Janet Penny - TearSheets

A wonderful day

2011-06-04T04:03:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure how professional it is for the photographer to cry at their client's wedding - but it when the couple are people you have known for a long time, I think it is excusable! Fausto and Kelly's day could not have been more perfect - it took place at the beautiful countryside venue of Frasers at Coldharbour and they could not have been better looked after. Weddings are a coming together of so many different friends and family, it is one of those times in your life when you can be guaranteed to be surrounded by people who love you and are there to celebrate your love. I can promise you that mine were not the only tears shed.

Time out to learn

2011-05-16T07:42:00.001-07:00

As a photographer, it is so important to be constantly learning and exploring all sorts of genres of photography. Food photography may not seem like an obvious choice for me to be looking at but I have spent the weekend watching the amazing food photographer, Penny de los Santos, running an on-line workshop with CreativeLive.com.
It is a privilege to watch another photographer at work, to see their techniques and style and how they work with the light.
Even though I primarily shoot people, I have learned so much and been inspired by the course.
I would recommend to any photographer, taking time out to learn a new technique or a different style of photography as it all informs what you do.

Wakey wakey!

This gorgeous girl is just 5 weeks old and SO cute. She also LOVES her sleep (lucky mum and dad!). We spent a lot of time gently encouraging her to wake up, just for a moment so that I could photograph those beautiful eyes. Luckily, Ruby is just as photogenic asleep as awake.

Well, it’s been a wonderful few weeks, with the children off school and lots of bank holidays – I have been taking a bit of time out but I haven’t forgotten you all!
I have been spending some time researching new products that I can offer. One I am very excited about is this bespoke wallpaper. It is printed locally on thick, wipe clean wallpaper and would look wonderful on a feature wall.
You will be able to choose an image from our session together and get made into wallpaper to fit the measurements of your space.
You can see here what one of my clients has done with their paper.
It’s a novel way to show off your images and will always be a talking point in your home.

I've had a run of photographing previous clients recently. I last photographed this fun three over 18 months ago. They're still full of energy and great to work with.

A walk in the woods is always wonderful, but when you take a family of four and a bouncy young dog along, it becomes a whole lot of fun too.
People are often concerned about the weather when we do a location shoot, especially if there's no bright sun, but I love working on overcast days: no shadows under the eyes and a much softer light. Even if the sun was bright, I would be herding my client into the shade!

I photographed this beautiful little one when she was just 5 weeks old and this week she was back for presents for Mother's Day. Here she is back again and as smiley as ever - just like her mum.

When I first walked round the Atman Clinic with Helen I had two thoughts:
What an amazingly light, bright and calm place and, I'm going to need a wider angle lens.

Last Friday I had a great time shooting for the fashion section of a new magazine - Fitness for Women. Now, I'm not all that fit myself but this mag is perfect for me because it demystifies all those questions I have about how to exercise properly and efficiently, and makes me feel like I really can do it too.
Our model was wonderful and very patient with the space restrictions in my studio (with fitness gear, 4 of us and all my lighting it was a bit of a tight fit) and it was a real collaboration.

Toddlers are not the easiest of subjects to persuade round to your way of thinking - and who can blame them? Who wants to be stuck in a white room and have loads of people telling you what to do? Having a big brother with you often helps, and a few of your favourite toys, oh, and plenty of time to really start feeling like a supermodel!

Way before Christmas I spent a lovely hour with these two bright young things, but because the shoot was intended as a present, I had to keep it under my hat.
I love shoots where my clients come up with as many ideas as I do and that's what happened here. We had great fun trying out lots of different poses and as a result came out with photos that truly reflected the wonderful personalities of these boys.

December - Wedding

2010-12-30T13:25:00.000-08:00

A December wedding in Bristol for some friends of mine. It was a lovely day, full of laughter and fun. Shooting this late in the year is a real challenge for a photographer as you are always chasing the light but we got some great shots and I even had a chance to set up a photo booth in the evening.

December - Private Portrait

2010-12-29T13:59:00.000-08:00

I confess, I'm a people watcher, which makes my job such a joy. One of the things I absolutely love about photographing families is watching the way that siblings interact, being able to capture that is the challenge I adore.

