Peter Northall – from photojournalism to wedding photography

Portrait Photography by Peter Northall CLICK HERE FOR PORTRAITURE SLIDESHOW

Portrait photography has been around since the invention and popularisation of the camera. Subjects were generally seated against a plain background with their heads held by a clamp (to stop movement) during the 30 second exposure. Times have changed...

Peter specialises in 'environmental portraiture'; photography which takes place in the client's home, usual or favourite surroundings and visually illuminates the subject's character, lifestyle and environment.

"By photographing you in your natural surroundings I am better able to see your personality, and therefore capture a true reflection of your character rather than merely portraying a likeness of your physical features. You will be more at ease (especially so for children), and so be more likely to express yourself."

With his background as a photojournalist, Peter offers a unique approach to portraiture. He will put you at ease, allowing the camera to capture you at your most relaxed, bringing out your personality and character. He uses his creative skills to develop the setting and the lighting and his photojournalism experience to capture the moment.

"A single photograph can express a beautiful narrative, tell a fabulous story. In pursuit of this I explore with the client an idea or subtle theme for the photographs which reflect an aspect of their life; perhaps Time or Style, maybe Passion or Interest. The subsequent portrait shoot is an exciting collaboration resulting in photographs to treasure for a lifetime."

Exposure usually around 250th of a second, no clamps!
