Fine Art Photography - Day at the Seaside!

I am trying to do at least one personal project a month, so February seemed like a good time for a day trip to the seaside! After the snow from the week before, I couldn't believe the weather was so warm (had lunch on the beach!).  I love taking photos in Brighton, especially when you get such a perfect sunset over West Pier. Here are my favourite shots of the day.

Fine Art Exhibition at the Architects Gallery, Teddington

I was very pleased to be selected by the brand new Architects Gallery in Teddington to show some of my Fine Art photography.  The exhibition opened yesterday and runs until the end of March.  I would thoroughly recommend a visit to this beautiful gallery if you are in the area.  Details are at www.thearchitectsgallery.com .

These are the images I am exhibiting:-

Snow on Twickenham Green!

I was thinking last week how nice it would be to have some snowy photographs for my photo essay of Twickenham Green, so was excited enough to get up early yesterday to take some photographs. I was glad to get these shots, as around half an hour later the Green was filled with ecstatic kids building snowmen!

This is Cole, my black Labrador, who was a little bemused by all the white stuff. However, it wasn't long before he was having a great time chasing snowballs and stealing snowmen's arms!  

Clandon Park Wedding Photography

I had a great time on Saturday at the fabulous Clandon Park in Surrey www.clandonpark.co.uk , where I am recommended as a Wedding Photographer.  I was there to meet with Vicky and Andrew whose wedding I'm photographing at the end of next month.  We had some fun with their pre-wedding shoot, although all three of us were freezing, I'm really hoping it'll be warmer on their wedding day!  Here are a few of my favourites from the shoot.

p.s.  For any interested film buffs, Clandon Park was recently used to film scenes in The Duchess in which Kiera Knightly stars...

Twickenham Green Photographs

New Years Resolution - I MUST KEEP MY BLOG UP TO DATE!

Twickenham Green is very close to my heart as I walk my dog there most days.  I took some photographs there in the Autumn which I exhibited at the Landmark Art Fair. Another foggy day and here are some more images.  I am thinking of completing a photo essay of year round images of the Green as it changes so much each season. Watch this space!

Fine Art Photography Exhibition - Landmark Arts Centre

I am very excited that I will be exhibiting my new Fine Art Photography collection at the Landmark Arts Centre, Autumn Art Fair next week. The fair is open Saturday 18th October and Sunday 19th October 10-5pm, with a private view (of all the artists work) on Friday 17th, 6pm-9pm.  If you would like to attend the private view please let me know and I will send you a free ticket.

Over 70 artists and designers will be there, selling a wide range of contemporary work including Fine Art, photography, ceramics, sculpture, glass and jewellery.  So well worth a visit!

Great Fosters Wedding - Olly & Claire

We had great day for Claire and Olly's wedding at Great Fosters www.greatfosters.co.uk .  Not a drop of rain and such a lovely couple who really made us feel part of their special day.  Hope you are having a great honeymoon guys, here is a sneak peek of some of our favourite images from the day!

Claire's hair and make up looked fabulous.  It was done by the highly recommended Antonia at Elle Au Naturel Beauty www.elleaunaturelbeauty.com/

Dog Photography Training Day

Keeping up to date with training is always important and last week I attended a dog photography day organised and run by Nick Ridley www.nickridley.com, which was not only great fun but extremely informative.  It made me realise how hard it is to photograph a dog moving at great speed and after taking many shots of tails disappearing out of the frame I think I finally mastered it!  These are some of the images from the day.

More Flower Photography

I am planning on entering Garden Photographer of the Year, having visited Kew Gardens to view this years winning images (which are fantastic and well worth a visit).  I really love visiting gardens like Kew and Wisley these days, definately a sign the big 4 0 is looming! Anyway, here are my latest flower and plant photographs.

Cute Puppy Photographs!

And they say you should never photograph children and animals.  Well recently I photographed twenty 2-4 year olds at their nursery (all absolute stars!), then this sweet little puppy who was good as gold.  I love photographing dogs, especially when they are this cute.  If you would like a pet portrait session I would love to hear from you!