December - Private Portrait

2010-12-28T14:07:00.000-08:00

There's something incredibly special about 4 generations of a family coming together. Before Christmas I shot a wonderful session with a family of 13 whose ages ranged across 90 years. Sessions like these are great because there are so many connections between family members to capture. I hired a great studio in Southborough for this shoot because it would have been a bit of a squeeze in mine. It's a great space and we were all made very welcome.

Inside Out Garden Ornaments - business photography

2010-12-13T15:40:00.000-08:00

Before the snow arrived, I took a trip out to Wall Crouch to a wonderful, treasure trove of a business called Inside Out Garden Ornaments. It is crammed full of lovely statues, urns and figures to buy for your garden. I spent great couple of hours wandering around shooting photos for their website and went away with loads of ideas for things I'd like to fill my garden with.

Haywards Butchers - business photography

2010-12-01T02:32:00.000-08:00

For all you foodies out there, I have had the best job for the last few months, photographing for our local butcher in Tonbridge. Haywards is a family-run butchers, which is committed to supplying great quality meat to its customers - I should know, I'm one of them.
It's been a great experience photographing all the wonderful meat that Haywards supplies, and then getting to cook it afterwards. I have learned about all sorts of cuts of meat and discovered a love of Ox tail - got any good recipes anyone?

Another business portrait this week. Sue-Mee Maudsley is a fashion designer, stylist and personal shopper. I have had experience of Sue-Mee's talents as she de-cluttered my wardrobe for me a week or so ago and did a great job at making me feel like I have a style again.

Prize portrait - October 2010

2010-10-16T09:07:00.000-07:00

I recently offered a portrait as a prize for a photography competition in Playground magazine. I had a lovely couple of hours at the winner's home photographing her and her children. I took along my vintage Rolleicord as an experiment, to try and capture something a little different, it's not an easy task to photograph children with a camera that has no auto focus or exposure! I guess we're all a little spoiled these days with the technology we use. It turned out to be a great success and we were all delighted with the results.

Laura Duret loves vintage.
She loves vintage so much that she has based her business around it. Laura currently sells vintage clothing, organises Vintage evenings and is setting up a bespoke service to help clients rediscover their inner glamour, all under the name of Powder Room Vintage.
She looked beautiful in this vintage dress and the space where she houses her pop-up boutique (above Panache in Tunbridge Wells) was a wonderful place to photograph.

Style Savvy workshop - September 2010

2010-10-09T10:30:00.000-07:00

A couple of weeks ago I had a great evening at Hotel du Vin in Tunbridge Wells. I went along to shoot Sue-Mee Maudsley's Style Savvy workshop. Each of the guests brought along 3 items of their clothing and Sue-Mee showed them how to style it for this season. It was a great evening and fascinating to watch Sue-Mee at work, she really knows her stuff.

Back to Cherry Gardens Farm again to shoot their wonderful produce now it is September. Still love the place, still bought SO much lovely food in the farm shop

Getting four people to jump at the same time, pull a smile and not knock each other out is nigh on impossible. Which is why I love white backgrounds and photoshop jiggery pokery, they really help to make and fun family photo.

It is SO tough choosing the images to use from any wedding. I want to put them all up here and really let them tell the story of the day as I saw it. However, there is not the time, nor the space for that so I have decided on these three - I hope you get an idea of what a lovely and happy day these two shared.

New studio and the first shoot - July 2010

2010-07-27T13:35:00.000-07:00

It's been all go here recently with lots of exciting work in progress and I am pleased to be able to announce that my new studio is up and running at last!

It's a wonderful space, built professionally and at a great price by Shane of Just Magic buildings. I would highly recommend his work

The very first session I did was with my family, we all got together and I took some photos of us all for my mum and dad's birthday present - a great way to christen the space.

To celebrate this exciting new development I am thrilled to be offering 10 studio sessions at 20% discount on both a studio session and the prints ordered. Contact me via www.janetpenny.com to make the most of this offer.

