Had another lovely day photographing the Ward family from Datchet the other day.
We started off with beautiful 8 week old Tara at their house, then off outside in the woods to chase around 2.5 year old Hugo, great fun! On days like this, outside in the wonderful summer sun, I wonder why I worked so long doing portraits in my studio with no windows!!
The Ward Family
“James Martin: Yorkshire’s Finest”
I was asked the other day to shoot some PR shots of James Martin the celebrity chef. Really nice guy, always making some funny comments as he works.
He first started to appear on television in 1996 with various programmes including “James Martin: Yorkshire’s Finest” (set in various Yorkshire locations with an emphasis on Yorkshire cuisine) but came to wider public attention on the BBC 2 programme Ready Steady Cook.
In 2005 Martin was partnered with Camilla Dallerup in Strictly Come Dancing, a celebrity ballroom dancing TV show, coming fourth.
Currently he is the host of ‘Saturday Kitchen’ on BBC 1.
I just wished it was a story about his collection of exotic cars, with a trip to Monaco! oh well never mind…
Dreamy Summer
Had a great photo shoot the other day, I spent most of the time laying on my back! photographing the Shields family in Windsor. This new perspective delivered some interesting images, so maybe I need to lay around more often? Not sure my wife would agree!
These are a few of the photographs from the day.

The lazy blogger
I have been a very bad blogger this month by not posting anything, bad boy Ian! This was due to working on various photographic projects and just did not have the time to post anything. I will be posting these images in the future as they develop.
Here are a few images from lifestyle photo sessions I have been doing this week, great weather, great kids, great fun..
Spring Fashion with Mark Heyes GMTV
I was asked by a PR company last week to photograph ‘Spring Style’ at the Oracle, Reading on Friday with Mark Heyes, the style guru on GMTV.
He is a really nice guy and was wearing a great pair of metallic silver baseball boots on the day. I remember at school, (a few years ago!!) one of the guys turned up with a silver pair of Dr Martins which he had spayed himself using his dads silver car paint! I think he was sent home for it? it was as rebellious as hell at the time! now the teachers probably sport something similar. Happy days..
This is a quick slide show movie of some of the images I took that afternoon.
Working in the dark
I was asked by a local gymnastics club to photograph some images for their new website a few days ago. I didn’t know what to expect, so I just took my camera bag and a couple of flash units expecting & hoping to be able to use natural light.
However the venue was a big, very big! dark, and without windows, lit by a few industrial (green toned) flood lights, not the best conditions!!
I introduced myself and was told they needed portrait shots of all 30 students, oh and half of them will leave in 10 mins, if that’s ok with you? So working like a crazy man setting up lights with no time to really think what I was doing, I did it! just.. in a bit over an hour with the rest of the group. Here are just a few shots to give you the idea. They are a really nice organisation which I’m hoping to run some promotions with in the near future.

More Silver
Just been informed I have been awarded another Silver Award from the SWPP (Society of Wedding & Portrait Photographers) for a session I did a few weeks ago of 2 week old Tommy.
I came over all Joyce Tenneson today!
I photographed a wonderful little boy today named Tommy, he is only 2 weeks old and so small!
In these images I was really looking for something different, its so easy in a situation like this to just repeat what you know and shoot in a predictable manner. So with these (the high key ones) I paid homage to the wonderful US photographer Joyce Tenneson, I really wanted to evoke his vulnerability and gentleness, I hope that’s what is communicated in these images.
