Product day

Another side of our work at Breathe is commercial photography. Regular client The Girl Company visited us today to photograph their autumn and winter range. The company specialises in girls clothing from newborn to 14 years. We photograph and retouch all their product shots, plus produce model photography. You can see the full range on […]

Lisa and Jamie’s engagement shoot

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

Been a fairly eclectic day of shoots today; a private family commission, another portrait for the Best of Newbury portrait exhibition and Jamie O Sullivan’s engagment shoot to his future bride Lisa Walmsley. Whilst most people say that the organisation of a wedding is one of the most stressful times of their life, these guys […]

Toby and Fiona’s wedding

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

Toby Roxburgh marries Fiona Johnson today at the Matara Centre in Gloucestershire. Matara and I quote their website now; “Is a place where people can come to reconnect with themselves, each other and their place in nature. Here, in the unspoiled Cotswold countryside, people enjoy tranquillity and grow in awareness.” In essence this is a […]

Matt and Zoe’s engagement shoot

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

It was a busy day in the studio today, in that it was one of the few Saturday’s we had a chance to shoot private family commissions instead of attending a wedding. Good luck in advance to Matt Anderson and Zoe Walters who get married this Friday, 1st September. They popped in to sit for […]

Eve Bistro

Friday, August 25th, 2006

We were asked by Eve Bistro in Newbury to provide original artwork for their new restaurant. What to do? We chose to represent the theme by asking; “Who is Eve?” To that extent, there are several frames and canvasses depicting a ficticious Eve. This is the montage frame, which full size is almost two metres squared. The […]

Lyndsey

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

Bristol Uni student Lyndsey is building her modelling portfolio and this is taken from her shoot. One of our favourite styles of photography at Breathe is close up portraiture. Usually you read a lot from the eyes in a picture. But sometimes, just sometimes, hiding the eyes says so much more. So, thanks Lyndsey for showing […]

Find a hand, any hand

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

This is the latest in our black and white body painting collection, a collaboration with artist Emma Cammack. Imagine holding your hand in one position; elbow on the floor, arm and hand at 45 degrees, fingers splayed… for two hours! Alex, the model, looked in definate pain towards the end of this commission. The plan is to […]

Photo shoot clothing; hats

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

If you book a photoshoot at Breathe, you’ll receive a prompt sheet on items to bring and suggested clothes to wear. Think ’simple’. Particularly with clothing. Bright clothes are fabulous for colour work, but unless you’re trying to make a point, avoid garish tones. Exceptionally loud oranges, luminous vibrant greens and flourescent yellows are a […]

Zealey

Monday, August 21st, 2006

One of our favourite shoots featuring eclectic musician Zealey shows how simple ideas can be so effective. We were looking for a tidy idea to demonstrate Zealey’s diverse style and imagination. Manager Andy Thompson suggested the concept of an additional limb to unbalance the image. And so we produced this picture. Blog and photo (c) Neale James, Breathe […]

Summer cooking, man style

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

Barby season… tis the season to be a man at the stove isn’t it?! It’s not for the faint hearted or girls, because you’ve got to come out grunting and all alpha male from the shed, heaving this ‘should be’ condemned health threatening barby full of spiders and cat pee into the garden, spatula and tongs in […]
