iPhone 4S Photography (iphoneography) edited using Instagram | Gavin Conlan UK Wedding & Portrait Photographer based in Essex | www.gavinconlan.com

Since upgrading my iphone to the 4S I've been amazed by it's camera, previously using the iphone 3G for years I couldn't believe the difference in the quality of the camera.  I've seen people on facebook and twitter posting images using the instagram iphone app and up until now I haven't gotten involved - but today was the turning point.  

I absolutely loved the results it produced and now I'm REALLY hooked, it's brought a whole new vibe to my fun day to day photography I really can't wait to explore it's possibilities....

I am now planning on shooting some location portraits, using just my iphone to shoot and edit on this will really push me creatively especially with the use of light.

In the meantime here is the instagram edited iphoneography images I took today, I hope you enjoy .....

Portrait Photography at Avalon Shoreditch, London | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding & Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com | www.londonspeedlitescene.co.uk

This was my second meet up with the awesome LSS (London Speedlite Scene) group this time at the trendy Avalon bar in Shoreditch, London.  The meet up was massive loads of photographers/models/make up artists all in one place it was really hard not to get carried away with it all.  

I really had to limit myself with what I wanted to shoot otherwise I'd of had months of processing work to do afterwards, but there were so many models I didn't get the opportunity to work with but hopefully that chance will come on future meet ups.... 

All the models were again provided by Elect Model Management and MUA's by Intense Make-up Artists both agencies were formed out of London Speedlite Scene

Romantic Portraiture in Venice, Italy | Gavin Conlan UK Wedding & Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com

Venice is an amazing place quite possibly my most favourite place in the world it's a photographers dream.  I've been lucky enough to spend quite a lot of time here in the past and have built up a large image library although I still need to see the place in the snow and when it's underwater.  

I am currently in the process of updating all the imagery on my website (finally!) and as I was sifting through my photographs it made me think about re-editing some of my favourite images taken over the last few years. What started as a cool idea has led to hours of work (i'm not complaining one bit) to take some of my favourites and give them a total make over, using some of my new and current styles of post production techniques it has breathed new life into them.  

I hope you enjoy these pictures; once I'm finally up-to-date with my work I am going to start posting before and after images to show you how my techniques have evolved over the years.
