Baby Katherine

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting (then) two-week old Katherine and her proud parents, at home in the Notting Hill/Holland Park area. The weather was a little inclement to take a newborn outside, but window-light and some lovely shutters provided a simple-is-best home studio.

Bristol wedding

A few weeks ago I covered the wedding of Penny and Sam in Bristol, the venue was the wonderful Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s SS Great Britain. It was a stormy day, but that made for wonderful dramatic skies and we seemed to be lucky that breaks in the rain generally coincided with our outdoor photo sessions. Penny is a very creative soul and embroidered the bag included below (as well as being a super-knitter). I loved the Celtic designs (they went to Ireland for their honeymoon by the way).

Penny - Thanks again Charlie, amazing job as ever! Can’t wait to see the albums. :)

More Twins!

I seem to have a lot of twins as clients! Mostly kids of course, plus some adults. In fact, this is the second family I’ve photographed (that I can think of just now) that have boy/girl twins of ~toddler+ age and an older but pre-school sister. Eg. this shoot last year. I love how twins often mirror each other in their movements…

Anyway, we had a lovely time on Wandsworth Common. I tend to favour black/white in a lot of my photography, but decided to go colour for a lot of these – and I am looking forward to the colours of autumn!

Christmas is looming! I know, I dislike the commercialism that seems to get earlier every year, but if you are considering getting portraits done as Christmas gifts, then book soon, as you want it done by October/November at the latest (did I mention autumn colours?!) to allow time for products to be crafted and dispatched to you, then to family…

PhotoCharlie App

photography tips,smartphone app,iPhone app,Android app
A very quick post this afternoon. Off to a wedding on an historic ship tomorrow (stay tuned for the blog post in a few weeks).

I will post a family portrait experience early next week, but right now I’d like to announce:

My photo App is now available on Android. It’s FREE btw.

Here’s the iPhone version for those who don’t already have it.

I have also added a new gallery to the App, with most of my ‘Looking Up’ photos so far.

Thanks for looking!

Charlie Round-Turner - Hi! I have Canon so not as familiar with Nikon. Is there a D7? If it’s D700 full-frame sensor, then 24-70/F2.8 and 70-200/F2.8 are the most popular quality lenses that give wide-angle to zoom coverage, or 24-120/F4 VR. If a cropped sensor like D7000, then 17-55/F2.8 and perhaps the 70-200 again. Thanks for looking! :-)

Wissam - I love your art, You are simply,,,, My GURU in photography.

I have 1 question:” What are the recommended leses to use for a full wedding photography session”?

I have a Nikon D7.

Thank you
