AM Live Music – String Quartet Website Imagery

/0 Comments/in /by

Last week I was lucky enough to be serenaded by a fantastic, classically trained string quartet, harpist, flautist and singer as I worked. I was commission to create some contemporary imagery for the new website for the AM Live Music as they no longer wanted to be misunderstood as fusty and stuffy and wanted a fresh, young new image.

So for this I decided to use my studio as a naturally lit location using the church window to create atmosphere and the white walls to contrast with the instruments and black clothing.

The wooden floorboards warmed up the images (as did the gorgeous ladies with red lipstick!) and gave a new dimension compared to that of my studio backdrop. Using natural light was a challenge when the sun went in and a black cloud storm passed over but the results were fantastic. Below are a few headers suggested for the home page….

Pic of the day @ Shepherds Dene, Riding Mill

/0 Comments/in /by

Today I have been at the magical Shepherds Dene arts house and gardens at Riding Mill, Northumberland. Images of the labyrinth were required to add to the images I have recently been capturing for the new brochure.

This place has real sentiment to me as it was where my dad was volunteering when he sadly passed away in May. He sculpted much of the tree trunks that are now seats in the ‘Friends Garden’ and was about to start building the river side path that will now be built with the in memory donations.

Anyone who hasn’t checked this place out, its a great little hidden gem and has b&b, meeting rooms and walks. More pics will be uploaded here once the brochure is complete.

Heineken’s Pub Life shoot for ND Creative

/0 Comments/in /by

This week I have travelled to shoot in Edinburgh, Manchester, Selby and Harrogate for various Heineken UK briefs commissioned by ND Creative. I have clocked up some serious mileage!

This shoot was to illustrate an article about a refurb of Churchill’s pub in the vibrant gay district of central Manchester. It boasted an eclectic mix of Gothic metal features, disco lights and high ceilings. It had dark nooks and bright seated areas, providing for lunch meetings by day and drag acts by night. I was gutted I couldn’t have stayed and checked out the entertainments but the M1 was calling…… maybe next time..
