Danü & Meli Part II

by Rob Edgerley· September 28, 2018· in People· 14 comments
  “Before you submit it to your subconscious you have to consciously practice it.” I don’t want to bore you with text, I did that last time. In brief, I shot part deux of Danü and Meli’s wedding in August and I was treated like a king for my services. Danü and Meli, their family and their friends made sure I wanted for nothing. I will be eternally grateful for this amazing opportunity they gifted me. It’s work, without a doubt, but it’s so worth it. Making people smile will always be my motivation in life and through photography, I’ve discovered that it’s somewhat of a short-cut path to achieving this, which is utterly addictive. Anyway, I invite you to take a look at Part II, the final part, of my first ever wedding. I loved it and I hope you do too.

Danü & Meli

by Rob Edgerley· July 08, 2018· in People· 9 comments
  “A mind that is stretched by new experiences can never go back to it’s old dimensions.” Oliver Wendell Homes A few weeks a ago I stepped into the unknown and photographed my first wedding. What an experience that was and it isn’t over yet. It was roughly two years ago that a friend of ours approached me and told me (yes, told me) that I was going to photograph his wedding. We were drunk, so we embraced and thought nothing more of it. It wasn’t until some months later that we met again and sure enough he said the same thing, “Rob, you’re going to be our wedding photographer!”. But once again we were drunk, so we embraced and said nothing more about. It wasn’t until earlier this year that we met when we weren’t (that) drunk and we made it official that I would indeed be their wedding photographer. A two part wedding with the first leg in Thun, Switzerland and the second, much larger occasion in Osiek, Croatia this August. Since making it official, I started gathering all the gear I would need, lenses, flashes, you name it, read through all my notes from every workshop I’ve […]

Wedding Album

by Rob Edgerley· April 23, 2018· in People· 12 comments
  Yes yes and yes! We decided to finally sort our wedding album out with Rossco and boy are we glad we did. What a beautiful and engaging experience it is looking back at our wedding day like this. I now have a whole new appreciation for print. It’s hard to express the feeling really, other than it’s just truly special. It’s one of those processions you know you and your future generations will cherish dearly. Couldn’t be happier. So happy in fact, I felt the need to document it all. Enjoy! Rossco, thank you so much for making this happen! You’re an absolute gent of gents!

Austi & Nat

by Rob Edgerley· December 10, 2017· in People, Portraits· 13 comments
  So I finally got around to blogging my post-Nine Dots shoot with my good buddies, Austin and Natalia. Not because it was a lot of work or anything, but because it’s been non-stop action over the last few weeks. We had Mammy Edge visiting us the week I returned from London, then the day after she left we boarded a flight to Barcelona for a street photography workshop with Pau Buscató. ‘Tis a hard life really. I can only start this off really by saying a little bit about my Nine Dots experience. Cue list of superlatives: most insane, incredible, humbling, love filled and mind blowing experience. Ever! I began the event with a handful of photographer friends and came away being part of a photography family. Thanks for making me feel so welcome guys/gals. You Rock! Despite staying up each night chatting and drinking wine until the wee hours of the morning in our “luxurious” AirBnB with two of my most favourite people in the world, Rossco and Aga, I was totally pumped (creatively) each day. I just couldn’t wait to put it all into practice with Austi & Nat. Lucky for them, I entered my FIRST EVER […]

Slovakia Shoot

by Rob Edgerley· June 29, 2017· in People· 2 comments tags: Portraits
  Just a short post containing a few practice shots of Mrs. Edge in Slovakia. I’m starting to really get a hang of which kind of shooting conditions work best for composition and skin tones and also how to get the best out of the camera for a given condition. The biggest revelation recently, is that the camera preview shows a jpeg image and not the raw…doh! That means any clipping shown on the preview, even in the histogram, is all based on that jpeg – which of course has a massively reduced dynamic range! I’m starting to use those graphs a lot more too and also using my noggin to compensate for that crappy JPEG preview. I’ve massive respect for you pro’s doing this almost intuitively. It’s quite a challenge to balance light, composition *and* camera settings, while at the same time not having your subject wait around while you scratch your head and talk yourself through the reasoning behind the settings (of course that never happened – red face). Anyway, that’s why I love love love photography. As always, I hope you like. Much love.

