the web site prior to the launch night on Wednesday.

 You are able to buy the range online now. Link to The Diamond Studio is active above. Just a couple of images posted below as I do not want to spoil the launch pictures by publishing them here before the big night. Some killer images are in there. Both guys were and absolute pleasure to work with and hopefully we had some fun getting the images. Must also thank Zoi Modelling for giving us the female look in the pictures. A few of her pictures can be seen on my Facebook.

Looking forward the the Celtic FC Launch some time real soon.
