God I'm Hopeless at this

Forgot that this blog thing is meant to be updated regularly, anyway it's not 'belle de jour' but I like it. Will do more to keep things updated and promise an update every week. With a new picture in each. So today's picture is of a little treasure. A truly delightful baby girl, as you can see above. This young model was shot recently and obviously has the world at her feet!!

A family portrait i shot a week or so ago, the original shot was great and actually purchased as a canvas. I thought it could be spiced up a bit to literally give it a bit more angle. So I transformed the picture into a rubik's cube. The client also liked it.

I have been asked a few times about tutorials so have added a page to my website on photoshop tutorials. Hopefully you will find them easy to follow and create some nice artwork of your own.

Check my website http://www.davidbousfield.org/ for the progress of the tutorials

Thanks

Wedding and Andy

Andy and Wendy were married at 'As you like it' a restaurent in the middle of Newcastle. Friends and family witnessed the event and then enjoyed a reception and band. Good luck to the lovely couple.

Great North Run

Last weekend saw another record breaking crowd pound the streets from Newcastle to South Shields. My wife I am proud to say was one of them and she did extremely well clocking a time of 2hrs and 1min, a personal best. Which seems even stranger to say as it is only her second half marathon. She bettered her last time for the 13.1 mile course by over 20 minutes - an achievement in it's own right. So well done to all those who made the yearly pilgrimage, and see you next year for the 30th anniversary run - it'll be a biggie!!!

Zoe and Damian were married at Matfen Hall, Northumberland. Friends and family witnessed a very personal service and celebrated with a reception afterwards. A truly lovely couple whose family and friends could not speak of highly enough. The rain held off as predicted by the bride, we finished the outdoor shots at 1.30pm and the rain started at 1.35pm. This is one of my favourite shots from the day, although I must admit I got lots of great pictures that day.

A very enjoyable portrait session with Louise, a local model. We had a great laugh and got some fantastic shots, this is one of my favourites. Have just finished processing images from the weekends Weddings, will upload a couple later in the week.

One of my favourite pictures from a shoot with Sam, don't worry she is fully dressed and believe it or not we were in the Library at Durham Cathedral!! Amazing what you can do with a decent flash. Hope you like it, will post more over the next few days.
