Saturday, August 19th, 2006Romans Hotel in Silchester was the venue for Sarah Terry and Laurie Miller-Cook’s wedding today. Nice surprise from Sarah’s mother, to provide horse and carriage for the trip from the couple’s house to the wedding venue. One of the features of our wedding photography service is an evening mobile studio. We added this to capture […]
Plan for rain
Tuesday, August 15th, 2006It would be easy to think we’re suggesting the following simply due to photographic reasons. We don’t live in the calmest of climates, so you can’t be sure in the so called ‘wedding season,’ that you’ll be enjoying a glass of bubbly in your venue gardens, bathed in sunshine. And then in winter, there’s even more […]
A trip to France
Sunday, August 13th, 2006Breathe went to France for the week on Sunday 13th. Interesting weekend to fly. Although our journey on Sunday wasn’t too affected by queues and delays (our flight being taken from Luton), other people in the party had to endure the Heathrow challenge. They queued up Sunday, flew on Monday, still hadn’t received baggage by Friday […]
The many sides to Thomas Croxall-Ingram
Friday, August 11th, 2006Our shoot at Berkshire’s Highclere Castle last week to produce an official portrait of Lord and Lady Carnarvon had to be curtailed before we got a chance to photograph the Earl’s Private Secretary, Thomas Croxall-Ingram. It had been the plan to capture his portrait too, but another busy day at the castle meant we had […]
School photography? Really?
Wednesday, August 9th, 2006Our first reaction to being asked if we would photograph pupils was to run in the opposite direction, fast. These are words we use on the description page of the main Breathe Pictures site. Initially this was because we didn’t feel we would be able to relate our product to the time honoured traditional method […]
Body painting at Breathe
Tuesday, August 8th, 2006Creatively speaking, this has been one of the most incredibly rewarding days. Berkshire body and face painter Emma Cammack joined us in the studio for what felt like a ‘paint-a-thon.’ There are three pictures to demonstrate the day’s work. The concept and brief was to produce a series of pictures to melt our models into […]
Richard Benyon’s exhibition portrait
Monday, August 7th, 2006MP for Newbury, Richard Benyon, sat for our Best of Newbury portrait exhibition this morning. Whatever your political persuassion, the point of this exhibition is to portray those who work, live or contribute to life in West Berkshire. Richard is undoubtedly part of life in the town. In Parliament, he is one of fourteen MPs […]
Odis Palmer shoot
Sunday, August 6th, 2006He got down to the last twenty in X Factor, so now he’s seeking that elusive recording contract. Personally, I think he’ll achieve it. Odis Palmer; talented, harmonic, intelligent, approachable, humble, giving, humourous - these are certainly not adjectives you usually associate together in the same sentence with a musician who has almost touched the […]
To airbrush or not to airbrush…
Sunday, August 6th, 2006…that is the question. Commercial portraiture is an important part of our work at Breathe. Adults often ask us to perform a series of cosmetic operations; tuck, blemish removal, hair tint, teeth whiten, frown and crows feet treatments. Unless there is a reason for airbrushing beyond recognition, i.e. the fashion glitterati, I usually suggest light […]
Congratulations Pritti and Jim
Saturday, August 5th, 2006Well it all went swimmingly. The venue; Heckfield Place in Hampshire, the couple Jim Dawes and Pritti Parmar. We just want to pass on our congratulations guys as you board several planes for a bit of a whirlwind tour of parts of the World over the next month for your honeymoon. One thing Pritti… ask […]
