ZING CORPORATE WORK (nice tunes)

For those that want a challenge I can promise that working live is one of the most scary things (certainly the most difficult and potentially the most rewarding however) . Its very hard to keep ones artistic integrity with taking photos at corporate events. I never wanted to be the sort of photographer that was there to weddings, parties, 21st’s etc, but I thoroughly enjoyed my work with the guys at the exclusive Zing Wine Bar last night, and may even consider some corporate work in the future. Particualry if its as high end as this!

It was requested that I came down and did their photography work (the aforementioned Scary Corporate Gig). I agreed, but when you are working for someone else and they hope to use your work, it is not the same as setting up artistic photo shoots with scouting and recon involved. You turn up shoot the shots and hope that lighting and everything else was correct for you. My advice is very simple, and that is do what you think is best. Stop thinking as Yoda would say erm do or do not there is no try… (Has the lack of sleep really made me quote yoda?…..nevermind)
I was lucky enough to get some top notch shots, and as well as that have a fantastic crowd about, who were so chuffed to be seeing the legendary DJ Nicky Holloway (Old Kent Road famous, and Master mixer himself, Ibiza king etc ) I must admit part of the thrill for me was having the chance to see one of this DJ’s rare sets. Top notch.

So a couple of shots here for you, but remember that the majority are with the boys at Zing and if you are ever in the UK feel free to visit them…Love and Peace Newman

HDR CHRISTCURCH PARK (war memorial)

Christchurch Park in Suffolk provides some amazing opps for HDR shots. The high Suffolk skyline and the war memorials seem to flash some important messages that I hope I have captured. Loving the HDR work, and am looking forward to more to follow soon,

Used a wide angle lens and captured both war memorials in one shot, I liked the way the first world war meets the secong, in such a picturesque setting.

The next is one of my favouritre photos. Was looking to capture the mansion from an unusual angle!


Finally for the mo the latest is just a solemn coloutred shot of a rain soaked memorial. Hopefully captured some beauty in the picture as the rain had just fallen and the moss seemed very well pretty I guess.

CANVASSES

Well the thing is good, and the canvasses are now available, just a quick one here to let you know about, the 40 by 40 dragon, and the same print available in a massive 100cm by100cm installation doing well for pubs and clubs. The Buddha is a limited edition classic and looks to be poplar at A0 size.
and then the Buddha!

Cornwall Beach Photo Shoot

Hi there one and all just got back from Cornwall and what a lovely time I had. Regardless of the copious pasty eating and the fishing (caught a massive mackerel - not hard apparently but still looked good), was brilliant to relax with all and take some photos. Inspired by the people at HDR you know who you are I managed to take some bad boy photos, and I look forward to finalising them over the coming months.
All is well in the world and keep up the good work, please comment and chat as always, thanks for the positive comment on the bliog and the redesign and thanks to those who have championed the redesign thank you as well.

Enjoy these three HDR Cornwall Shots please!
