The Kenilworth Hotel & Ru Bar, Jesmond, Newcastle

The Keniworth Hotel and Ru Bar were hit by the dreadful  North East floods last year and so have recently had a refurbishment. New images of the interiors were required to drum up business through their internet promotion.

Its a quirky and interesting victorian building with super friendly staff and cosy feel. It was a joy to meet the family who run it and was a lovely relaxed job. There were bags of shots from the day I spent there but there are a few which I felt reflected it’s character best. For anyone wanting to find out more or book, go to the Late Rooms website on http://www.laterooms.com/en/hotel-reservations/149576_kenilworth-hotel-newcastle-upon-tyne.aspx

More! Magazine’s Christmas in Newcastle

In the freezing cold last week Sam Sparks, my new assistant (cool name eh?) and I went in search of festive photography in Newcastle city centre. The brief from More! magazine was to find, ladies shopping between 18 & 25 and general shots of the Christmas markets & lights and picturesque areas of the town centre.

Despite the hurdles of ugly regeneration scaffolding at every turn and frozen fingers, so numb I found it difficult to control the camera, we captured some lovely sparkly Christmassy images. The issue is out this week and features a mix of my images with readers one too, including a truly hideous one my daughter Daisy supplied of us looking crazy with a snowman- thanks Daisy. Its clearly not always fab having a daughter working in publishing.

AXA Healthcare Campaign

You may have recently seen the AXA Healthcare campaign on Channel 4, launched by digital agency Realise this month featuring the specialist cancer care staff from Bushtree Cancer Hospital in Elstree.

It was my role to capture portraits of the staff on location during the filming of the documentary style interviews. These images accompany those by portrait photographer Alex Telfer who created the powerful hero portraits that head the campaign.

It was incredibly eye-opening working with these people in this environment. You can view my images of these inspiring people on the homepage of the AXA Healthcare website at http://www.axappphealthcare.co.uk/

The Realise Group http://www.realise.com/ have beautifully executed this by bringing increased awareness to the ‘Stand up to Cancer’ campaign. For anyone who is affected by cancer, it’s worth a quick online visit this week as there is support and advice offered via live on line chats with the hospital staff.

Coastal Photography, Newcastle upon Tyne for Kidd & Spoor Solicitors

I couldn’t believe my luck with the weather as I travelled down the North East’s favourite stretch of coastline from St Mary’s lighthouse to King Edwards Bay particularly with last weeks wash out. These are the second set of images to go with the earlier set of the Law Courts for Kidd & Spoor Law’s website.

Spanish City looked almost Riviera and the North Sea looked Icelandic! It made me feel rather proud to have this beauty and colour on our doorstep…
