Heidi and David pre Wedding shoot

After a miserable week on the weather front, it came good for us to be able to get out and have a bit of fun in the sunshine to take some pictures of Heidi and David on their pre-Wedding shoot and discussion.  With only 5 weeks to go to the big day, all the plans are coming together nicely, lets hope the weather is kind to us on that day as well.  I look forward to capturing your Wedding and thanks for being great fun today!

Photovision Roadshow Southampton

Yesterday I attended the Photovision Roadshow in Southampton, it was held at a rather washed out Ageas Bowl Cricket Ground venue.  There were a number of trade show stands there, as well as the opportunity to watch a few free Seminars by Mark Cleghorn and Damien Lovegrove amongst others.  Both of these guys gave great talks; you've got to love Mark's enthusiasm for photography and his willingness to share, Damiens images were simply stunning, I particularly loved his Black and White work.  The other great purpose of these events is to catch up with friends and meet new ones and of course trying not to be tempted to buy from the trade show stands there, look but don't touch until you've done your homework.

Portrait shoot with a difference

Over a month ago now, I did a Portrait shoot with a difference.  As part of my Studio promotion work, I gave out some vouchers that entitled the lucky individuals the opportunity to have a complimentary Portrait session with me.  One of my work colleagues and her Husband are both Petrol heads and also camera shy, she asked if instead of taking pictures of them, could I take photos of their car?  Well knowing what car they have, I was very interested and excited in the challenge to capture such a different subject.

The car in question is a TVR Sagaris and we were fortunate with the weather and the location, which was near Goodwood race circuit.  The paint is a Chameleon type and what was surprising was the range of colours displayed in the glorious sunshine, particularly as the light wraps around the unique shapes and form of the vehicle.  The best part by far though, was the fact that I got driven there and back in the car and I can say it was an awesome experience; the pictures turned out pretty good too!
