Its been a busy few weeks for me and have met some really nice families along the way! So I’m finally getting to post the pics! So heres Arthur and Family! A very cool little dude with and equally cool family! There were a few tear and screams at the early stages of the shoot but Dad had the magic touch to calm him down! Worked a treat and I’m booking him for all my other shoots in the future ;)!!!…
Heres a Link to the rest of the images 🙂
Spent a few hours this morning perfecting different lighting techniques for Jewellery. Using 2 lights, 2 white boards, a sheet of glass from a photograph on the wall, I played around and ended with some super cool results!! Im still in awe of how close i can get in with my new Sigma still keeping loads of sharpness!! Keep your eyes peeled for more snaps of my lovely Fore watch!
Heres a link to my Flickr page where I have a few more shots!
Our Fun Day at Queenswood!! 19 6 2013-Large from Matthew Watkins on Vimeo.
The time is nearly upon us again!! This was back in our glorious summer last year!! Queenswood was the most fantastic backdrop anyone could ask for to run some Lifestyle Photo Sessions!! All the families that i had the pleasure of meeting up there had a fantastic time and were more than happy with the images that they had to take home!! There are so many great spots there to get some lovely portraits of your family in or just to have snaps of the kids!!
The lifestyle sessions don’t have to wait for the summer though!! If you enjoy splashing round in puddles and they kids love getting muddy! Then nows the best time to take advantage of it!! They sessions are by no means expensive and run for around 2 hours ending with all the images taken given to you as digital files!! If you’d like to see more then check out my pages that i will link too underneath…

Looking back through my image library I decided to reedit some of my old stuff that I found. I found this great shot of Abbey from a few months back and decided to spend some time and do things a little differently with it. Love the mixture of soft and sharp in this and the whole image seems to work! Happy days!!
What a cool name for a dog. Allan. But a COOL dog does indeed need a COOL name! Allan was this. He was so well behaved and had great owners that look after him so well, and it shows as the bond between them was fantastic! A month or two ago I allowed for a Free Pet Photo shoot to be put into a raffle with all the proceeds going to Hereford & Worcester animal rescue! I’m so glad that these won it! Had a blast doing this so it looks like I have another thing to offer! Pet Portraits at the Studio! Get in touch if your interested!!

I’ve given myself a massive headache with these images! There are so many great images that I going to have to get through and with the ‘day job’ pulling me in for a whole weekend then I’m not getting an awful lot of time to edit them! Abbey was great again and brought a spot of attitude to the shoot that just worked! I thought I’d post a teaser image and I’ll post more as i get through them! The only issue is a few stray shadows here and there that I’m going to have to look out for in the future! Nothing that can’t be worked around though!
Abbey is also a fan of Pretty Green, Ive seen on an advert of theirs a cool looking image blending their paisley pattern in and I thought I’d give it a go myself! Sorry LG
For the photo dudes out there…. this was my first shoot experimenting with a black background! I even found myself using a flag! Happy Days!

Last weekend the studio welcomed Dylan and his fun family! The little guy did not stop from the second he arrived and was a load of fun! The balloons were a massive success too! Even if he did want to pop them by HEAD-BUTTING them!!! Cool dude !!! Shame about the choice of football team though ;)!!

This is a young lady form Hereford that is hoping to get some response from a modelling agency with some studio portraits that i took of her last Friday evening! We had a blast and she brought her ‘gang’ with her! Mother and a bunch of best friends! They were all getting involved fair play and it turned out to be an enjoyable evening!
