Mobile Studios that can be taken virtually anywhere!

We only use the best equipment in our mobile studio

Rick Taylor currently shoots with a Nikon camera system and as a former Photographic Retail Manager with 10 years experience in setting-up and running camera shops in the UK & Ireland has a great deal of experience and hands on product knowledge with all the major camera manufacturers equipment released on the market throughout the rise of the new digital age.

rick“I am traditionally trained , old school !, 35mm black & white hand processing in the plastic trays under a red light!…..those were the days. Although nostalgic I may get, today IS the day and NOW is the time, my journey through the development (excuse the pun) of photography was just at the right time, I had completed my photography degree in Manchester in 2000 just a couple of years before the Digital boom really began, I had however been scanning negatives and digitally processing them through Photoshop (version 2) since  1996!, so I embraced the change as new and very exciting !”

Above  is a basic studio set-up ideal for the home environment, allot can be achieved with a single model light set-up an a few colour backdrops!

We have quite a variety of equipment in our studio, we use the Bowen’s Gemini lighting system and travel pack battery when on location, which gives us the ability to create studio lighting anywhere, be it in a forest, on a beach or in a derelict factory where there is no power supply ! It is also compact enough to bring to a clients house and set-up with very little space needed at all!

I love to use available light wherever I can though, you cant beat natural sunlight!, a reflector in the right place can do wonders to an image, that’s what it’s all about at the end of the day we are manipulators of light!

First Focus Photography

My interest in photography as an art form started with my first plastic camera and a trip to the beach.

Since then, I've studied fine art and photography and now I have the privilege of working in the field full-time.

I'm passionate about portraiture and I'm keen to make your event or wedding shoot unique.

I'm based in Ireland and I'm happy to travel as necessary. I know a good deal about camera hardware and I'm always adding to my studio set-up.

Leave me a 'comment' or contact me if you need any advice.

My name's Rick; I'm a photographer.
