Amongst other work, I do a lot of what could best be described as science photography, but I also do general health and healthcare photography too.
Some of my older blog posts (see Lighting the Lab series) detail my experiences in taking these photos in my new portfolio, but in summary the main thing I learnt was this: science labs all look exactly the same. If you want to get effective images on this type of assignment you really have to put the effort in, and go to town with the off-camera lighting and coloured gels! I put my Nikon speedlights in some places you wouldn’t want to think about on a normal day.
The raft of new images I produced have earned their own section I thought, so if you’re interested head over to my main website and have a look at my new ‘Science, health and education’ section under ‘photo portfolios’.
