We are moving House, Studio and Businesses!
27 years of living in Kingston upon Thames comes to an end.
After 27 years of living and working in The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames in London, Jo and I are moving our lives and businesses elsewhere.
In late July ’22 we will be moving to the beautiful Surrey Hills.
The Royal Oak – Richmond Park – A stormy glimpse of an ancient friend.
Jo and I try to walk in Richmond Park as often as we can. Last Sunday afternoon there was changeable weather over the park and I was rewarded with this shot of the Royal Oak.
For those of you not from the United Kingdom. Richmond Park is a natural park:
“Richmond Park is London’s largest Royal Park and the largest urban park in Europe, covering an area of 2,500 acres. It is a National Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, of both national and international importance for wildlife conservation.”
New for Twenty Two, Toucan Hill – James & Catherine on the mirador at Toucan Hill – Some shots are simply lovely. This romantic shot of James & Catherine is one of them. I shot this during a nine day shoot for Toucan Hill, a house on Mustique that is available to rent. It was shot for their website but never used.
Top Ten things you do not need to worry about…
When starting out on your journey as a photographer there are many things that others pitch to you as worth worrying about. Most of these are received wisdom and hearsay and can be totally ignored. This article is some friendly advice from an wise old snapper.
I have taken the time to list the top ten things about which new photographers need not worry…
Striding out towards an artistic future
I recently did a portrait session with Lou Collins an up and coming artist. She paints beautiful textured nudes using punchy colours and translucent materials. The works are both exciting and vibrant. You can print from her website at: https://www.wildat-art.com/
We had some fun with this shot and Lou looks great in her Loubitans with the wind machine at full tilt.
Recently I have been posting my images to International Photography Groups on social media. I have been building my online profile as a professional photographer, and helping newbies with their work, and in doing so I have picked up few international awards for my work, this was a little unexpected
Checkmate – Shooting the brief
Catherine – after Faye Dunaway – The Thomas Crown Affair
Those of us of a certain age will immediately recognise the inspiration for this image.
Of course, it is inspired by the legendary “chess scene” from The original “The Thomas Crown Affair”…
Providing Cover for Sarah McCoy’s New Book – I just received notice from Alamy, my image library that one of my shots from my Mustique collection has been used on the cover of Sarah McCoy’s new novel, published by Harper Collins.
Rendezvous – A blast from the past! A short Film for Theo Fennell.
The video project happened over two days. Clearly, there were many weeks of post production after this. The first day was shot on location in Pelham Place, Chelsea, just outside the Theo Fennell flagship store.
The second day was at Holborn studios in London, where we shots the interiors and the optical components of the special effects shots.
The cameraman was Simon Clapham. A superb technician…
Shooting silhouettes in the pool – Toucan Hill – Mustique
So here’s a funny story…
t took 1.5 hours to tie off the studio flash unit with cords to the building, to make sure that it didn’t fall in to the pool…
The Confetti Shot – Toucan Hill – Mustique
Recently, I have been archiving some historic files from previous shoots.
When doing this I am often distracted with images and shots that took me a while to work up. This shot is one of them.
It was part of a very large shoot for a Villa on the Island of Mustique. This frame is one of twelve that went on to become a stop motion animation of the confetti throw.
