SOUTH DEVON PHOTOGRAPHY AND TUITION

Secret Shutter

My name is Karyn Easton and I am a South West based commercial photographer and fine artist, living and working in Brixham (Devon). When not out with my camera or on a photography shoot, I can usually be found in the classroom of my local college, teaching DSLR photography and art.

Currently I am studying for an MA in 'Fine Art Digital' at Central Saint Martins College (London) and I have gradually moved my work from pure photography to conceptual art and digital work.

Torbay Airshow 2023

It has been a while since my last post – well over a year to be exact.  This is because I have been very busy working on my MA in ‘Fine Art Digital’.  I find myself becoming increasingly drawn towards Fine Art and the opportunities that it offers. However, I still enjoy working with my camera to capture special moments. Please find below a selection of my shots from this year.   Torbay Airshow

Torbay Airshow in Pictures 2022

Since my first Airshow back in June 2016 I have always wanted to shoot this event with a telephoto lens.  A few years ago I purchased a Sigma 150mm to 600mm Contemporary lens.  I can honestly say this lens did not disappoint!  Although, I was quite happy at the time with my images from 2016 the upgrade in lens has been phenomenal. I have included an image slider to visually show the difference between a 200mm and a 600mm lens.  Even though these aren’t shots of the same planes I think that the difference is easy to see. Again, the images below aren’t shots of the same planes but the difference is amazing!  As I explained in my original post from 2016, it is possible to produce a great set of images based on composition, creative photography and speed.  The use of the telephoto lens doesn’t negate any of this.  Indeed, using a telephoto lens has it’s own unique set of challenges especially when trying to frame up a fast moving object. The next comparison is quite a good one because it shows that close range detail can be captured with a 200mm lens.  However there is still a difference between […]

Interior Photography – Shooting a Devonshire Gem

One of my favourite forms of photography is interior photography. This could range from high end interiors for magazines like ‘Beautiful Homes’ or classic shots for property including holiday lets. I have worked for Meero and Airbnb, so I was really excited when asked to photograph the Devonshire gem below. The owner had spent quite some time paying attention to detail and had turned the cottage into a beautiful characterful holiday let. What particularly struck me was the beautiful light that streamed in through the upper bedroom windows. This is the reason that I chose to shoot in a bright and breezy style. This was in contrast to my last interior shoot where my style was very different but worked equally as well with the kind of property being shot. Both owners were a joy to work with. Indeed, much of the pleasure I gain from this type of work, is ensuring I produce the right ‘look’. The rules around interior photography are quite interesting. It can often take some time crafting each image and balancing out exposures between underexposed interiors versus bright windows can be challenging. Some shots need bracketing to ensure all sensor data is present. I won’t […]

Holiday Let shoot in Paignton, South Devon

Well it’s that time of year again when I find I have a little more time on my hands when I’m not teaching.  Therefore it’s always an opportune time for updating my blog and listing some of my favourite projects from the last few months.  My client asked me to refresh her holiday cottage images and below is a short compilation of some of my favourites. I am also including some stills.  It was an absolute pleasure working on this particular shoot as the lady who owns the property had a real eye for interior design and meticulous attention to detail. Architectural, property and interior photography are all services that I offer and please get in touch if you would like a quote. Here are some of the stills the from the project.  If you are looking for a fabulous holiday home then you can book this property here.

Goodbye 2021

Well what a year! I cannot believe the speed that 2021 came and went.  It was so busy that as usual I didn’t have much time for posting.  However I thought it was time to add a few of my favourite moments, starting with my trip to Paignton Zoo.  I had been promising myself for a long time that I would give my Sigma 150mm to 600mm telephoto lens an outing to the zoo.  I’m really glad that I did because one of my resulting images made the Fotospeed top four in their weekly competition!  It was quite an honour! Below is a video compilation of some of my favourite images from the shoot.  I’ve added some textures to the images to add some atmosphere but the rest was down to my trusty Sigma telephoto lens.

Creative Photography Channel

It’s been nearly a year since my last post.  This has largely been due to work commitments over the last few months.  What a strange few months it has been too? However as we slowly start to emerge from lockdown I have learned a number of new skills.  Being in temporary accommodation away from work and having to teach online I found producing YouTube videos quite useful as a teaching aid.  As I’m going back to face to face teaching now I’d like to share some of my videos with you all.  They are mostly aimed at little creative tips to help with any photography projects you might have.  I’m certainly no YouTuber but I hope that you might find some of my content useful. Lockdown has certainly taught me to become more resourceful with my shooting.  When you are stuck in one place and unable to go far then your creativity can suffer.  However it really doesn’t have to be that way.  Today’s modern DSLR cameras and even smartphones have so much to offer in terms of creative experimentation.  My central message here is to simply pick up your cameras and shoot!  With only a little experimentation it’s possible […]
