Bar Work. Photography in a local Club.

Thanks to a very kind Bar Owner in Basingstoke, I was able to shot Kate, a local model in a great location.
Myself, Marta and Kate turned up with enough kit, it looked like we were permanently moving in, but this didn't phase Ernie. Marta got to work with makeup as I started setting up for the shoot.

Kate when completed with makeup and wardrobe began to do her work and we got down to some bar shots for her online portfolio.

A few change of clothes were used and the hours flew past, it is of course hard work so a little refreshment  was required for all the hard working people. Here is Kate enjoying her's.

Hopefully you like the images and of course just let us know if know of an interesting alternative shooting location that you'd lie to use. Until then, happy snapping.

  

1st Birthday Party

This weekend we had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful family in Hampshire who had asked us to capture some of the family moments at a 1st Birthday Party.

Hopefully you can see from the pictures that the family and friends where happy and relaxed. We were a little shocked at how little the young ones were affected by our camera and lights.

We love mobile photography, as wonderful as it is to get studio shots the family surroundings can really add to the photos and certainly make the children more comfortable.

We spent the first 10 minutes just sitting around and without taking any pictures then sprang into the set up.

I hope you like the pictures.

Head Shots For Actors

Hey Guys,

So the New Year is almost upon us and lots of you are thinking of resolutions and new starts. I guess that could be why I've been doing a few head shots this week. For actors especially it's important to have an up to date head shot for castings and agencies. But of course Facebook and other social media sites are where your friends, family and potential business contacts are going to see you. So a professional picture may just set you apart from the rest.

So here are a couple of the images I captured recently for these reasons.

Well In between the bad storms and floods we have had a few great days to get out and shoot. I managed to arrange a shoot last week at Audley Wood, just outside Basingstoke and took this picture of a willing male subject.

He isn't a model but did a good job hiding the fact which of course is what I love to do. You really don't have to be experienced in front of the camera to have some great pictures taken.

I hope you guys like this as much as I do. Good job G.

Basingstoke Hockey Christmas Dinner

We had a fun Saturday night with Basingstoke Hockey Club when they held their Black Tie dinner event. There were just over 100 guests in the club house getting merry on the odd drink and rocking out with the band.

We had a few of the teams in front of the mobile studio to record the night before things got too messy.

All in all a fab night and if you've not been to the club house on a Saturday, it's worth popping down to 'Down Grange' to see some games.
