Well everyone was happy with these

Anyway as a result of that meeting, Karl commissioned me to photograph various buildings around Lancashire that they had worked on. They ranged from beautiful houses in the Ribble Valley to health, sports and equine facilities. Karl basically told me to go and do my own thing, no interference, just photograph them as I saw them.

I spent a number of months working on the project, the photography was finally finished in July. The web designers took until Feb this year before everything was up and running.

Here are a few photographs from one of the largest projects, the Crowwood leisure, sports, health and equine centre in Pennine Lancashire.

Comments are more than welcome

As usual comments are more than welcome.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated

We tried several different locations in Manchester city centre. I suggested we try to get some photographs on these escalators. We needed to move fast so as not to obstruct anyone. They were up for it, which always helps!

I wanted to get a bit of movement in the photograph, so a slow shutter speed,a bit of flash and a very steady hand was needed. There was a little photoshop work, only the blocking out of other shop names as we did not want them associated with this photograph and the adding of the tint.  The photographs where very well received, so much so Paul even has a copy of it on his wall.

Nice people, plenty of time, interesting locations all make for a happy photographer and a job well done.

The brief –  ’The photographer needs to get a photograph of  Ian with his fleet’.

Well it was Friday afternoon in mid December, it was cold and damp, I turned up and not unexpectedly for that time of year all the trucks where out on deliveries.
We experimented with  few photographs in his office with a map to show the areas covered, not really what I wanted but that’s all we had to work with.
I suggested we try something outside, I then noticed the roller shutter to the garage.

Fantastic!

I asked Ian to stand against it , arms folded, hands in pockets, you get the idea.

I decided to go with this photograph in the end, nice, simple and graphic.

The editor of the magazine loved it, the magazine designer loved it, unfortunately it never appeared, why?

The magazine was on deadline and they had hired in an assistant designer who just used the first photograph I had submitted, you guessed it  the map shots.

Gutted!!!

Any comments as usual are more than welcome.

I have just photographed graphic designer Darren Wilson of KP Studios,Blackburn, Lancashire.

At first I wasn’t sure where to photograph Darren, I had considered the centre of Manchester or Liverpool but finally decided on Cleveleys, Lancashire of all places. Hardly  rock and roll, but the lighting on the coast is amazing and it is always fairley quiet there. We drove, set up and did the shoot, the round trip taking about three hours. As with anywhere in Lancashire at the moment, is was freezing, more so than being on the moors overlooking Burnley last week.

We had a good laugh, Darren was a good subject , easy to photograph, everything went well.

Yet again watch this space for the results.

All went very well and you can see the pictures when the whole project is complete. So once again

Watch this space!!

The brief was to show the approachability and professionalism of the partners. We decided to go for a white backdrop with a chair as a prop, this enabled the partners to relax more as they could lean on it sit on it, remove it, etc. in which ever way they felt comfortable.

It worked, here are a few examples, more can be found on Weightmans website.
