Anya – Outdoor Portraits
This was another assignment for my course, to scout out possible locations for an outdoor standard portrait shot (head and shoulders), then decide on one location and take the portrait shots. For this I had a few places in mind, as did Anya, they were in the same area so we went for a walk around and instead of just taking photos of an area I knew well, as possible locations, I actually took some portrait shots in each location
Balcony Portraits
As part of the photography course I am doing there is a module called ‘People and Place’ which is kind of a mixture of Portraiture, Locations, and the bringing of them together to take better shots of people in specific contexts for potential clients.

Weekend in St Petersburg
We arrived into St Petersburg Pulkovo 1 airport from Moscow to be greeted by the damp cold that you just don’t get in Moscow, we took a cab we booked at the airport right into the historic Centre by St Isaac’s Cathedral where our hotel was for a reasonable 700 rubles.