Milano

by Rob Edgerley· April 17, 2017· in People, Portraits· 5 comments tags: People, Portraits
  Ciao a tutti! Amazing weather, delicious food, strong coffee and the best company. What a great way to spend Easter weekend. I had some projects running over the few days/nights, not all of them successful. Mainly because the weather was so fantastic and we got thirsty…quite often. Despite the frequent thirst quenching pitstops, we did manage to walk our socks off, averaging around 18km per day. We’re looking forward to putting our feet up tonight anyway, that’s for sure. At just 3hrs from Bern, we’ll definitely be making that trip more often though. Double/Multiple exposures were on the agenda and I think I managed to play around enough to understand the idea. It’s lots of fun, and I have a few more things to try before I move on. That’ll have to wait until next time though. As always, I hope you like!       My street projects didn’t really get going, unfortunately, but failure is ok too. Sometimes. Here are a few from the weekend anyway.     …and no, Mrs. Edge is not always behaving! Thanks for getting this far. Much love!

Photoshoot with Mrs. Edge

by Rob Edgerley· April 12, 2017· in People, Portraits· 1 comments tags: People, Portraits
  No much to say on this one so I’ll keep it short and sweet. In between cruising the highlands and island of bonny Scotland in our *sweeeeet* rental car, I managed to fire off a few totally candid shots (wink) of the missis in Edinburgh…and some bonus landscapes at the end too, sure why not. Funky composition was the target, but I also wanted to address some annoying compositional errors I was making. I wasn’t composing the face correctly at all, and I was losing quite a lot of the image cropping to correct for it in post. This time I tried composing where I thought was good, then pushing it a little further. I think it’s worked and I could even push some more next time out.

Photoshoot with Beth Bower

by Rob Edgerley· March 16, 2017· in People, Portraits· 1 comments tags: People, Portraits
  En route to the Alan Law Photography workshop last weekend (which was *amazing* by the way) I had arranged with my beautiful cousin, Bethany (Beth), to spend the day together and see what amazing shots we could come up with. From the set below you may be forgiven for thinking Beth is someone bursting with confidence, well, not quite. Beth is a young woman of very few words, mainly due to many years of bullying in school, and even after all these years I am still yet to meet the real Bethany. Despite this, Beth is a keen beauty pageant entrant and can often be found on stage performing her many talents in front of hundreds of people. From this, Beth has discovered that helping others is what makes her smile and is now the local representative for “Make a Wish UK”, a charity, which has granted more than 10,000 magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions. She is often donating to the homeless with her little 6 year old nephew, Ollie, and holding charity events where the proceeds are donated to those she feels are most in need of a little help around the country.

Best of 2016

by Rob Edgerley· January 01, 2017· in People, Portraits, World Travel· 1 comments tags: Best of, People, Street
  Well I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty glad 2016 is now behind us. It’s been one weird year which shook the world of politics and saw the deaths of many much loved icons. This was the Lord Voldemort of years. If years were movies, 2016 would be “Dr. Strangelove”. If years were songs, 2016 would be “The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?).” It’s not all been bad, however. Gravitational waves were detected, proving Einstein was right, a plane circumnavigated the globe without a drop of fuel and a woman called Candace Payne put on a Chewbacca mask and made the world cry with laughter. In photography terms, my year has been very productive. I bought a new camera system and started experimenting a lot more with light and composition. I even bought myself two flash units and a remote flash controller for some OCF work. I discovered multiple exposures, light painting, Lightroom presets, a better sharpening technique and Photo Mechanic for a more efficient culling process. I recently posted a plot on Facebook showing the number of images within in my “best of” set over the last few years, which was a bit of fun but also […]
