Summing it all up in a photo - Lomax and Skinner, Milliners

Lomax and Skinner (makers of exquisite hats) were at Pelham House's wedding event in Lewes today.

F8, 17mm, one twentieth of a second, ISO 1250

The natural light brings out the subtle shapes and textures in the hats but the wide angle aspect gives energy and drama to what might have been simply a pretty, but fairly static, display shot

I think people are always curious to see what artists look like so shots like the one above make a connection between the work and the person. It's satisfying
