Snip, Sew, Snap photowalk

A few weeks ago, I was joined by some local friends, Emily and Vicky, to take part in a photo walk that we shared live on Instagram. You can watch the whole thing here.

I thought I would share some of the images that we took here.

We started by taking some photos of Emily against a lovely shaded bit of foliage in the park.

We tried to relax Emily, who is a very reluctant model, by getting her to move and trying to make her laugh for a nice natural shot.

This photo of Emily shows how angles and composition are key. At this angle, it appears as it there is a mushroom growing out of the top of her head!

Whereas this angle looks much better:
