Mollie King all smiles but the camera is not having it?




Mollie King of the Saturdays leaving BBC Radio 1 in Central London followed by Vanessa White and Rochelle Humes (eyes down) . I think there is five of them in the Girl Group Frankie Bridge, Vanessa white, Una Healy, Rochelle Humes and of course the blonde one Mollie King. 

It's a big smile from Mollie and plenty of eye contact, it's a winner BUT??? what's happened here then? Apart from being over exposed (white is a tricky one to capture with manual flash) we are back on the damned autofocus not liking this smiling blonde woman and instead is focusing on the two behind her who are partially obscured??



Doesn't look that bad at normal viewing but blow it up to the uber critical 200% which was what the media and pcture editors will do and it is way off the mark. You almost wish you could hit the replay button like in a video and take the shot again but unfortunately there is no Take 2 in this game. If you didn't get it .....then you didn't get it. 

Maybe the latest photoshop with AI can sort it out ( I haven't tried) but HELP YOURSELF a freebie of a smiling blurred woman called  Mollie King looking very fetching in a blown out white number.

I think I have photographed her a couple of other times both at the Pride of Britain Awards but different years. One shot was within kissing distance her head and shoulders filling the whole frame. The other more full length and further away. Both of those are in focus, full on eye contact........ nothing wrong whatsoever.

You live and learn? Get better photos than this (much better) over at the new Frank John Blog at the Frank John main website. But if you do love these photo disasters then stick around as there are plenty more where this one came from.

Anna Wintour Out of Focus at London Fashion Week 2014. London Celebrity Photographer Behind the Scenes

INTRODUCTION: Anna Wintour at LFW Monday 15 Sept 2014 according to the EXIF. Another Behind the Scenes look at the world of being a Celebrity Photographer in London. It's not all Rainbows and Unicorns? There is a saying in photographic circles which I keep repeating and that is "Always show your best work". I agree, BUT I'm at the other end of the spectrum. Yes show your best work on your portfolio site (mine is frankjohn.com ) for sure, but show your mess ups somewhere else. I think that is very important! That's how you learn, by learning from your mistakes. It takes many bad pictures to arrive at a good one.......even the Masters are subject to this same photographic law of numbers. WHAT? So what have we here?  This is another "Houston We Have a PROBLEM" photo this time involving Anna Wintour at LFW (London Fashion Week). Yes another extremely annoying photo destined for the Recycle Bin. No Range Rovers in the way as with the previous post featuring K...

Sarah Harding Paparazzi Photo Shoot Archive Raw Video

  A Behind the scenes video of Sarah Harding arriving at BBC Radio 1 in Central London on 8 September 2014. A Paparazzi Photo Shoot Video RAW and unedited probably 360p quality under my former website FameFad. Unfortunately Sarah is no longer with us as of Sept 2021 BBC headline .......so this is a video tribute to Sarah Harding. R.I.P Further Details: A video shot by myself whilst in the middle of a crowd of Paparazzi. About 10 or 15 if I remember correctly? Can't remember if I was just filming or whether the video (a bridge camera) was bolted onto the camera rig and taking photos at the same time.. If it was, the shots are somewhere buried on a hard drive, where is the question. If they are found then they will appear alongside this video. This video footage is a constant reminder that you are taking photos or filming real people here and they are subjected to the same natural laws and highs and lows of life as everybody else. This video shoot is just a typi...

Khloe Kardashian outside the Langham Hotel BUT Houston "We have a Problem?"

A behind the photo/lens behind the scenes look at Khloe Kardashian straight over from LA arriving at The Langham Hotel in Central London. Archive Photo buried on a hard drive taken 14 Nov 2013.  A sort of hotel surveillance session from some insider info that I became increasingly involved with in the mid to later years of being a Celebrity Photographer.. Remember it being pretty cold. She's looking good, nice smile, wearing aviator shades...not a problem, hair looks great, she's looking in our direction and posing up which helps.....interesting scene with some hotel concierge adding a bit of a story and context to the photo BUT we have some problems here? 1. The vehicle she turned up in (huge Range Rover not the Sport variety) is in the way. Normally the driver drops the person off and drives off but the driver is just staying put and stopping us getting any full length shots for some reason. I think there was about a dozen of us behind some barriers they put up...a sort of ph...
