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.

London Fashion Weekend: Catwalk models

Friday, September 25, 2009 6:58 pm Posted in commercial work, portraits

I had the opportunity to work up at London Fashion Weekend today on an official photographers pass and so travelled up from Hampshire to photograph the catwalk shows and models.

I covered both of the early afternoon catwalk shows hosted by Louise Roe with each show featuring four different collections for the packed audience. As well as getting great images I was also using this as an opportunity to evaluate the Nikon D3x which I had on loan from Nikon and compare it against my normal pro kit. So I was doubly pleased with the results. Some of these will definitely be going into my commercial portfolio.

As well as looking for the money shot at the end of the runway and of course full lengths I tried to get some different images under the confines of a small 40cmx40cm allocated square of space in the photographers enclosure. This opening shot being an example of that.

Hope you like them – more after the jump.
