Bespoke Fitness
06 January 2012

I have photographed Bespoke Fitness a couple of times now. At the first session we concentrated upon the images they needed for their web site, so I photographed them demonstrating exercises and their range of portable equipment. The second shoot was at their very successful Fit camp sessions and I was so impressed by the commitment of the participants.

One of many photos I took in my studio of the equipment Bespoke Fitness can provide.

Centre for Life Newcastle
05 January 2012

I have worked at the Centre for Life many times over the last few years photographing a variety of events. This is a Life lab Genetics workshop in their Educational Department organised by The UK Association for Science and Discovery Centres. Each week, ASDC members engage 385,000 children and adults with science, how brilliant. The brief was to photograph the session, and to do some close up photos of equipment. I did this without interference so that the photos are authentic. Here are a few examples from the 116 provided. Feedback from ASDC was "they look fabulous".

Bike Race 2011
05 January 2012

I was lucky enough to be able to pop out of the house and catch the race passing by last summer 2011. "Northumbrian Water is once again proud to host and sponsor the 2011 Northumbrian Water Tour of the Reservoir in partnership with the Tyne Valley Cycle Club and welcomes all competitors, spectators and visitors. The 1,000 acres of the magnificent Derwent Reservoir make a spectacular backdrop for this major national cycling event"

It's always great to be able to photograph fast moving unpredictable events as it gives opportunities for the unexpected. I photograph Appleby Horse Fair regularly too which is also visually very exciting.

Northumberland County Show
04 January 2012

I have been very lucky to be invited to act as one of the official show photographers every year since 2009. I have a very open brief which is to cover a few of the areas of the show and to "capture the magic".The show wouldn't happen without the dedication of those who plan it and run it, but it's also dependant upon the enthusiasm and commitment of those who travel vast distances to take part. So it's a delight to share in the show experience. Watching the judges I have learnt a little bit about poultry.

The commentary is always very interesting, informative and entertaining. The winners of the best breeds are paraded through the main arena to have further judging to find the best in show overall.
