Hampshire Wedding Photographers specialising in Contemporary and Documentary wedding photography| Fareham Portrait Studio | Commercial Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Hi my name is Mike French, and I'm a Fareham - Hampshire based photographer, and the owner of Meonshore Studios, a family run business. I'm passionate about my photography, and running the studio and I like to think this shows in the way I interact with my clients and of course in the images I create.

I adore shooting weddings, and I'm always looking to capture those special moments as well as document the day as it unfolds - my style is a fusion of contemporary, classical & documentary photography. However I also love portraits showing families growing together and of course my commercial work.

All the images you see below are mine, I hope you enjoy them and that this blog gives you some insight into what we do and how I work.

Meonshore Studios

Meonshore Studios is based in Fareham, Hampshire and covers clients all over the UK and beyond. Weddings are typically photographed in Hampshire, West Sussex, Berkshire, Surrey and Dorset although we have been asked to cover weddings across the UK and indeed Europe.

Our portraits are most likely to be taken in Hampshire in the studio or on location and of course we travel anywhere for our commercial clients.

We are an award winning studio, and recommended by many venues, wedding planners and vendors and agencies.

This blog is the diary of the studio and contains a mixture of the work that we do - we have dedicated websites for our different types of photography.

Sultan Theatre Group – dress rehearsal for latest production

Thursday, March 26, 2009 7:15 am Posted in commercial work, events, portraits

Last night I covered the dress rehearsal of the Sultan Theatre Group’s production of Something Funny Happened On The Way To The Forum at HMS Sultan in Gosport, Hampshire.

Working with the Director of the play I spent the duration of the rehearsal capturing live performance stills of the actors and actresses on stage. The production runs from tonight (26th) through to the 31st March. Made famous by Frankie Howerd this is a fun farce/comedy and it was enjoyable, although challenging to get high quality images.

Fortunately although dark the stage was well lit, and gave some great lighting on the cast.

Here are a small selection of the images (more after the jump). Cast and crew can get access to a password protected gallery by contacting Jeni.

Other theatres, theatre groups or amateur dramatic societies please do get in contact to see how we can cover your production and supply promotional images, additional revenue opportunities for you, and performers headshots for PR.
