Shooting the Pro...

This is Charlotte's brother Peter. He has been a photographer for as long as I can remember even leaving school at 16 to go and work as a lowly dark room assistant for LAT (a big photography company that specialize in motor sport) working his way up to now running his own studio. Having done the F1 tour multiple times and flown all around the world shooting motorsport I would have found it hard to talk to him regarding my interest in the past (seeing as though I have only been shooting seriously since march 2012) Charlotte and I also thought that there would be NO WAY he would pose for a photograph for todays blip.

Just shows how wrong you can be. We had a wonderful meal where we talked about lighting and equipment and ideas and our hate for photographers that quote numbers at us... We don't get to see him as often as we would like so it was a special treat to be able to spend some time with Pete and do this shot.

Ok - So he is not FULLY visible in the picture but this is probably about as "portrait" as he can get.
