To start off the blog I have posted the first video in a series of short videos and slideshows that will be called “Exposed” the idea is to show a behind the scenes footage of what happens on my photo shoots, as well as unlocking some of those mysteries of how the final images are produced.

This is a spring fashion shoot I did recently for two local models, who wanted to spruce up there portfolio’s. I have included the bonus length video here, as we have actually made 2 types, for promotional use also. Special thanks must go to Studio Twenty Twenty for the video- ography, I love the final results and am extremely excited to work with them on the second video. http://www.studiotwentytwenty.com

Well it’s finally done, the blog that is. My name is Rik Vallis, I am a photographer from England, who has been living and working in Guangzhou, China for the last 4-5 years.

I have decided to start a blog to share my experiences as a growing photographer in this hectic business, as well as sharing with you behind the scenes footage from photo shoots, raw images and post processed work in the “Exposed” series.

I would class myself as a normal down to earth guy, and I hope that in this way you can relate to me and know that you not alone in the difficulties we all go through striving as a Professional Photographer or a trying to break into the business.

The type of work I do is mainly for fashion & commercial advertising clients, however I also love to dabble into different areas as well, check out my portfolio to see the “Artistic Travel Series” and the “Kitesurf Extreme” images. http://www.pixelatedframe.com

I would love to have your comments and feedback, I really want to make this blog as useful as I can for my readers, It’s not a popularity contest, I am here to help and share with you guys our experiences and knowledge as a photographer.

The aim is to post something once a week minimum, this maybe a look behind the scenes of one of my photo shoots, a tutorial, a review on a cool product or service, links and just for fun stuff.
