Saturday, September 30th, 2006On Saturday 30th September we ran an open day for the Best of Newbury exhibition, whereby the good and great of the town could show up, no appointment necessary, and sit for their portrait. The exhibition opens first week in November at the Corn Exchange. It’s a market town in middle England, but this is […]
The Stag!
Sunday, September 24th, 2006This weekend was my stag weekend. Vilamoura was the destination and in true style, the boys had a plan for unrivalled, unnecessary, unabating embaressment. Of course as a Stag, your Best Man is the chap you can rely upon to look after you, make sure you’re tucked up in bed at a reasonable hour in reasonable state, […]
The Alberts
Sunday, September 17th, 2006The best accolade you can receive as a photographer is when someone returns to do a shoot. It means you’ve connected, you’ve made a friend, you’ve won trust. So, when Barbara Alberts and family returned after a year with their children to sit for a further private commission shoot, I was delighted to welcome them. […]
Congratulations Jason and Ginny
Saturday, September 9th, 2006Two of the nicest people I’ve ever had the privilege to photograph got married today, Jason and Ginny Leadley. Because we organise engagement shoots as part of our process when photographing couples for their wedding, you get to know people reasonably well. An engagement shoot gives me the chance to chat to a couple and […]
Sue Hill
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006I’ve shot two sessions now for aspiring actress Sue Hill. This time we went far more artistic and character led. Here’s one shot from today’s session; a slightly more dark and moody led selection. Having worked in the entertainment field myself, I know how hard it is to sell oneself. So, armed with 30 more […]
Paul Megram
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006Awarded ‘British Magical Champion,’ Paul Megram approached us at Breathe to reshoot generic shots for his new website; www.paulmegram.com Paul is a superb close up magician, one of those guys that makes you think you can see everything, but in reality, you’re as blind as the proverbial to what he’s actually doing. He brought the […]
Cheesecake?
Tuesday, September 5th, 2006Captain Gerry came round for dinner tonight, works for a well known airline, no names no pat drill… suffice to say he’s the World’s greatest dinner guest. Talks exactly like a Captain should. If the frying pan went up in flames, he’d calmly request you to return to your dining room seat and assume the brace position. […]
Sleepers
Monday, September 4th, 2006With the Best of Newbury exhibition being compiled for our preview and launch night in November this year, I’ve been thinking about the next people based project. Have you ever noticed just how many people in our ‘hectic, go go, never stop, I’m so stressed’ life seem to be snatching a couple of zzzzz’s? So, […]
Play to the occasion
Sunday, September 3rd, 2006A busy week, capped off with a wedding viewing. It’s perhaps the most nerve racking professional moment for me, no matter how many times we do it at Breathe. The moment a couple come in to the studio following the honeymoon to view their shots and designs is a time full of anticipation. We spend […]
Howzzzzatttt!
Saturday, September 2nd, 2006The thing I’ll remember most about today’s wedding is the cricket match. Oh, and the fact the London cabbie transporting the bride to the church managed to take a sneaky short cut and lose me! The Knowledge - one, GPS - nil. And one more, Lisa’s Ipswich Town FC themed garter belt. Well done Jamie […]
