Out with the Kannemeyer's ...
Here's one of the photos I took of Lewis Kannemeyer during a family portrait shoot down in Hindhead, Surrey, yesterday morning.

Every day I have a number of websites that I routinely read - not surprisingly all of which are Photoshop & Photography related. One such site is www.flashflavor.com - a fantastic site, based in the US that posts regular photographs from photo shoots showing creative uses of flash - mainly at Weddings.
I'm always on the lookout to photograph items that usually wouldn't get a look-in, and last weeks wedding was no exception. This collection of umbrella's were hanging up in the hallway to where Amanda & Tim were having their wedding breakfast and they just caught my eye not just because of the composition but the light that was hitting them from the right through a large window.
Last week I mentioed about going to Thorpe Church of England School to take photos of the children for their 2008 Calendar. Well today I met up with my good friend Mike Jones, and popped back to take a few more shots and ended up being given a 'Thankyou' card from the children.
Here's a couple of shots from Tim & Amanda Chase's Wedding which was held last Saturday, the 17th November at Layer Marney Tower, Colchester.
As promised, here's just a couple of photographs that I took during the photo shoot at Thorpe Church of England School.
The reason for this particular shoot was that every year the school produce a calendar, which is then sold and the money raised goes towards buying equipment for the children. A few weeks back I was asked by a very good friend of mine Mike Jones, who's son Lawrence (see the attached portrait photo) goes to the school, if I would possibly take some photos for them. Well there was no way I was going to say no to doing this and despite Mike feeling a little uncomfortable with it, I said I'd do it for nothing; I just believe that from time to time we have to give something back, and this was certainly one of those times.
Although quite a tiring day, it was really enjoyable and the children certainly seemed to enjoy it, so my 'thanks' goes to Mike, a real good friend, for asking me to help out ... it was a pleasure!
This past few days has seen me photographing 52 children at an infant school for their 2008 Calendar, an urban portrait shoot and a product shoot - so as you can imagine, there's now quite a bit of post production to get on with.
The two photos I've attached to this 'blog' entry are from the urban portrait shoot and are of two brothers, Thomas & Christopher Savage. I decided to use Old Amersham, Buckinghamshire as the location because it's such a lovely area with a stream running through out, a beautiful church with large grounds and the colours at this time of year on the trees are stunning.
I met the two lads there with their mother Diane at around 10am and the shoot lasted for just under an hour which is just about as long as is possible with children of Thomas & Christopher's ages.
I'll post some images up soon of the school and product shoots, so check back soon :o)
Here's another of the photos that I took of Melissa & Lauren O'Donnell the other day. I've got approximately 30 photos in all to edit from the shoot some of which will end up being black & white so I'd better make tracks and get to work :o) ......
Well this last week has been quite a busy one with numerous portrait shoots and a new one for me, a product shoot where I was taking photos of some gorgeous looking food at a South African Cafe / Delicatessen called 'The Cape' in Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire.
One of the portrait sessions was of six, 3 month old babies ... one of whom was my gorgeous little nephew Rowan, who incidentally is becoming quite a 'pro' in front of the camera now, as his Uncle Glyn is always pointing it at him :o)
The photo I've attached to this entry is of a little girl called Lauren - the daughter of a friend of mine Vinnie O'Donnell, that I took during a portrait session whilst walking near Epson Downs. I'll post more as I edit them along with some of the others from this past week, so check back soon.
Bye for now :o)
