Read MoreThe argument; live from London’s club scene
Essex Strobist went to town in Club Live in Vauxhall. The club was VERY dark, but handheld long exposures supported by flash (and a torch to help the auto focus system) turned the darkness into a feature of this visual short story of a young couple's argument in a London night club.
Read MoreLow key portrait of dad
I have plenty of snapshots of my dad, but no portraits. So when he came to visit for Christmas, we went out to rectify that situation.
