Hi there! Thanks for checking out my profile. I also have a website at www.nikbartram.co.uk

My full time day job is in the RAF, but my passion outside of work lies in photography.

I would describe the main direction of my work as artistic portraiture, combining controlled light, colour and accurate focusing to create portraits which draw inspiration from both the painted and photographic forms.

The other side to my photography is in Military Aviation, fed by my job and the opportunities it presents me. I'd be missing out on a large body of work if I didn't use the amazing places I visit and people I work with to document the things I see.

My kit is;

Canon EOS 5D MK II + Grip
Canon EOS 300V
Canon EF 70 - 200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens
Canon EF 24 - 105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens
Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens
Canon EF 70 - 300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens
Canon 580EX II Speedlite
Jessops 360AFD Flash (slave for fill)
Cokin ND Grad set + gray/white card
Polarising filter
Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod + 804RC2 head
Manfrotto Flash stand
Lowepro Primus AW bag
5-in-1 reflector
White shoot through and silver reflecting umbrellas
Seculine Twinlink radio triggers

Look out for new stuff all the time and please add me as a contact if you like my stuff! I'm always up for meeting new people!

Cheers,
Nik.
