  • Does a photography job get any tastier than this?

    Does a photography job get any tastier than this?

    Strid Wood tea rooms needed appetising food photography to show the effort they put into catering in their tea room at Bolton Abbey near Skipton. I duly stepped in to assist, as well as generously dispose of cakes, scones and sandwiches after modelling duties (for food hygiene reasons of course).

    We agreed to mimic a contemporary style of food photography – the sort you see in ‘Great British baking’ style cook books, so creative depth of field and plenty of crisp, clean and consistent lighting. For this I used two strobes (portable flash); one key light to give an accented highlight and one for fill to make sure the overall photo is correctly exposed.

    Strid Wood were elated with their food photographs which you’ll eventually see working hard to attract visitors on their website and brochures. In fact they were almost as elated as I was with the box full of lime and pistachio cake they let me take home.

  • Riley & Symone’s wedding at Cubley Hall in South Yorkshire

    Riley & Symone’s wedding at Cubley Hall in South Yorkshire

    Good luck doesn’t get any more timely than your wedding day landing in the midst of a summer heatwave. And that’s how fortunate Riley and Symone were on their big day at Cubley Hall in Penistone near Barnsley in South Yorkshire.

    Their ceremony took place in a picturesque bandstand overlooking miles of rolling green South Yorkshire hills. With plenty of natural light and not a cloud in view we had a perfect setup for capturing joyful candid photos of Riley and Symone’s marriage. I had assistance from my second shooter on the day, Mark Dolby.

    Riley and Symone chose me as their wedding photographer after seeing how happy the Bells were with their wedding photography. They asked me to capture people enjoying themselves, as events happen naturally with nothing staged save for a couple of formal photos for the mantelpiece.

    Informal wedding photography makes everyone feel more comfortable. Unlike pricey wedding photographers I don’t monopolise your attention, meaning you’ve more time to mingle with your guests and enjoy your wedding day. And while you’re doing that I hover discreetly on the fringes capturing those precious spontaneous moments that unfold naturally between bride, groom and your loved ones.

    Suzy is a professional singer. She needs photographs to promote herself at agencies and secure bookings at events. So we opted for well-lit clean and professional images, enhanced with three and four point lighting set ups to add depth to her profile.
