Arsenal are having a strong season so it was a pleasure to recently shoot Freddie Ljunberg who was optimistic about the clubs future. Ljungberg spent the majority of his playing career at the North London club before moving into coaching including a spell back at his old club. As a sports portrait photographer I used some gentle colour washes to capture this image of Freddie - shot in a studio near his North London home.
Shallow
I was in the studio recently just adding some image to the portfolio. I had an oldish image (the man in glasses) and wanted to create a slightly wider set around that style. Shooting ultra shallow at f1.2 and using continuous lighting to get a very specific look and feel. As a portrait photographer its vital to always find some time to play and experiment - you don’t get much time to do that on commissioned shoots.
Caius Joseph
A few test image from a little play around in the studio and the estates of Peckham – a few weeks back – with Caius Joseph from W Models. As a advertising photographer its always good to have a play around without a client brief.
