I have added some Pinterest boards, ‘Urban Style Men’, ‘Urban Style Women’, ‘Urban Style Kids’ and ‘Urban Style Couples’, providing visual reference and some posing tips for urban portraits and Birmingham Street Style project. This is just to let you know what kind of images inspire me – clean lines, bold shapes, reflections, dramatic light, set in urban environments, street style fashion is subtly directed rather than captured dead straight, etc. You can view these boards on my Pinterest page http://pinterest.com/gwallsphoto

Brum Street Style Project – Jatte
As much as I love colour, I also like the grey on grey trend for the autumn 2013. Matte and shiny, gunmetal and smoking grey, charcoal and slate – all shades of grey made their way to the runways and into the shops this season, forming a basis for a…

Birmingham Street Style Project – Aran
It was so cold when we were waiting outside the International Conference Centre to find new faces for our Birmingham Street Style Project and in collaboration with The Rakish Gent! Keeping warm, wrapped up and insulated was understandably the theme of the day. Also, perhaps subconsciously, I was favouring grey…
