Corporate Photo Shoot

Thursday least week I spent some time with a bunch of people who work for a company called HRworkbench, based over in Reading to take a series of ‘corporate’ style shots that are to be used on their newly designed website amongst other things. I’m guessing we spent around 3 hours or so taking some portrait shots aswell as more complex group shots using a number of ‘off camera’ flashes.

All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable time spent with a really nice group of people who seem to have great fun working together.

Weddings 2008 Video …

Hi All,

I’ve been working on updating my main website lately and am now looking at adding in a few videos; some showing a selection of photographs and a couple showing me out on a photo shoot. I guess the reason behind this is so that visitors to the site will get a chance to see what I’m like and how I work, which is real important when it comes to choosing a photographer … especially if it’s to photograph a wedding. ( Hmmm thinking about it … is that such a good idea LOL )

Anyway, here’s a selection of photographs from recent Weddings that I’ve put together into a video to give you a taster of what’s to come.

Enjoy

Govind Vekaria - Nice to see most of my favourites (from your blog) in your video and some new ones too.

Just Chillin’

Here are some photos from a shoot the other day continuing with the ‘moody’ lighting theme I’ve been using lately. These particular shots are of a guy by the name of Graham Herbert who plays the trumpet in several jazz bands that appear at venues across the UK.

There’s nothing quite like having live music playing whilst taking portrait photos … I really should start demanding it at every photo shoot…LOL

Windsor meets The Matrix

Hanging around in a filthy underground car park with the resident tramps arguing in the distance, cars racing round and nearly wiping you up and taking evasive action from all the pidgeons seemingly ‘aiming for you’ maybe isn’t the kind of place you want to be at the best of times … but that’s exactly where I found myself yesterday on a photo shoot.

The idea behind yesterdsays shoot was to give the photos some real ‘atmosphere’ so that they could be used for CD artwork etc … so what better place than an underground car park … especially when the person you’re photographing is wearing a £400+ leather coat.

The model / subject was a guy by the name of Vince Callaghan who maybe wasn’t expecting to be in such a ‘nice’ place … but when he told me he’d be wearing a long leather coat like Keanu Reeves in the film The Matrix ……. well you see, it’s all about the location … atleast that’s what I kept telling him anyway.
