Portraits
Another mixed week that started with a portrait session at St. Andrews Church Hall in Church Aston, near Newport. I rent the hall for half a day, set up a full studio rig with lights and backdrops, and invite all and sundry to have their photos taken. Currently there's no charge for the sitting, and the customer gets a contact sheet with around 20-30 images to choose prints from.
This week I went for the plain white background that's currently in vogue, and was pleased with the results. I was looking to capture the energy and sheer joy that this threesome brought along, and I think I managed it with this shot.
Ellesmerian 125th Anniversary Ball, Ellesmere College
Saturday took me to the impressive surroundings of Ellesmere College, where the former pupils society had arranged a ball to commemorate their 125th Anniversary. It's a place steeped in history and tradition, and the evening was rounded off with the most impressive firework display I've seen in a long time.
Gracelands Equestrian Centre, Bromsgrove.
Now that the better weather is with us I'm starting to get more and more requests to attend equestrian events. This week's was at Gracelands near Bromsgrove wher a BSJA event was taking place.
This week I'm off to London to photograph the directors and managers of a large sports organisation, Birmingham University on Saturday for the annual Alumni Sports Day and another equestrian event on Sunday.
Let me know if you have any particular photographic requirements on 07855 741368, or on my new office number 01952 683681. I've now moved to a new office in Telford as I've outgrown my home office. I'm able to use rooms here for photography as well, so If you need photography in the Telford area and beyond then I'm your man.
