Harvest Time - Ragley Estate

Material such as this can be used as a seasonal social media post as well as communicate the diversity of the Ragley Estate. It is also a historic record of the work, in a hundred years time images such as these will look quaint as are those taken in the same place in the 19th century.

Cafe fare

Food photographer at Ragley Cafe . Photographed for the Website and social media, the Shift / tilt focus technique was employed as a style choice but as the majority of the food photographs were top on this was employed as a Facebook & Instagram posting to promote the new menu at the cafe.

Spring Lambs

Marketing the destination early in the season is helped by using social media to communicate that the spring lambs are around. Space around also give the web team & designers the opportunity to put copy around the cute animals.

Ragley Grand Hall

Set for Wedding -using portable flash with daylight as well as specialist shift / tilt lens captures large interiors and small with great quality. The technical requirements for an Architectural photographer have changed, pre digital you required a 4 x 5 camera with shift & tilt movements, I used a Sinar in the studio, but on location I would use Linhofs as they were designed for portability. This image was shot with a Nikon D850 and a Shift /Tilt 24mm , my lens of choice for Architecture ,interiors and exteriors.

Spring Wild meadow flowers

Material as this provides a unique image that is specific to the location and can be used as a backdrop for seasonal information .

Fish & Chips

Black Country Museum , Dudley in the West Midlands. This commissioned portrait was for the Heart of England Tourism -part of Visit England. A few minutes to access set up lights and get out to allow the Chip shop to open to some very hungry visitors. The image was selected for the SUN awards.

Bowling Ladies

Leamington Spa - originally a personal project that was photographed in Leamington Spa at the Victoria Park Bowling greens. A chance trip to a meeting in Leamington Spa diverted me past the park. I went to my meeting and on return I photographed this typical English scene. It was shot on film and went on to win awards and was used for commercial marketing in the West Midlands.

Ascot

Ladies Day-from a personal project 'A day at the Races' exploring tribal identity. This approach works for commercial clients when marketing destinations. Advertising reportage is a description I use ,when subjects seem unaware of a camera , the images communicate that the image is real.
