« Previous EntriesA blog, but why?
Monday, February 26th, 2007It seems to me that a weighty percentage of people photography is a matter of rapport. And that’s why we have our own blog at Breathe Pictures; to show that we’re real people. This blog has developed from being purely a commercial account of life in our photographic studio, to a more personalised journal covering the two professional passions […]
Best Man duties and a tale of woe
Sunday, February 25th, 2007Okay, the definitive list is as follows, although don’t panic chaps; much of this will have been taken care of by bride, groom and associates to the day. Organise suit fittings and pay for the privilege! Organise the stag party and if appropriate pay for the groom. At the very least, be the conduit for […]
Star Trek as a wedding march?
Saturday, February 24th, 2007Hey, well done you guys… and thanks for inviting us to be your wedding photographers. I’m sincerely flattered by the opportunity a couple bestow upon us to record their special day. I’ve written in blogs before that it’s not the easiest photographic task, because it comes with a great deal of responsibility. I’m even more […]
No claims discount
Friday, February 23rd, 2007Please, please, please, could someone explain how the no claims discount system works in car insurance? A definitive answer would be appreciated, as the few brokers I’ve talked with today have very differing accounts. The way it was told to me today was as thus: say your car insurance costs £100 per year. Huh, chance would […]
Thank you Courtney
Saturday, February 17th, 2007I’m always flattered when I’m approached by someone wanting to do work experience, doubly so if they choose to do it during their school holiday. We’re a small company; an SME in corp speak, so consequently it’s not something we get too involved in, since there is so much paperwork and admin for obvious reasons. So […]
The Girl Company in Newbury
Friday, February 16th, 2007One of the companies we regularly produce product photography for is The Girl Company. They’re a modestly sized boutique in our hometown specialising in, surprise surprise, girl’s clothing. They deal with the real movers in fashion; Ted Baker, Roxy, Miss Sixty, Catimini etc. In the last year they’ve expanded to include a range online and so […]
Pans People versus Hot Gossip
Thursday, February 15th, 2007It’s Steve Caldwell’s birthday. Today my good mate Steve is… you know, I don’t actually know how old?!?! I think we’re about the same age. For instance, when we go to night clubs we sit in a corner and say stuff like, “It’s nice to see the young people enjoying themselves.” I don’t see enough of the chap […]
A Valentine’s wedding
Wednesday, February 14th, 2007As Stewart’s groom’s speech suggested, “This is either the most romantic day of the year to get married, or a great way to remember Valentine’s Day and your wedding anniversary in one.” The Swan at Streatley was today’s venue for Stewart and Lucy May’s wedding. If you’re reading this blog as a newly engaged couple, the […]
It’s snowing!
Thursday, February 8th, 20078am Thursday morning, I looked out my window, and Hell’s Bells, the weatherlady was right… it HAD snowed. Not exactly the several feet deep dump that I was warned about, but enough of course to bring my native southern England to a shandy drinking stop. The message of ‘stay indoors and don’t travel’ was dutifully obeyed and the outside […]
Lister Talent
Wednesday, February 7th, 2007Ewan and Steve from Lister Talent visited Breathe today for their commercial portraits. Lister is an organisation focused specifically on improving communication in the workplace. We have a plethora of locations at the studio, not just inside. Since we’re situated on a farm, the availability of land and good evergreen scenery is never an issue. However, there are a […]
