Heineken pubs in London, The Blacksmith & Toffeemaker

I was in London recently to shoot several pubs for Heineken’s pub company, S&NPC. I saw some fabulous interiors whilst there and great design ideas and furnishings for pubs, cafes and living spaces.

Here is the Blacksmith and Toffemaker in Angel, if any Londoners haven’t been, get down there for their fabulous food, lovely staff and a chilled vibe. For anyone nationwide, next time you are in the big smoke get on a tube to Angel and pay them a visit… its well worth it.

Studio Product Shoot.. Stage Two

You may remember the delightful Sophia who came to my studio to sit on and behind  retro speakers rocking old school headphones… well she came back to shoot the next stage in this top secret project (I can’t tell you as I would have to kill you… well not yet anyway) and we got messy with Sharpies and red paint!

PS. Whilst this project unravels I have had some amazing acrylics delivered from Sophia’s stereo headphones shoot…. these are now offered as a fantastic new product here at the studio. Details to follow… now where did I put my rawl plugs and drill?

Barry Ersoz, Corporate Portraiture for ND Creative

Well Barry Ersoz of Power 4 Pubs was a super chap to photograph, jolly and a good sport. Barry had a passion for photography so we chatted f-stops and techniques as I shot. Many MD’s would rather be running the business than posing for photos but good profile images always make for a friendly approachable business.

It was ND Creative that commissioned these professional yet relaxed contemporary photography for one of their spreads in the S & N Pub company quarterly ‘Pub Life’. For more information on their please work visit http://www.ndcreative.com/commercial portraits newcastle upon tyne

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heineken’s Pub Life shoot for Sports 2012

On the run up to all things wonderful and British this summer as well as celebrating the Royal Jubilee & Kate & Will’s 1st wedding anniversary there is a big sports focus on the 2012 Olympics and the European Football Championships.

Heineken knows that all Scottish and Newcastle lessees need to be riding on the custom this can bring to their pubs. So off I trotted to Nottingham to capture a sports themed set of images for the Pub Life quarterly. Luckily the sun shone giving the images an optomistic feel for pub garden fun this year….
