Top folio shot 2014: April

OK so it’s a doggie shot. But a damn good one. And this shot worked so beautifully in Robin’s folio alongside a fashion shot, a flower image, and a close up of a woman’s face. Robin’s folio was an example of style over subject, and all the strongest shots to me could be summed up by

Here I am again on the first day of April madly delving into the last 3 month’s worth of images I have already edited for folios this year.

Top folio shots of 2013: April- June

Another busy few months has seen lots of interesting work cross my laptop. Funnily enough I ended up with a few travel shots this quarter. Since I’m wallowing in mid-winter here, maybe my choice of images means I need a holiday! Anyway, I’m off to light a fire. In the meantime, here are my 3
