Ernest Launch Night in the Ouseburn Newcastle

/0 Comments/in /by

Yum Yum, well that pretty much sums up the interior, the food, the drinks and the delightful service from those fab folk at Ernest eatery in Newcastle. The launch night attracted those who were inquisitive and full of anticipation and tickets were limited. It was a relaxed and fun evening with a gorgeous spread of complimentary ‘tasters’ and beautiful cocktails amongst a comfortable interior that has a unique warm glow.

I captured the evening in a colourful style to reflect the atmosphere of the venue and various groups of happy guests. Its well worth a visit whether you are gagging for a coffee fix by day (fantastic coffee provided by the Ouseburn Coffee Company at http://ouseburncoffee.wordpress.com/) or a slap up meal in the eve (amazing chef Ross will delight your tastebuds!) you won’t be disappointed!

More! Magazine’s Street Style in Newcastle upon Tyne

/0 Comments/in /by

I recently shot for the weekly publication More! Magazine, scanning the streets of central Newcastle looking for girls rocking a laid back summer style. Working with More! Fashion Intern Daisy, we approached many lovely ladies and captured their street style in the blazing hot  sunshine! Some were photographed having just rolled out of bed in their town centre homes to pop to the shops with no make up and a ‘thrown on’ outfit. So watch out you stylish ladies of Newcastle, we might be approaching you very soon!

Komatsu UK is 25 Years Old!

/0 Comments/in /by

So 25 years ago in 1987 Prince Charles opened Komatsu UK in Birtley. Staff celebrated in style with the whole work force in excess of of 400, the BBC TV, Tyne Tees TV, R&B Group (and me!) all in one room!

After press interviews outside in the rain there was a lunch and a factory tour for key figures. Later there were speakers to all who work at Komatsu UK, by Mick Henry, The Leader of Gateshead Council and Peter Howe, Komatsu UK MD and Chairman of Komatsu Europe. The workers looked really proud and very happy to work there which made it easy to capture the big moments and the smaller ones too!

Happy Birthday Komatsu UK!

Komatsu Shots for Product Brochures

/0 Comments/in /by

A few months back I created a few sets of images for the various Komatsu machines that needed new photography. I was shooting on the Uk site in Birtley and on the agenda was a bulldozer, a dumper truck and a huge crawler excavator, so big it has a 6ft bucket!

I had a go driving each one after the shots were completed! Obviously. Digging a hole in the ground with an excavator, driving at a 90 degree angle to the ground on a muddy hill and transporting several tons of earth about in a truck is unbelievably exciting! Yep I am a machine nerd and an adrenaline junkie! (Don’t even get me started on how exciting I find the factory production lines… pics to come!)

And just for fun, to get a feel of how big the PC700 is see how small I look in the bucket! These beautiful machines are BEASTS!!!!

Caledonian Brewery Cask Ale ‘Hero’ Photography

/0 Comments/in /by

Well Monday entailed yet another sunny afternoon spent in a pub! But not guzzling pints, just making them look pretty! Caledonian had asked ND Creative to add some hero shots to the Cask Ale document they were designing. So I went to a fab little pub in Ponteland to elbow the locals out of the way at the bar and get the shots that make your mouth water.
