A great opportunity for the stage!
Workington’s Amateur Operatic Society asked me to photograph the dress rehearsals of their Musical performances of Shrek and School of Rock. It was an honour to be involved with such a talented bunch of people. I know that can sound cliche however from the staff behind the scenes in costume, lighting and music through to the actors themselves it’s easy to see they all love each minute of being on stage.
A real estate shoot with UK Breaks
I was contacted by UK Breaks Ltd asking if I was available to shoot a property they recently took on for renovation – I was more than happy to help! The property comprised of individual flats over two floors and their photos were supplied within 24 hours of the shoot.
Dual dash camera fitting to a car
Thought you might like to see this, the fitting of a Vantrue S1 dual camera dash-cam to my 2019 Octavia vRS. It’s a kind of no-nonsense mini-guide and mini-review at the same time with some tips and pitfalls along the way.
Further commitment to better quality pictures
I’ve bought the new Canon 16-35mm f2.8L mk3 lens – a significant investment but one that’s necessary to have the best image quality available. As one of my favourite and most used lenses for all types of work no other manufacturer has a lens of this quality at this focal length. It’s truly an amazing lens!
Facebook and their right to use your pictures
A boost from new equipment!
I invested in some new top of the line equipment a little while ago now and I’m very pleased with the results I’ve been getting from the Canon 1DX mk2, 600EX II-RT flash and ST-E3-RT transmitter.
The new kit gives me greater flexibility in difficult conditions where others might struggle. This really is the best photography equipment on the market at the moment and I’m proud to be able to be using this in my work.
Helping to re-brand a local school
Aspatria’s Beacon Hill school are rebranding their material across the range, from their website to brochures to signage and they chose me to help them do it. It was a great opportunity to help a really nice school who have an emphasis on supporting the relationships between teachers and pupils. It was a privilege to be able to assist.
