Starlings | Lighthouses | Cliffs

The past week I’ve been shooting imagery in the charming county of Caithness in the far north of Scotland.
As with much of my work at the moment, I am unable to show imagery of the actual shoot. However, I am delighted to share with you some photographs from the area.
During some down time I headed out with the camera one afternoon & evening and captured these rather emotive images. Including watching starlings put on a rather impressive show.

It’s always nice to stay somewhere different, rather than another bland hotel room in some non descriptive building.

A Wonderful Talk in Woodbridge

Last week I gave another talk about the wonderful project #Giveachildacamera and the latest developments from V4 in 2019, to a wonderful group of people in Woodbridge.

Already, the months have flown by since the last visit, but the images remain a constant reminder of the progress the project has made and more importantly the progress some of the children have made.

V5 is due to happen in 2020 – check out www.giveachildacamera.co.uk for more information and to donate to this project.

Surrender – who I have worked with previously, shot some utterly amazing work – one of her portraits is below.
She is just about to go to secondary school, to study further, having achieved some excellent P7 results – she is a bright child and I hope will flourish.

I have been told her family are looking for funds to allow her to fulfill her potential.

Early start pays dividends

Occasionally, an early start to a shoot pays dividends. On the way to a shoot in Ely this week, my journey took me on some delightful roads between Downham Market & Ely.
On one of the B roads, I came across this delightful scene.

Just before sunrise, I lumped the 4×4 onto a verge and shot a few frames – The sheep soon ran away, so I sat it out for 20-30 mins and eventually they returned, getting used to the shivering photographer in smart shoes, mud on the jeans and a funny bobble hat! I managed to shoot a couple of further frames with the 24mm and finally got the one I wanted.

A truly great way to start the day

Shooting for a Superb Local Charity

I’m always incredibly proud when my work appears in print, on websites and on advertising collateral.
No matter if it’s a small company or large corporate, the fact that they trust you to supply wonderful imagery and uphold their high standards is testament to the hard work I put into each and every shoot.

I’ve been working with the BigC Cancer Charity in Norfolk for a few years, often seeing my work on the side of buses, in print or on big advertising pitches throughout the region.
Last week the charity launched their Online Support Centre website – using a lot of my imagery.
The website has been a key development in the charity and is a great online platform/information portal.

if you only support one charity, consider a local one!

Fabulous Cambridge Office Space

A recent visit to my second home, Cambridge, saw me shooting images for one of my lovely regular clients.

Beautiful colours, bright rooms and fabulous offices… this isn’t your normal business centre.

Back to Medical Imagery

I was back to my roots a few months ago (having previously worked as a medical photographer) at a lovely health centre in the midlands, shooting images for the medical press.

A great couple of days shooting, working with some of the many committed and passionate NHS employees.

Dame Esther Rantzen | AUC Patron

Recently I was in Central London photographing the Age UK Camden AGM, which was attended by Dame Esther Rantzen, who is AUC Patron.
An enjoyable, and lively AGM.

Sonrisa Workshop in Cambridge

Part of a Fabulous shoot in Cambridgeshire, as part of a regional music platform.
Visiting a few colleges and academies, I had pleasure watching professional musicians come into the classroom, working with young people to create inspirational pieces of music that were later performed to a wider audience.

The arts are so culturally important and thankfully funding from some government, EU and private sectors enables these programs to continue, which in turn help empower and develop young people.

Lovely Corporate Shoot in Norwich

Alan Boswell Group Insurance. Photoshoot September 2019

Using lots of natural light, a couple of small strobes and some wonderful colourful wall space, it was a joy capturing images of the Alan Boswell Group and their happy staff.

 

A great bunch of people to work with in a super office space.
