HOW I GET YOUR IMAGES TO YOU

All wedding, event & portrait packages include a FREE online gallery!

Here at Final Touch I have a unique and effortless way of getting your finished pictures to you. Rather than giving you a cd of watermarked images that you need to distribute between everyone that wants copies, I give you a FREE online gallery.  Your gallery can be accessed 24 hours a day 7 days a week, from wherever you are in the world.  This means that all of your family and friends can see your pictures without the hassle!

From the gallery you can order reprints, enlargements or you can choose from a list of carefully selected gifts which will be made availabe for your collection.  You can even download full resolution copies to print yourself as many times as you like or to use on the web!  You can also enjoy a rich slideshow of your collection with background music.

The benefits of delivering your pictures this way are two fold, because not only is it easier and quicker, it also cuts down my costs allowing me to pass on the discounts to you.

PHOTO TIP - The Action Curve

Those of you that know me and my work will know that I have a passion for capturing "the" moment.  Following the "action curve" is a skill that I am always trying to improve. 

When photographing people it is important to understand how situations and actions develop so that you can be ready with your camera at precisely the right moment. 

 

For example: When a couple meet at a train station welcoming each other with a hug.  This situation can be broken down in to three parts: 1. The couple moving towards each other.  2. The hug.  3. The release. 

It's true to say that a good picture could come from any of these three elements but for me the best photo is found in the hug.  This is where the "moment" exists, a split second which is full of emotion and feeling, and that is what I want to capture!

 

So the next time you're out with your camera, give it a go, watch for the action curve starting then get ready to catch the action as it peaks.  This way you will always ensure you get lively photos of your friends and family.

Photographer for a day scheme

Summer has well and truly arrived, with the warmest day of the year recorded today! 

Over the summer I want to dedicate more time to voluntary work, so I will be offering photography services for FREE to selected deserving causes.  I am launching the "photographer for a day" scheme, which will offer a full day of photography to help you promote the work you do or to illustrate an event you're holding.  You may even want some images for your website, a leaflet or a news letter.  All images under this scheme will be donated royalty free so that you can use them however you like.

If you are involved with a charity, or a charitable club or association and you think you could benefit from the "Photographer for a day" scheme please get in touch giving full details of your work and how you think I could help.  Time is limited so the sooner you get in touch the more likely it is that I will be able to help!

Web site update

It's that time of year when I overhaul the website and change things around.  This means I spend too much time sat at the computer for my liking but it has to be done!  I'm busy redesigning the website as I type, in the meantime I'm sorry for any innconvenience.  You can still access the site as normal as it will remain fully functional during the update.  Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

Thanks for your patience!
