I was commissioned to shoot a visit by the COP26 UN climate change president Alok Sharma who was visiting Whitelees Wind Farm just outside Glasgow for the forthcoming COP21 – Glasgow Climate Change Conference.

I’ve been to Whitelees before and as you would expect for a wind farm is a baron wind swept wilderness even in May!

So decided to get there early and reccie potential locations, as usual you don’t get much time with your subject, and he was doing a live broadcast for C4.

So I set up at the edge of the car park so El Presidente didn’t need to walk to far for his picture…

Very happy with the shot I got and Mr Sharma was very accommodating.

For all those who keep asking for the tech details of my images here you go-

Nikon 4s 24-70mm f2.8 lens – one godoxAD600 flash to the left

ISO: 100,aperture: 7.1, Shutter: 1/250 lens at 24mm shot on raw.

And a big thanks to Whitelees Wind Farm Visitors Centre cafe for keeping us going with coffee and cake.
