One of the trademark styles of Ken Pugh Wedding Photography is the creation of beautiful, soft, romantic images
such as the image on the right. I manufacture my own soft filters, and work with my subjects to ensure that the settings, lighting
and wardrobe are perfect for these images.

The beautiful lady pictured here lives in Mexico City. How could one not resist capturing her beauty on film?
|
This image was created using the 'selective focus' technique I normally use for wildflowers. Mercedes was a perfect
subject for this type of image.
|
|
|
For this 'Boudoir' image, I created the dream-like quality using a combination of soft-image techniques . . . hair spray and vaseline.
|
This portrait of a teaching collegue was created to replicate the 'Old Masters' painting style.
ISO 400 slide film was pushed to 1600 to create a grainy texture.

Ever since I was a young boy, I have loved the country. Old barns and houses have a particular appeal and
many of my portrait ideas incorporate these familiar structures. The symmetry of the human form, combined with
the texture of old barn wood can be compelling.

Light picks up the warm colour of old barn wood and bring that quality into the images.
Bold colours such as pink or blue provide a nice contrast with the darkness of a barns interior.
White is also an effective colour.

Earth tones, such as the greys in the sweater below, can also compliment the barn's colours. Her blue eyes
and light hair were bonus colours. In all my portrait photography, attention to colour details are extremely important.

Betty's red hair was a perfect colour to compliment the fall colours in the background.

In this image, a beam of sunlight lasted for only a moment and provided a perfect leading line to Charlotte's foot.
|
I love making use of barn windows, as they provide a perfect frame.
|
|
|
In this image the barn window was glassed with age, which contributed to the rustic feeling I was trying to achieve.
|
This image uses a window screen to provide texture.

With this image, colour is everything. The blue sweater and the gold of the wheat go well together.
|
The sensualness of the warm summer sun is very strong in this image. Wheatfields in the late summer are a perfect location.
