Amelia is now a girl

Marcus — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:33:07 +0000

On Saturday I got to spend time with my special friends (the Zanin’s) and their beautiful little girl who really has moved on from a baby and now has the most personality since the day she was born. She’s amazing and so cute and I love how much she has impacted my friends lives and how much she loves them and even more how much it shows their love for each other.

I shot some photos in the dark of her just hanging out and rocking on her little keyboard. Thought they work well as black and whites.

Halloween Pumpkin Carvings

Last night we got together for our annual pumpkin carving (rubbish talking and laughing) session. As always it was classic and I wish I had’ve filmed the whole night. These are the carvings we made.

Happy Halloween everyone. Be safe.

Dinner Club Distractions

Marcus — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 11:46:02 +0000

Being a photographer and working full time shooting photos makes it hard some times to walk around without a camera because I always see stuff I want to shoot. This is a prime example of good friends coming over for dinner on the weekend and then me taking out gear and shooting photos of them with their little girl. I love these three people.

Super Special Park Friends

Marcus — Sat, 01 May 2010 20:42:28 +0000

Today I spent an amazing day with a bunch of special friends in Hyde Park just relaxing and hanging out. Nothing nicer than having a picnic and speaking crap with people close to you. I waited all day to shoot portraits of us but it started getting dark near the end and as I set up it was basically too late and we got cut short with rain. The light changed so quick and I had to keep adjusting so these are very different in terms of lighting but I like them so much. Special friends making special memories.

Hope you are all well. Happy Bank Holiday weekend.

Mad Hatters Portraits

Marcus — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 00:51:48 +0000

It was my friends birthday so we had a Mad Hatters fancy dress tea party today to celebrate and just all spend time together on bank holiday weekend. It was a super time and for once I decided to take my camera with and shoot some portraits of each of our friends and they came out quite cool with the background that we created. Just good fun.

Obviously I shot quite a few and they are all good so I wont put them all up but these are my 7 favourites so far. Let me know what you think.

I hope you are all well. Marcus

London Family Portrait

Marcus — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:12:58 +0000

I shot some self-timed fun portraits with some of our good friends about a week back and I thought I would put one of them up on here. This one is one of my favourites because we are all looking at the camera and not playing too much of the fool like the rest of them.

Holga 35mm

Marcus — Thu, 28 May 2009 12:24:15 +0000

So, my site is still not completely finished which really is getting me down but that is how life goes some times and although I really want to update it with content and save my latest images for that, I have decided to post some personal experimental images that I have been shooting in my free time that isn’t part of the commissioned work that I do but definitely still as fun for me.

I have a lot that needs to be processed (physically and not digitally) and will post more as they come but for now here are 5 images that I shot with my Holga 35mm plastic lens camera that my wife bought me for this passed Christmas. It’s super cool looking and really has a fun feel to it but I really battle to shoot with something that doesn’t allow me to control exposure so instead I find myself using other means to get by this. These photos are mostly of the sky on a cloudy / rainy day about 2 weeks back and then a portrait of my good friends and wife that I shot in a tiny road off of Brick Lane.

Sun Fun in Hyde Park

Marcus — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 00:34:52 +0000

Today we (my misses and I) had a super fun day out in the sun at Hyde Park with our good friends Warren and Andrea. It was really a relaxing time and we just spent the afternoon having a picnic and enjoying the outdoors and talking and getting lazy. Warren has recently bought himself a camera to play with so I brought mine along in case we got some time to shoot photos together and I ended up shooting some fun snaps of the group at sunset which is now peaking at around 8:15pm. I had very little gear with me but I made do with what I had and think that some really cool moments have been captured here. I did make a rookie school boy mistake and shot only in JPEG for some weird unknown reason so I have decided not to do any post work on these except for resizing. We were just playing the fool and some of them are slightly incorrectly exposed because of the light being moved over or aimed in the wrong direction but I like them and would really like to know what you think so comment if you have the time.

I hope you are all well. Marcus

Warren Zanin

Marcus — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 10:23:07 +0000

WOW, I found this while backing up my hard drive and I forgot how much I love it. This is my friend Warren and I shot some photographs of him the day before he moved across the world just over a year ago. It was purely for fun and a way that we could spend time together but now after a year we live really close together (we also have moved) and spending time with him now makes me remember exactly how fun he is. This photo sums up what it’s like when we hang out. Funny.

Also, as you might have noticed, my photographs now have a black border when I post them. This is to match my portfolio that goes out to clients. I hope you like it.

Going shooting this weekend so will be sure to post some new stuff after the weekend. Been really busy here which is good and super exciting. Hope you are all well. Marcus

Warren the BEST Guy

Marcus — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:38:05 +0000

My friend Warren just mailed me from London to ask if I could send him some head shots so he can list with agencies to be an extra in movies. Haha, every photo I have of him is one where he is acting like a clown. I sent him this one that I forgot about. Sure they would hire him with this. Haha. Sooooo good.

Warren and Andrea

Marcus — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 14:01:06 +0000

My good friends, Warren and Andrea, are relocating to London tomorrow for a while. It’s super sad to say good bye to them but I know they are going to have the best time ever. I cannot wait to go over again and hang out with them in a place that I love so much. Be safe guys, going to miss you. x