I first visited Cherry Gardens Organic Farm last year, to shoot some pictures for Playground magazine. This time round I returned to take some more for Cherry Gardens upcoming website. The farm is a great place, full of gorgeous looking fruit, veg and flowers with the opportunity to pick your own. The farm shop is crammed full of organic delights from the farm and further afield.
I will be going back again in September to photograph more delicious produce but until then, feast your eyes on these two pics.

Wedding photography - May 2010

2010-05-29T14:24:00.000-07:00

My second wedding and I'm beginning to get addicted to them. It's so wonderful to be such an integral part of someone's special day. This wedding was a very intimate affair, just six of us, including the bride and groom but so full of emotion. What's great for me is that I'm really finding my stride with the images I take. The combination of colour digital and black & white film is a real winner and adds something extra to the images.

Book cover - 2010

2010-05-05T13:27:00.000-07:00

Looks like a good book too. Given that I LOVE reading, this is the best news for me.

I love shooting on location, especially when the location is as beautiful as this and with so much meaning to the people I'm photographing. We had great fun riding from one lovely spot to another.
6 adults, 7 children, 3 dogs and a herd of cattle. Oh, and some rain. Now that's what I call a portrait session!

Kids love to be active, so a great way to get good photos of them is to play on this fact. Jumping, high kicks, gymnastics of any kind all portray that energy that children always seem to have and they look fun too.

Private Portrait - November 2009

2009-11-27T05:49:00.000-08:00

When you run a photo session it's important to get the balance right. There's a fine line between relaxing your subject enough to make them feel comfortable in front of the camera and winding them up to fever pitch. I know of some photographic companies who like to create a highly excited atmosphere for the families they shoot but that's not my style and I find that parents don't appreciate leaving with children that are hyper.
So, we had great fun on this session and still managed to exercise a little control!

Pinhole camera workshops - October 2009

2009-10-20T05:49:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that Pinhole workshop time has come around again so soon. I had four great days with sixth formers making a camera obscura and pinhole cameras out of shoeboxes. For students who have only really used digital cameras the process is nigh on miraculous. I love that excitement in the darkroom when they watch their image appear in front of their eyes.

Private Portrait canvases - August 2009

2009-09-09T14:43:00.000-07:00

I am very proud to finally be able to show you the canvases that I have been working on. They are the result of a complex process which began with black and white photographs with my Rolleicord, then salt prints which were scanned colour adjusted and finally printed on to canvas. Phew! Both the client and I are delighted with the results.

Private Portrait - August 2009

2009-08-20T06:11:00.001-07:00

Another fun portrait session. As you can probably tell, I have a couple of standard poses that I use when photographing three children. One of them is featured above. Sitting the children one behind the other gives them a sense of security, creates interaction between them all and often comfortably turns into a calming triangular composition. The other poses just seem to happen naturally.
The other thing that works is doing the group shots first. This relaxes everyone, creates interaction and laughter and gives individuals the confidence to come in on their own later. It also has the advantage of getting those shots in the bag before fidgety younger ones get bored.

Remote Workers Award - August 2009

Hopefully I will get a chance to photograph them in the near future.

2009-05-07T03:34:00.000-07:00

Didn't want anyone to think that I have been neglecting my blog, or that I haven't had any work. I am currently working on some one off portrait/artworks using a combination of salt prints and canvas. Above is a work in progress. It's a lovely project to be doing, allowing me great artistic input and I'm hoping the results will be stunning.
There's always lots of other projects bubbling under the surface, including exam board work and a wedding coming up in October.

This image was originally taken in response to a call for a book cover. It didn't make it. A year down the line it was put to good use for this Agony Aunt column in The Times. It just goes to show, just because something isn't used as you expected it would be, doesn't mean it won't be used at all. Photo agencies are a great place to lodge this kind of work. Who knows what it might be used for next...

Another school workshop, another challenging and rewarding day. This is the first time I have done this particular workshop and it was with younger kids than I've taught before, but it was great fun. We spent the day creating digital negatives, salting and coating paper and exposing the images. We talked about the health and safety aspects of using chemicals and they spent time searching for and exploring historical and contemporary artists using alternative processes.
All in all success, we're already talking about doing some more.

