Carl Osbourn

Wow

To say the very least. Just noticed my viewcount. I can’t believe that many people have shown an interest in my work and actually bothered to check it out. This has made my day :)

Currently knocking a site together for my personal photography portfolio and cannot decide on a suitable name / domain / title for it. I’m having a similar dilemma that Cadence did – do I use my name (carl osbourn / carl osbourn photography) or an alias (silent boulevard I quite like)

Finally managed to sort out shooting a coastal sunrise this Sunday morning.

Any artistes on here who dabble in closeup portrait photography, particularly of makeup? My g/f is a makeup artist and I’m a ‘photographer’ (i love saying that) and was wondering what is the best kit to create good closeup facial shots that look good.

I went from ‘casual, few shots please’ photographer to ‘full-on wedding photographer’ in the space of 3 hours a few weekends ago. Talk about pressure! I hardly had a clue because I’d never done anything like it before. I’d only had my D80 a few months are hardly felt competent enough shooting a bloody wedding!
