Being such a huge Top Gear fan i was excited to meet and photograph one of the three amigos Mr Richard Hammond today. It was made even better by having the opportunity to go inside the infamous GCHQ offices in Cheltenham. Richard was there with the Severn Freewheelers who were receiving a blood bike bought for them by GCHQ.
With the arrival of this fantastic early summer weather it would be a shame to waste it. So today I left the comfort of my office and wandered off to create some lovely warm early summer images! I noticed this bench looking out into the distance with a vast open sky above and felt it was perfect for a dreamy, peaceful, thought provoking picture. I can imagine lots of people at one time or another have sat on the bench looking out into the distance deep in thought.
Another shot I found was of these lovely bright pink tulips. I wanted to create another sense of interest apart from the tulips so had fun creating this shot with lots of movement and colour.
I love taking portraits of people in their familiar surroundings. I always feel you get the best images when the subjects comfortable in what they're wearing and somewhere they're used to. I was recently commissioned to photograph a tailor at his office with the images scheduled to feature in a magazine.
Enjoyed a fun magazine shoot last night photographing Tim Perkin on Cleeve Hill, Cheltenham. Tim has bravely battled cancer and is amazingly now going to be running this years London marathon. A few running magazines were interested in Tims incredible story which should hopefully be in this months issues. Good luck Tim! A few examples of the shoot are below!
It's always enjoyable being asked to photograph school productions. The energy, thought and passion that was put into this specific production of The Great War was fantastic. The costumes that the students got to wear really helped them get into character and made for some interesting photographs.
I had a recent commission to photograph a local bar in Gloucestershire. It always amazes me how quick and easy making a cocktail is made to look by the experienced staff! Here's a few pics from the shoot. Please get in touch for all PR, Portrait and Wedding photography. :-)
Iceland - What an amazing country! It's certainly somewhere I would love to revisit. It reminded me of New Zealand with its rugged landscape. I took this shot on the way to view a geyser about 2 hours from the capital Reykjavik. The snow capped mountains in the distance really were stunning!
