The Quinn Family Portrait

Despite being manic at the moment i managed (well, helped the wife & kids) to put our tree up this week. This year we have a black tree with bright white LED Xmas lights on it and credit to the wife it’s looking really nice. Anyway, enough about Xmas or people will think i’m actually enjoying it this year :) . Yesterday I photographed the Quinn Family who visited me from Exmouth getting some really lovely shots of the 3 of them. Such a lovely family and i have a feeling one little girl is going to get spoiled this Xmas :)

I’m now a Master Photographer – WooHoo!

I recently submitted a panel of 20 wedding photos to the prestigious Master Photographers Association (MPA) which were then assessed by a panel of judges from the Professional Photographic Qualifying Board (PPQB). The PPQB is a joint initiative between the MPA and BIPP. 10 had to be from the same wedding whilst the remaining 10 can come from a selection of weddings. They asses everything from the composition of the photograph through to the control of my lighting and even down to the quality of the photo print itself.
Well I’m pleased to say that I passed and have been accepted into the Association as a Master Photographer and I believe am one of their youngest qualified members in the South West! Hey, I even now have letters after my name – Adrian Downing LMPA. :) A big thanks must also go out to all of my brides of 2008 who helped to make this happen.

Pendennis Castle in Falmouth

Popped down to Cornwall this weekend to visit both my parents in Helston as well as Richard & Hannah at Pendennis Castle where I’ll be photographing their wedding in 12 days time :) . After walking around the venue today i’m getting quite excited myself as it’s somewhere i’ve wanted to photograph for a while. The weather was awesome today with near perfect light, fingers crossed it’ll be the same on their day. As it was so nice i thought it would be rude not to take a couple of photos while i was there :)
