Self Portrait – Day 6 of 7

Julie Edwards Settings, Thoughts, Working January 24, 2026January 24, 2026 1 Minute

Back to the straight on image, shot down “length” of the office, but getting a little tighter (unflattering).

Instead of going back to the flash and modifier, the plan here was to stick with the natural light (as it was actually during the morning), using a (smaller than yesterday) reflector to bounce the light back from the window to fill in the shadow.

Using a 35mm lens up close can be a little unflattering, but i kinda like it here…

btw – I only wear the Mercedes hat as I liked the colours (as well as admiring Lewis), I have always been a big fan of the red cars first – the drivers are secondary for me in many ways but I have to love Lando, after all Norris is my husbands surname….

More tomorrow… Almost there..

I am a Sussex based photographer providing imagery for the entertainment industry. My working time is split fairly evenly between London and Sussex although I have worked all around the world; from Europe covering the BAFTA's, Glastonbury, Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals, to the USA covering The Oscars. Passing knowledge & experience on is very important to me and so I am proud to say I have served on the Board of the British Press Photographers Association, helping to improve the image and practices of working press photographers. I educate by writing a widely read “technical” blog detailing my use of Fuji cameras and other equipment as well as giving talks about Press (and other aspects of) Photography to camera clubs and groups.
