Beautiful summers day with Emma out and about. The farmer wasn't too happy about us using his hay bales but it didn't stop us making the most of the sun, great day and great model. Cheers Emma

Martin Taylor MBE - THE Acoustic Guitarist of his Generation

A few weeks back we had a shoot with Martin Taylor MBE. Yup, that's right, multi-award winning, world famous guitarist and composer Martin Taylor, the same guy who's collaborated with Jeff Beck, Bill Wyman and George Harrison to name but a few!!

It was a pleasure to meet him and to have been asked to take his photo. He's extremely down to earth and alot of laughs were had on the night.

Unfortunately we didn't get out to our chosen outdoor location due to weather issues but am overall really happy with the studio shots, Martin is too! Clean, simple and quick shots were the order of the day.

Martin has 2 new Signature Series guitars available for sale which can be seen in the photos above, they are gorgeous, I reckon I might be interested in purchasing one myself.

A huge and enormous and massive thanks go out to Stef and Keith at Rainbow Music for setting all this up and hope to do it all again soon.

Scarlett on location

Our location shoot with Scarlett, was the only day in the last week or so that's been dull and grey, typical! Still the weather didn't stop us and we even managed a few bikini shots, must be nuts. Scarlett is from the states so love the first set with US flag top and love the new location we've found in carnoustie, i'm sure there will be loads of shoots from there in the future. Thanks to Scarlett for a wonderful afternoon, she's super nice and alot of fun to work with.

Mostly shot with natural light (which makes a change) with my usual lenses - 35, 85, 135L.

Rufflet's Country House & Hotel - Bridal Shoot

So to tie in with the launch of our 2012 website and new look here's a post about a wedding related shoot from last week, that's right, we do weddings and we have loads of new pictures on the site and here on the blog. We've also refined and updated all our package prices (including weddings) to make your day even more special. If you are looking for a friendly young couple to photograph your wedding in Dundee, Angus or Central Scotland this year or next come and say hello.

What a wonderful bunch of models and day spent shooting at the beautiful Rufflets Country House Hotel in St Andrews. Sadly the weather was extremely dull so the majority of the shoot took place inside the Hotel, we missed out on that lovely bridge over the burn and gardens but maybe next time. Rufflets couldn't have been more accommodating, a perfect venue for a perfect wedding.

Models for the day were Tony, Seonaid, Hayley, Ferrol and Hazel. Hairstylist was Carrie Buchanan and Makeup Artist was Kirsty Miller. Dresses supplied by Diane Lynn Bridal Dundee.

Sarah Nov 3

We're all very happy with this set, was a joy to do. The dress, the setting and of course sarah are all lovely. Shot at Crombie Country Park we certainly got a few strange looks from passers by but who cares with results like these. Thanks to Gilly and Sarah for a very productive shoot day.

Set shot with… Canon 5d Mark II // Canon 35mm 1.4L // Canon 85mm 1.2L // Canon 135mm 2.0L // canon 430ex flash in 28 inch softbox

Sarah Nov 2

2nd shoot with Sarah (actually the 3rd but i'm keeping the best till last). The first few were shot on a big hay truck in the middle of a field in Carnoustie just as the sun was going down, couldn't stay long as we were getting bitten alive and my car was close to being stuck in the mud... it's so glamorous this business! Sarah was rocking the cowgirl look, lucky she brought along those boots and again the light was just perfect, I love when it comes together like that unexpectedly.

The last few shots were down at Dundee Riverside with an oil rig behind sarah to create some of that wonderful creamy back lighting. 

Set shot with... Canon 5d Mark II // Canon 35mm 1.4L // Canon 85mm 1.2L // Canon 135mm 2.0L // canon 430ex flash in 28 inch softbox

Sarah Nov 1

A bit of a christmas vibe going on here, well it is december in a few days. I want to do shoots like this all the time! Had a great day at Crombie Country Park with Sarah and Gilly. As the day went on the light got better and better and what a beautiful setting. Two more sets coming very soon and this one can be seen on our facebook page and photo diary

Taylor

Taylor came to us looking to kick off her portfolio with some great shots and to see if it would be something she enjoyed and would like to take further. For someone who hasn't modelled before she was the most natural and relaxed i've ever seen, obviously been watching way too much Britains Next Top Model. This is one of my favourite shoots so far, getting out of the studio and exploring new locations, I find it a much more natural and rewarding experience for us and the model. Even with the colder weather we're looking forward to stepping out more on shoots, we just have to find some new locations around Dundee and Angus, anyone have any ideas? 

These were shot in Carnoustie and Westhaven with ... Canon 5d Mark II  //  Canon 35mm 1.4L  //  Canon 85mm 1.2L  //  Canon 135mm 2.0L  //  canon 430ex flash

Oh and we have a new website - please check it out and maybe book a shoot yourself. www.burfly.co.uk
