Solutions Recruitment Meeting Rooms

Solutions Recruitment moved premises last autumn to The Yorkshire Chambers, a beautiful Victorian grade II listed building on Pilgrim Street in central Newcastle. As I regularly shoot portraits for the company’s ever growing team of 40+ staff they commissioned me for promotional imagery of the meeting rooms for general hire.

With a fresh new refurbishment retaining original features it was a spectacular piece of architecture to photograph. The images needed to illustrate the grandeur in a corporate context so I adjusted the camera to filter out the tungsten’s orange light giving the imagery a cool blue tone.

The company has also recently had a rebrand together with a website refresh so for anyone looking for impressive meeting spaces (or even considering a career move!) it might be worth looking at their website on this live link http://www.solrecruit.co.uk

Irwin Mitchell’s Office Views

You may remember seeing my smiley happy shots of Irwin Mitchell’s Xmas do at the People’s Theatre last year. This year the event was held at their brand new offices as they boast amazing views across Newcastle and they wanted to share it with their clients.

The views from their Gallowgate premises are absolutely spectacular and so I headed down as the sun set during the ‘magic hour’ when the sky is a piercing blue but low enough to see twinkling city lights. It was possible to spot favourite landmarks and buildings across the city centre and across to the Tyne Valley and beyond. The guests were in for a treat!

Arlo Bistro Cafe, Jesmond

Arlo Bistro cafe in Jesmond is a must if you live in Newcastle, love quirky and eclectic interior design and fresh, creative tasty menus. The super nice owners Susan and Lucas were portrait clients of mine a few years ago and came back to me with a well received request to capture atmospheric shots of their amazing new family run Bistro Cafe.

The interior design was completely up my street as you can see from my interiors page, I even spotted a few things on display I have in my own home, so it was really a creative treat to photograph! The sun shone for the outside regulars and the chefs were non stop! This is a busy, buzzy, friendly place that I would really recommend.

I am heading back this week to capture the gorgeous staff and some twinkly night time shots too, so look out for these and yummy food photography coming too! For more information on Arlo opening times, offers and menus please follow the link http://arlojesmond.com/

Glastonbury 2013, The Common Field, Setting up

Well WHERE DO I start? I am back in the studio today after shooting for a week at Glastonbury’s all night South East corner’s The Common field for their twitter and Facebook pages (managed by Telegraph Hill) for Producers Steve and Kerry! I have had hundreds of laughs, met hundreds of amazing workers, festival goers and celebs and now have hundreds of images to blog!

You may have seen my images released last week on The Common’s twitter  https://twitter.com/GlastoTheCommon or Facebook page links https://www.facebook.com/Glastothecommon but there will be a full weeks story going up on my blog for the next few days into next week. Keep an eye out for Opening Nights, The Invisible Circus, Tomato Fight, UV Paint Fight and Rudimental!

Lets start with the setting up, I arrived Monday and began shooting the construction on Tuesday & Wednesday of the 6 venues in The Common, The Rum Shack, The Temple, The Cave, The Lost Picture Show, Copper Dollar and Los Artistas. It was amazing seeing how much organisation went into this huge project and so hopefully these behind the scenes shots will give you some idea of the work that goes into this monster event!
