Last night, I had the pleasure of shooting with Ash.

For his first time in front of the camera, I think he did incredibly well. He fell into poses very easily and it was a pleasure taking photos of him. I look forward to future shoots with him

Here’s the best of the shoot:

Over the long weekend, my close and dear friend Spyke came over and we had a play in my new studio space and experimented with the lights and different poses.

He is such an incredible model, always able to fall into the right pose so easily – I love working with him so much!! Can’t wait for the next time.

Here’s the best from the shoot:

The most fun was trying to get all the images perfect in camera, so there was minimal photoshop done to all of these.

A big thanks to everyone who entered the competition!! We have a winner – username: Bert. He has the choice of any one of the AllyKatDesign Actions FOR FREE that you can find here in the shop.

Also I have a sneak peak for you – Beauty Retouching Actions.

I have included before and after samples of the action.

The actions are designed to help you cut down on your retouching time by doing all the fiddly work for you. There will be a few different choices of effects such as adding a tan and different skin glow effects, including the famous Jill Greenburg glow effect.

With the addition of the new review feature on the AllyKatDesign Shop, I have decided to run a competition where with every review that you leave, enters you into the draw to win a free AllyKatDesign Action of your choice.

Each review you write for AllyKatDesign Actions or Brushes gives you one entry. The more reviews you write the more entries you get. At the end of the competition, all of your names go into an excel spreadsheet, then a random number generator picks the winner

Entries end on 12th of April EST.

What are you waiting for? Go write a review now

Remember. each review helps me hone the products for you the user. Good or bad the reviews help.

Good luck and I look forward to reading your reviews.

This is a the follow up shoot, from the pregnancy one that I did a few weeks ago, which you can have a look at here.

Shooting babies is interesting. As soon as this little guy had the camera pointed at him, he grizzled and complained , so I just took the images in short bursts, while mum cuddled him in between.

Both of these shoots were edited using the classic wedding action set.

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure with shooting with the gorgeous Emily from Model Mayhem. It was a gangster styled shoot and also another chance for me to practise new lighting set ups. She was truly a wonderful inspiration to work with!

Hi everyone, I have finally added new images to my Photographic portfolio.

Have a look

I have also updated the look of the portfolio page for easier navigation.

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting with one of the most wonderful models that I have ever worked with! He was an absolute inspiration and is now my muse. It was incredible to work with someone, where every photo and pose were just perfect. Imagine sorting through those photos and trying to pic out the best! It was very difficult, but I prevailed and offer now just a small sample from the shoot. Enjoy!