Just off the High Street in Tenterden, up a winding staircase is a lovely place called the Garret Gallery. This month they are holding an exhibition of images that would be perfect for Valentines Day. I have 10 pieces on the wall - lots of hearts and soft colours - I never thought I had a particular theme to my shooting but it looks like I do!
The Garret Gallery hasn't been open very long and I hope that it is very successful as it's great to have somewhere that supports local artists.

When you have 4 children aged between 2 and 11 to photograph, it's hard to find one way to keep them all interested. What catches the younger ones' attention, bores the oldest and vice versa. However, getting the older children involved in keeping the youngest entertained often keeps everyone busy and happy! This photo session was great fun because it was in the client's home so all concerned were relaxed and confident and as a result it didn't take long for us to start getting some great results. What I always forget is that the more people there are to photograph, the longer a session takes - sounds obvious when you write it down - because there are more people to organise and interact with. There are also more individual shots to take and other combinations. Whereas a 1 person shoot might take 45 minutes, with time to chat and get to know each other; 4 people will take more like 90 minutes.

This weekend I will be setting up a mini studio within the Box of Delights exhibition and working through a series of photos that I have been wanting to take for some time. They will be based on sayings that surround animals and I hope that they will bring a smile to the viewers' lips. I will also bring along many of my vintage cameras and will be happy to chat about what they do and how I use them.
If you are in Tunbridge Wells this Saturday between 1 and 3pm do pop into the Tunbridge Wells Art Gallery and say hello. I'd love to see you.

These shots were taken from the project I am doing on local allotments. They feature various plots in Tunbridge Wells. I love seeing what people do with their very own piece on land and this article by my friend Lucy is fascinating for just that reason.

Private Portrait - November 08

2008-11-20T05:00:00.000-08:00

So cute and only six weeks old. Such young babies are tricky to photograph - they can't hold themselves up, sit or be bribed with bubbles! Being held over a parent's shoulder is a great way to get that alert look and a different angle. Despite the difficulties, there are always a precious moment or two, those yawns, a waving fist, a particularly burpy smile...

Pinhole Camera Workshops November 2008

2008-11-14T15:19:00.000-08:00

Walking into a room full of 6th form students is a pretty daunting prospect. Yet I can honestly say that so far, I have had only positive experiences working with A'Level photography students.
Most of them have only ever used digital cameras so the hands-on approach is a novelty. The very first thing we do is black out the room we are in and turn it into a camera obscura. Within 15 minutes every one of the students is completely in awe of the process and asking all sorts of questions about how and why it works. I take this opportunity to explain the physics of the whole thing, demonstrate the differences a larger or smaller aperture makes and show them how to calculate an F-stop.
From here we turn to making pinhole cameras from the variety of cardboard boxes they have brought in. After working out their individual camera's f-stop, we all load in a piece of photographic paper and head outside to take a photo - using a light meter to work out our length of exposure.
My favourite part of darkroom work is watching the image appear in the developing tray. After 20 years of doing it, I am still thrilled. You can imagine the effect on a student who has just created the camera that has taken the picture and was fully expecting it not to work... All I can add is that we spend a frenzied afternoon loading cameras, developing photos and scanning results. Tiring, but great fun.

When this gorgeous little boy arrived, he was definitely NOT in the mood for his photo to be taken. He had a cold, didn't want to let go of his mum and certainly didn't fancy coming into a strange place. A tricky two year old isn't easy to convince of anything, what he really needed was a little time to get used to his surroundings and regain his confidence. Within half an hour he was perfectly comfortable and happy to come into the studio, which can be an intimidating space, what with all the lights and the white... Bubbles and a game of peekaboo relaxed him even further and after a short session (20 minutes is about as long as you should expect a toddler to stay focused) I was happy that we had some great shots.

It is so wonderful to be part of this local exhibition. I went along to the Private view last week and it looks fantastic. As well as my 6 pieces - waxed digital prints mounted on recycled Iroko wood - there is a great collection of sculpture, illustration, etchings and paintings. If you are anywhere near Tunbridge Wells before Christmas I would recommend dropping in and taking a look; it would be a great place to buy an original and individual Christmas present.
