Mother's Day photographs

Sunday was Mother's Day and I got to take some formal, set up, portraits at the local Baptist Church.
I brought in lights and a backdrop and shot the pics with a Nikon D70, as people wanted instant feedback. I prefer to shoot portraits in black and white with a medium format camera, using real film but, as the images will only be enlarged to 8" x 12", digital was just fine.
I think the pics work well in colour.

Portraits at Ceilidh's birthday celebrations

On Saturday 10 April I got hired to photograph Ceilidh Vigoriti's 30th birthday. The celebrations took place at Pomodoro Ristorante in Morningside, Johannesburg.
We set up a "photo booth" with studio lights where guests were photographed when they arrived, many choosing to ham it up with supplied props. Throughout the rest of the evening I shot digital pics of the proceedings which were printed out on the spot and given to the guests. It was a great idea and worked wonderfully.
In addition I shot a few pictures of Ceilidh and her mates with the Bronica on black and white film that was processed in Rodinal. The others can be seen here.
