A nice little last minute pre-Christmas stills shoot for a holiday cottage company in the North Lakes. A lovely little gem, hidden away under the towering shadow of Skiddaw.

Glowing in the Dark

One of the many challenges we faced this year was to shoot a collection of glow in the dark educational resource products for a local company here in the Lake District.

It was certainly an interesting day's shoot and a lot of post production grading and painting was required to finish the images to print standard.

A big thank you too to our star model who behaved wonderfully well and did everything asked of her, even at the end of the day when she was tired..!

Singapore Sling at Raffles Hotel

You actually can't get a Singapore Sling at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel just now as they are refurbishing. It's a great little corner of old Colonial greatness though.

The challenge of shooting luminescent 'Glow in the Dark' products.

Sensory, luminescent, 'Glow in the Dark' products certainly make for a challenging photo shoot. It's not so much about how to light, as how NOT to light.

This little test shoot for Wigton based educational resources company Twoey was certainly a bit of fun...

Japanese Open Tennis in Toyko

More tennis this month out in Toyko, Japan this time. A mixture of heat, rain and humidity. 































Rogers Cup in Toronto

The last time I was in Toronto was in 1996 at the start of a huge 2000 mile road trip. 

This time it was for work, painting pictures for the WTA for the Rogers Cup Tennis Tournament.
