British Bulldog Pet Portraits

/0 Comments/in /by

This was a fab pet portrait shoot of British Bulldog at the studio! Benjy was brought into Newcastle after a grooming session to have his pictures taken by his owner Chris. He was commissioning me to capture a large print for his girlfriend as a surprise birthday gift.

Benjy was a fabulous subject as even thought he was a bit over excited on arrival and fast movement is always the challenge with pet photography, he was fairly static towards the end so I could get really close to his face with my macro lens. The brief was for a black backdrop however spot lit shots were challenging as it was difficult to get catch lights inside those incredible folds! So softer wider lighting worked better.

For anyone wanting to photograph a bulldog, make sure you work hard at the lighting as it will enhance the details of the face, fur and whiskers. It’s also important to capture their gentle expressions as sometimes they can look cross when they are just inquisitive. Be prepared for some hard editing needed and to work with the owner on which photos show their personality best.

Any pet owners wanting to capture their pet in photos do please drop me a line for pricing or visit my prices page for packages; http://www.sarahdeanephotography.co.uk/portrait-packages/

Star Pubs & Bars, The Four Horseshoes, Surrey

This pub had been empty for ages and situated in a little village on the green it was a fantastic opportunity for a new lessee and a creative modern refurb.

The interior was stuffed with vintage goods collected in charity shops and boot fairs. there were old leather briefcases attached to walls holding newspapers & magazines, a stacked suitcase feature and dangling vintage lamp shades. The pub felt full of colour and texture and warmth!  The whole place was made perfect by the amazing food & drink and of course the super smiley staff!

After my jaunt to Glasgow in Autumn last year to shoot the Butchershop Bar & Grill, the following week took me south to Merseyside, Nottingham, Bristol. This is a selection of images taken at the three pubs I was briefed to visit. They were all for articles highlighting food offerings, refurbishments, friendly staff, coffee and ‘Hero’ shots of the brands with pub grub.

If you own a bar and need promotional photography for marketing, website or press hopefully you will see the diversity of images that can capture the personality of your bar or pub.

Star Pubs & Bars, Butchershop Bar & Grill, Glasgow

/0 Comments/in /by

This is a fantastic Glaswegian bar with a New York Grill theme that boasts an amazing menu, superb cocktails and an inventive interior. It is owned by Heineken’s Star Pubs & Bars and coincidentally it’s leased by an ex Newcastle College student who did a detour into the leisure industry after completing an art based course.

The brief was to capture illustrative photography for an article featuring this venue, it’s interior, staff, kitchen and a little food. Despite being a ‘butcher shop grill’ I photographed my dinner, a goats cheese soufflé (yup I am a veggie!) with rocket and hazelnuts… YUM YUM. But I am sure you will get the feel of the place without the rump steaks!
