Some food photography for a fantastic bistro on the Quayside, River Beat.
I used a mixture of daylight and fill in flash to give a natural light feeling to the shots. A narrow depth of field to give focus fall off, with very little photoshop treatment after in edits. Restaurants and bistros should never underestimate the value of professional food shots for social media to drive sales. A shoot for the best Bridal magazine in the north east , featuring the best bridal designs.
The shot in the studio feature models from www.bohomodels.com A couple of posters for a Movember campaign for a martial arts club in Darlington.
The shots are a fun twist on the self defence and use of BIC razor using the techniques from Krav Maga. A great shoot directed by Alan at MTR http://prodefencekravmaga.co.uk/ All shots used Bowens beauty dish on gemini 500 head available at http://www.bowensdirect.com/ How do you photograph ice cream and keep the texture under the studio lights?
The shots for a local design agency for ice cream manufacturer and using Maureen Murray a fantastic home economist. The shots where all set up with lighting and dishes , props etc in place without the ice cream. This give you a chance to light the subject without fear of ice cream melting. The ice cream is brought from the deep freeze and the balls are scooped up from the hard ice cream and placed in liquid nitrogen which reduces the temperature and has a boiling point of -196C It has also become increasingly common at top restaurants as a method for instantly freezing food and drinks, or creating an impressive cloud of vapour or fog when exposed to air.

We wanted to give a strong image using leading lines from the graphic pattern and using directional lighting. The main light was my favourite 75° Softlite Reflector by Bowens on a Gemini 500 head, an accent light through the glass to the left gives a rim light on the face and seperation from the background.

We had the privilege of a location trip to Robin Hood Airport to photograph the last flying Vulcan bomber as it was having aviation fuel offloaded by specialist haulage company Imperial Tankers. The Vulcan is currently being renovated in the hanger by a team of experts and the aviation fuel was need to be emptied and transported to another display Vulcan bomber. We used our Bowens travelpaks with Esprit Gemini 500 heads to light the tanker being offloaded. The Bowens travelpaks are a game changer for location work, giving ease and flexibility in lighting. Often in locations industrial units and hangers they use 3 phase sockets and the travelpaks wive you the ability to light the subject anyway without trailing extensions around the location. We had a fantastic day shooting this historic aircraft and its great to see that a dedicated team are looking after the last flying example.

We shot the job with Canon 7D and using Bowens travelpac lighting to give some dramatic industrial shots. We often shoot in very unpleasant conditions and a coal handling depot in the rain ranks as one of the more challenging locations. I think we nailed it with the mix of Bowens lighting and ambient lighting and a clever bit of post processing to give some dramatic images. All images are copyright Eric Murphy Photographer Ltd. Water shoot in the studio.
The shot below was taken in Bananastudio on a specially constructed set for the shoot. We achieved the dramatic lighting with 2 direct heads from behind with coloured gels to give a rim light effect. The front light was with a beauty dish from above pointing down towards the model. The backlighting was needed to record the water drops and splashes. The camera was set on the highest sync speed of 160th of a second at F5.6 The resulting shot captures the colours and splashes of the water and makes for a dramatic shot.
