Give a Child a Camera | Norwich Exhibition

Really excited to announce the next Give a Child a Camera exhibition is being shown at the wonderful Playhouse in Norwich this autumn.

Visit the Playhouse between the 30th October to 1st December and witness first hand a selection of wonderfully emotive images that the children, taking part in the project in Southwest Uganda shot during the month-long workshops this year.

A chance to gain a true insight into the lives of children living in a border town in East Africa, as they use photography to document their lives.

Event Photography at Somerleyton Hall

Friday night Somerleyton Hall played host to Shell, who held their 50 year Bacton celebration in the wonderful grounds of the Suffolk Estate.

The lighting throughout the gardens was particularly impressive. A pleasure to photograph in such opulent surroundings.

Early evening at Tower Hill

This may not be the most original photograph I’ve ever taken… but I couldn’t resist shooting an early evening image last week, when presented with a view like this.

I was on a corporate shoot in London and the roof terrace had a simply stunning view of London, especially on a nice mild autumn night.

Norwich Market | Shoot Two

Here is the second installment from my shoot on Norwich Market earlier this year for one of my clients.

The first set of images received such a good reception, that I’ve decided to showcase another set of images from the amazing local market, featuring stall holders, produce and a couple of market views – I hope you enjoy the images – as previously mentioned, I thoroughly enjoyed spending time on the market, getting to know both stall holders and customers.

From a 70p cuppa, fine roasted coffee, delicious handmade treats, flavorsome sausages, finished with beautiful floral bouquets – what more could you ask for from your amazing local market…? oh, and don’t forget you can still get your vacuum cleaner repaired (spare the landfill!)

The People | The Food | Norwich Market

Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to be asked by a client to shoot a range of imagery of Norwich market.

I often use the market when I’m in the city, but it wasn’t until i spent hours upon hours within the maze of stalls that I truly ‘got it’… the wonderful food, friendly nature of the stall holders, unique produce and great community.

I indulged my need for exciting & creative food, wonderful freshly roasted coffee and sublime cakes – oh what a treat this was!

The highlight – there were so many, too many to mention – a real gem of Norfolk.

A few images to follow in the coming weeks….

On the Broads… Just Relax

After an enjoyable shoot in Hoveton this morning, a quick stop in Wroxham for lunch and a chance to shoot a couple of slightly abstract Broads view.

Beautiful Wedding at the Boathouse | Norfolk

Couples getting married at the moment are truly blessed with wonderful weather!
At the end of June Becky & Sam had their wonderful wedding at The Boat House on a baking hot day with wonderful deep blue sky!

A truly lovely day spent by the river in a celebration with their friends & family.

Celebrate Norfolk Day…..

To celebrate Norfolk Day, I thought it was rather suitable for me to share a photograph that I took nearly 14 years ago of Eric Edwards who could quite happily be described as ‘Mr Norfolk’.

 

This photograph was taken using my beloved Hasselblad 500cm using Fuji Provia. I was an aspiring freelancer at the time, trying to cut my teeth in the world of photography.

 

I was lucky enough to work with Eric for 18 months, I would regularly visit him at How Hill and spend the day in his company, listening to stories and relishing the opportunity to be with a true Norfolk legend.

I created a really intimate body of work and in many ways these images helped to launch my freelance career.

 

Thank you Eric and rest in peace (Eric sadly passed away in 2012)
