Hi everyone, hope you are having a lovely June so far? Welcome to my latest newsletter where I start with a trip to marketing company Mosaic Group in York where Kath Knowles, freelance brand designer, commissioned me to produce both lifestyle and headshot photography for the company’s new website.
I was invited to spend the day with Mosaic to create some quirky fun headshots that really show the personality of the people and the company. We used three different background colours and played around with lots of different expressions and poses and although the office dog took it rather seriously, he does look very handsome :-). We then took a walk around a small part of Mosaic’s twenty five acre nature reserve to capture shots that illustrate the beautiful surroundings and their amazing green credentials, before returning to the office to cover lots of office lifestyle and culture shots.
Last summer the British Red Cross asked me to create photography to illustrate their First Aid courses. The BRC’s marketing department organised the models, props, locations and most importantly supervision by a qualified BRC first aid expert to make sure everything was done and shown in the correct way. It was quite an educational photoshoot for me and hopefully I’ve learned a few tips! This was one day of many and I’ll look forward to showing you more over the following newsletters.
Another look at a few images from my photoshoot with Kirklees College. We visited the Health and Social Care Department in Huddersfield to photograph the students with the nursing mannequins. The mannequins are amazingly advanced and students can learn all sorts of techniques in a safe and controlled environment. These images will be used for the College prospectus and to illustrate the online pages.
I was asked by Will Stirling to help produce some lovely photography of the students at the JCB Academy in Uttoxeter. The purpose of the photoshoot was to help illustrate a history book to celebrate 15 years of the JCB Academy, which specialises in engineering and manufacturing. My brief was to capture portraits of students in the environment of the school and also to photograph the students engaged in activities – happy and focused. It’s a really amazing school and I was so impressed with the facilities on offer and the whole ethos of the school.

Box Power is a UK not-for-profit energy consultancy, where all profits, go back into the community and support good causes. It was a lovely evening, with an amazing fire artist, plus the mayor attended – always the sign of a good ‘do’ in my book!

Read moreI love these portraits for SMRS in Manchester! I had fun photographing about 20 employees and they didn’t need much encouragement to be themselves and let their personalities shine! Dan K worked his magic to transform the background into lots of different versions of their brand identity. I was thrilled with the results :-)
