This morning we completed a commissioned editorial shoot for a series of high-end lifestyle magazines. With no available images it was down to us to create a set of photographs that fitted the brief and gave the designer variety and layout options. Working closely with a senior member of the publishers staff who provided art direction we brainstormed some scenarios and scenes, and then sourced some models to feature in the shoot and a location.

Now that the “Christmas at Marwell – be enchanted” experience is well underway I’m pleased to reveal that I was the photographer behind most of the images used in the PR materials for the event.
This afternoon I was again fortunate to be shooting food for Hampshire Fare as part of the Hampshire Food Festival. Today though I was at Vatika situated in the Wickham Vineyard near Botley – an beautiful setting for this excellent Indian restaurant. The event was an Indian BBQ masterclass hosted by renowned chef Atul Kochhar and the Executive Chef at Vatika – Jitin Joshi.
This evening I covered one of the Hampshire Food Festival events on behalf of Hampshire Fare. The Local Produce Supper at Setley Ridge Vineyard in Brockenhurst had already run once on the 6th July and this was the second supper in the month long Hampshire food festival during July.
My brief for the evening was to document the event without interrupting the guests and I was looking to capture a sense of place, some portraits, food preparation and prepared food and if possible everyone enjoying the supper.
On Sunday I headed down into Southsea for the Food Festival and to shoot some food photography in an editorial style as well as getting a sense of place from this popular event. I got there early, and to be honest most of the food stalls were still setting up, and as I was on...

This evening we welcomed the team from Isabella Weddings to the studio for their PR headshot photography and portraits. We work closely with Isabella Weddings and so they are no stranger to our photography – but this is the first time the camera has been turned on them.
Todays commercial photography job was a PR shoot for a Lee-on-the-Solent leisure business. Images from today are going to be used in press releases, are likely to be featured in the local papers, on their website and of course added to the archive for the next 100 years celebration.
I spent the afternoon on a commercial photography commission in Winchester, Hampshire with the team at The Place For Mortgages (TPM).
This morning I photographed an innovative process cooling unit for an Eastleigh based company. The unit was in the process of final assembly before being sent to a customer and my client was looking for some high quality images of this new unit for sales and marketing materials (website, brochure etc).
I photographed some industrial units in Fareham over two periods of today. The client is the owner of the site, and they were looking for updated images of some of the units to update their brochure and website. All the images were taken on high resolution digital capture equipment using specialist architectural lenses to maintain the verticals and correct perspective.
Today I covered the PR for the Lee-on-the-Solent Tennis Club on their annual Open Day.
This year both Pat Cash and Andrew Castle visited the tennis club to be part of this well prepared, and executed event.As with last year my brief was fairly straightforward. Capture the day, photograph some PR images of the celebrities with the sponsors and their families, and then shoot the tennis matches.
Once again I will be the official photographer for the Lee-on-the-Solent Tennis Club open day, commissioned by the club to cover the day and to photograph a series of images for them. This year the club has Pat Cash, and Andrew Castle returning to do battle in some exhibition tennis with Chris Wilkinson, the club’s Director of Tennis, and commenter/umpire Matt Chilton also there – it promises to be bigger and better than last years amazing event.
We just completed an executive portrait for a management consulting company based in Whitely near Fareham in Hampshire. The Operations Director visited the studio for a formal business portrait and we quickly created a series of different looks and lighting and some high quality portraits before he left.
