Sophie Cooper wanted to give modelling a go.  So with along with Aura Photographic Studio and make up artist Vicky Aldridge we dropped in a session for some beauty portraiture.

Other photographers will agree that the question we often get asked by people thinking about taking photography more seriously is: -

If you're not a photoshop nerd, look away now . . . I was surprised to learn how few photographers were aware that you could use a Black And White Adjustment Layer to fine tune the colours in a colour image.  It comes down to blending modes.

Imagine you're the conscript. I put this together for something to do.  It comprises of some old images I took.  A Welsh landscape, a picture of Jason took in the studio and some gargoyles taken at Alton Towers (of all places). I created it to kill time, but I actually like how it turned out, almost planned! The full set of images can be found on Behance here ...
