Too busy to blog...

It is because I'm too busy, honest. Not that I keep forgetting that I've actually got a blog....well a bit of both actually.

Lets see what i've been up to in the past few months ...

Wedding fairs (or fayres if you're that way inclined)

Pre-wedding shoots

Weddings (of course)

Fashion

Portraits

General admin (boo!!!)

So pictures paint a thousand words and all that so I'll leave you with some sample shots from all of the above.

See you in a few months!

More fashion....

Well Easter came and Easter went and thanks to the inventor of chocolate I have taken up jogging again....

But good fun was had at the Jolaby 'Injection Collection' shoot on Monday night. We had two models, Serena and Kelly, a top make up artist, Melanie Lenihan and Jo and Steven from Jolaby to make some great images. We even had Sarah Young from www.sy-models.co.uk come along to see how Kelly (who's one of her 'girls') was getting on.

So we made some great images ready to promote Jolaby's new collection.

All in a days work....

Resolutions - meh....

Hi,

Ok so the New Years Resolution went out of the window very early on. No blog posts at all in February! What happened to that month??

So anyway I had a great challenge the other week when Tracey Quinn brought in her two little monkeys (her words not mine!) and said that 'They're quite shy, you probably won't get them doing much'. Well let's see about then....I had them running around like, well, little monkey's in no time. It's not all about being able to use a camera you see....

I also displayed at a wedding fair at Cedar Court Wakefield. It was a good day, lots of people showing interest in my work and i'm now in the middle of organising consultations and taking bookings. I was also due to display at a fair at Tankersley Manor in Sheffield but the snow came down and stopped the fun. However it's been reorganised for May so if you're interested get in touch with them or myself and we'll give you the details!

I'm now getting excited about the Focus on Imaging show next week. It's the countries biggest photography show, where photographers go and drool over really expensive cameras and lenses and lights and frames and albums and studio equipment....well you get the picture. Must leave my credit card at home!

Speak soon

Happy New Year

Hi,

Here's the first post of 2010! I will tell you my first resolution. To do more blogging this year!! I'll try anyway.

Despite the snow I've managed to pull off the biggest and best shoot I've done yet. We had three hairdressers, a make up artist, three models and the team from Jolaby (who I was doing the shoot for). Even I had an assistant. Ooh get me! Oh yeah and about £20k of rented lights, cameras and lenses.

So we did some catalogue shots in the studio then went off to sunny Sheffield for some location photography. The models were amazing. It was sub zero and they were wearing summer clothes. As soon as their coats came off they started shivering. And yet they still struck their poses when asked everytime. And how much complaining did I hear. Nothing. Awesome job ladies. Here are some samples. Go to www.jolaby.co.uk and you'll see more when they've put their new seasons clothes up.

Here's to a great 2010, from my point of view it's looking good so far!
