Business portrait - October 2010

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

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

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.

Private Portrait - September 2010

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.

Sarah and Ian - August 2010

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.
