Holiday Cottage Stills Shoot in the North Lakes

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.

Getting the Office ready for Christmas

Nothing like getting ready for Christmas...!

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...

Suzuki Hayabusa

Only in Japan... a fully Chromed Up Suzuki Hayabusa, parked up in the outskirts of Tokyo. 

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. 

Food Shoot for Wilf's Cafe at Staveley

Just prior to the bridge at Staveley being re-opened following the storms in 2015, we spent a day with Wilf and Charlotte taking pictures of their large variety of food dishes on offer.
