Marco Pierre White is spending a lot more time in the Northwest these days with the White Swan restaurant in Aughton and another in Chester. The brief was to grab a few PR/promo photos of him yesterday. And as a few people have already remarked – it was nice to see him smiling too!

A little while back I photographed the model portfolio of Emily. Watch this space for Liverpool’s next top model! It was a free model portfolio shoot with Emily signing a model release so we could use the images for our stock photography sites. That way Emily gets international exposure and high res images from the shoot and Ant Clausen Photography receives a small percentage from future image sales. We’re currently looking for models for similar shoots, with stock photography being the main theme. The first test shoots will be unpaid, and if the model is successful and has the look we’re after, there will be future paid work.
Contact Ant Clausen Photography on 07814 457 247 for more details.
Here’s some photographs from Emily’s shoot.

Brief – capture photographs of resident Margaret of One Park West. Had a lovely cup of tea and met the most amazing person ever. This was last year and tonight I ran into her again. Margaret has many an amazing story to tell. One in particular was her voyage to New Zealand in 1960 to become a seamstress. It just so happened that my Mum was travelling to the UK at that same time… to become a seamstress. A very enjoyable hour sipping tea, chatting away… and grabbing a few snaps somewhere in the middle. This (below) was the very last shot I took. And this, as I was informed of tonight, was also in the Times newspaper a couple of months ago!
Have to say I love photography and everything it brings – and i’m never surprised where one’s photos end up.. although sometimes it would be nice to know in advance, as I would have been happy to spend a pound to see my first photograph in the Times! (that I know of anyway)
Anyway – here’s Margaret. From a technical standpoint, yes the background is completely blown out etc etc.. but in fairness… the background was a carpark. The shoot was all about Margaret and I really don’t liking using flash, not a big fan at all… so I kinda like the fact that the background is blown out and the focus is more on Margaret (and not the carpark)

Wandering out for coffee every morning before the heat of the day hit, ended up being quite a nice little tradition on the extended weekend spent in Mallorca. Here’s a portrait of Natalia and her 86 year old grand pa on the last morning.

Shot in natural light first thing in the morning. Contrast/tones etc adjusted in Lightroom to bring out the “dark-side”

Thanks Bel for sending in a shot of the “two terrors” that I photographed whilst back in New Zealand earlier this year. Your room looks fab! It’s great to see my photographs on your wall!

I will be focussing on shooting portraits over the winter – creating nice crisp high-key black and whites. For more portraits click here to go back to my gallery.
