Sunday, April 13, 2014 at 9:50AM Earlier this summer I photographed a little 10 minute fashion shoot using nothing but an iPhone and the sun as my main light source and they were edited using the VSCOcam iPhone app.
I loved the challenge of this shoot and i cannot wait to experiment more with the iPhone on similar shoots.
All the best, Gavin
Friday, May 25, 2012 at 10:53AM Photography can be a lonely career at times, shooting alone, editing alone, working all hours of the day making sure your business runs smoothly while posting new imagery to your website, blog and social media sites. At times you just need to stop everything and surround yourself with fellow professionals, it's the perfect way to talk through any issues you may have or worries and to recharge those creative juices.
The London Speedlite Scene is just that for me it's a fantastic group of Photographers/Make Up Artists/Models all networking and working together I feel seriously blessed to have found this group and be apart of it - it's full of fantastic and extremely talented people who work the arses off to achieve fantastic imagery.
Glamour vs. Fashion was my 4th meet up with the LSS crew and it was another awesome shoot - this time we had free run of a Mansion House in Hampstead. Seriously the efforts of the Make Up Artists can't be stressed enough on these shoots, the works of art they produce are mind blowing and really do make our jobs as photographers a hell of a lot easier.
All the models were provided by Elect Model Management and MUA's by Intense Make-up Artists both agencies were formed out of London Speedlite Scene - you should check out the links below.

Also check out the fantastic video from the meet up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7E9YE6OOk0 this will give you a teaser into the world of a LSS meet up.
I use these shoots as personal challenges, to limit my lens choice and to try and produce images that are different - to work with the environment and showcase it in a different way while still shooting images that fit in with my current style.
As with my previous LSS meet ups I shoot every image with a mixture of natural available light and my daylight balanced video lights.
I hope you enjoy these images, you can view more by visiting my facebook photography page http://www.facebook.com/gavinconlanphotography - if you like the work I produce then please click on that like button to make my day.

Friday, April 13, 2012 at 11:59PM Finally after waiting almost 2 years since I shot this boudoir session I have finally decided to let it loose on the world.
I loved this shoot so much it was my first ever boudoir session and I'm an absolutely passionate about these images - that's why without doubt it's my biggest blog post so far with over 100 images on display below.
I've decided to display the photographs in a way to give them more of an album feel hopefully this will add to the impact for the viewer - all these images were shot on location in an amazing boutique hotel in London.
The amazing decor really added to the impact of the shots and we couldn't resist shooting in every part of the room - we had a great time. I believe the images are the perfect example to show you how to create beautiful imagery in small places as long as you think outside the box anything is truly possible.
At first I was a little concerned that the editing of these images wouldn't reflect my current style of post production but you know what I don't wanna change a thing, the shoot was a major turning point for me definitely one of the highlights of my photographic journey so far.
I really hope you love these shots as much as I do - now just sit back and enjoy viewing them.
