Celtic Energy Fueling Welsh Rugby

Celtic Energy's very own Tavis Knoyle has been selected to play for the Welsh under 20's rugby team to face Italy next week.

My brief today was to capture some shots of Tavis in his welsh kit and also of 3 of Celtic's employees are in their 40th year of employment, and were being presented with a gift for their years of service.

I have been lucky enough to shoot up at Onllwyn previously and the managers Keith and Paul are always very welcoming and helpful.

Anyway back to the shoot, I decided that I wanted to have some evidence of the washery in the background, but bring the emphasis back to the subject by lighting the subjects and dropping the ambient back a couple of stops.

I also wanted to make the portraits of Tavis a little more interesting by adding a bit of rim light and I also warmed up the light with a CTO gel. I also played around with the white balance to add a little colour to the overcast sky.

Tavis was a great subject, he was such a nice guy to work with a real pleasure and I wish him all the very best for his rugby career, and rest assured I will be watching next friday when they play the azzuri !
