This new facility really is going to take Trev Wilson Photography to a whole new level of customer service and needs.  We can offer everything from newborn shoots, family groups through to model portfolio work.  Models if you have a idea or project your thinking about give us a call, we have the space to built a set to your specification.

2012 has been fantastic so far for TWP, we became Licentiate qualified with the Society of Wedding & Portrait Photographers, we gained Qualified status in both Weddings and Portraits with the Guild of Photographers (one of only ten photographers to hold both qualifications with the Guild).  The set building is already under way for my Associate qualification panel, with an amazing model and make up artist already on board for that project.  All will be revealed in the future for that one, so keep checking back because this is where it’ll be published first.

Of course the motivation & drive for all of this would not be possible without  the mentoring, teaching skills and business support of all at Team McGillicuddy, in my opinion the UK’s number one teaching & mentoring scheme.

It is very difficult to put into words how excited I am about the future of Trev Wilson Photography.

The images below are of the three studios, yes thats not a typo, three fully equipped studios not to mention the dedicated make up artist area the model changing area and kitchen area. (Images courtesy of Vipimages.co.uk)

The two images below of the fabulous Paula Vickers show exact process of marrying up the correct lighting technique and style to the suit the theme.

A lot of photographers have a hang up about letting couples get involved in the creative process of the wedding day photography and then the album design.  At TWP we are not like any other photographers, I involve you from the very first meeting in discussing what you like about our images, because lets face you have viewed our galleries and blog and then picked up the phone to arrange a meeting.  Its a creative collaboration from the very start.  Carla and Chris have chosen a beautiful Venice Album, hand built in Italy from the very finest materials and printed to the highest quality.  I am really looking forward to this album arriving and then presenting it to Carla & Chris to see their first reactions on opening it.

Once again thank you so much for the opportunity to spend time with you both and your great family & friends on your wedding day.  Here is a small selection of my favourites from the day.

After lunch was a practical session re enforcing previously covered lighting styles but as always Damian throws in a little gem of a new technique and without doubt this little gem was a diamond.  We used a amazing beauty photographer technique to take portraits.  This technique really is unique and is one that I can only imagine is a little trade secret.

Well I couldn’t wait to try out this new lighting style so I arranged a shoot with Annabel immediately.  For any photographers that follow my blog, to create the lighting for the image of Annabel below I used a Nikon SB900 flash gun fired into (with a twist) the fantastically versatile Damian McGillicuddy 36″ Beauty Dish.  For the photographer on go this series of dishes which come three sizes 19″, 36″ and 48″ are amazing due to them being collapsible and so easy to store away and no fear of them falling over and being dented.  Trust me mine have had a few bumps and still produce beautiful lighting.

So it was after some initial positive feedback from you guys on seeing Annie’s images on Facebook I decided to enter the fourth image here in the Society of Wedding & Portrait Photographers monthly competition.  The competition runs for 12 months with tens of thousands of entries covering all genres of photography.  I selected the Contemporary Portrait category for November.  It was my only entry, so I was extremely pleased to be awarded a Silver award.  The category had a total of 96 entries of which 12 gained a silver.

Newborn portrait sessions are booking up fast so if you are thinking of booking a session then get in touch quick to secure a appointment.
