More corporate headshots! – portrait – photographer – Leeds – Yorkshire

The people at Shepherd Engineering Services have commissioned me to take A LOT of portraits of themselves lately. I started with the marketing team and the senior management team and board of directors, then I did all the business managers and now I’ve had the pleasure of photographing the HR and training team. In between I’ve also done some PR shots at York’s new university campus and some completion photographs of a new health facility in Grimsby for them. The HR and training team took me over the road from their head office in York, where we’d just about exhausted all the possible backgrounds, to the lovely Hotel du Vin. There was a quiet courtyard just made for the job. Here are a few of the group shots and some individual ones for a flavour of how they were all processed.

Salvo’s – The F Word’s best local independent Italian restaurant… and me!

I’m not very good at keeping a secret especially if it’s something exciting. And what could be more exciting than becoming Salvo’s photographer so I’m spilling the beans! Only a few weeks ago Gordon Ramsey’s F Word decreed Salvo’s the very best local independent Italian restaurant in the country, and deservedly so – I have been going there regularly since we moved to Leeds 10 years ago and always have a wicked time with amazing food. On Friday I went to Salvo’s Salumeria for an evening of soul and wonderful food and to kick off our new partnership. I’ll be helping them out with photography for their music nights and events every so often and running promotions with them. Friday’s event was huge fun with the ‘chunky but funky’ Cleve ‘Reverend’ Freckleton and musicians Neil and Jam providing a lively mix of soul hits while Gip’s team looked after the delicious four course menu. I took a few photos as I was there and I was very pleased they turned out so well after John plied me with rather too much limoncello.

Next post will be more what you’re used to – a lovely bit of portrait photography featuring natural light and children. But for now, a small musical and gastronomic diversion (although unfortunately the food had all been snaffled before I had chance to photograph it) …

Corporate people shots

I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog-front lately. Sorry if you’ve missed me but I’m about to make up for it by several blogs in quick succession. I’ve not stopped – I’ve been really busy shooting portraits and corporate work and getting together new samples and marketing materials as well as sorting out some great new partnerships, of which more later. For now, here’s a taster of some corporate photography that I did last week for York-based engineering firm SES, featuring headshots and groups from marketing and the main board of directors and senior management team. There were a lot of people – this is just a small sample – but they were all very friendly and fun to work with so it was a long day and even longer post-production but worth it when I found out they were all happy with the pictures of them!

Baby massage – pupils and teacher

Suzie has launched a fabulous new baby massage class in Leeds called Jelly Babies.

As well as providing mums with the chance to learn how to massage their babies with a friendly fun and qualified instructor, it gives them an opportunity to meet other mums and have a lovely sociable experience with their babies. At the end of the five week course everyone gets a personalised certificate with a beautiful photo of their baby taken by me! Here are some images of Suzie I’ve just taken for her marketing materials, plus a couple of example certificate photos from the last course.

And here are a couple of lovely little models from the last course, as they appear on the front of the certificate with the Jelly Babies logo (they don’t have my watermark, that’s just here for the blog):

Pirates and princesses

What a magical afternoon I had photographing a treasure hunt party for Lello and Monkey’s website (www.lelloandmonkey.co.uk). It really felt like we were all in a glorious fairy tale complete with an exciting hunt for treasure, fun and yummy prizes and a party tea fit for a captain or a king. As children’s portraits are my speciality I was spoilt for choice with gorgeous models in wonderful costumes. If you’re looking for ideas for a children’s party that won’t break the bank Lello and Monkey’s treasure hunts are the whole kit to keep everyone entertained. If you want someone to take some photos, I’d love to do this again!

A full gallery of all the images is now available to the parents of all the lovely characters involved on the day.

Who says princesses have to be girls?…

One of your five a day

It’s healthy eating week at my children’s school so these website shots for Nick Lock director of creative FMGC specialists Carrot Juice, seemed very timely

Portraits for a professional

Laura Silcock is a very talented copywriter and a friend who I worked with in my old life in PR. She is planning a new website and wanted some images for it. Observant fellow photographers may recognise Laura if they also follow Stewart Randall www.randallphotography.co.uk as Stewart recently photographed Laura and Paul’s wedding. Stewart’s wedding photographs were stunning but Laura is naturally beautiful so even though these are more everyday and she just really wanted head and shoulder shots rather than anything creative, I think she looks still looks amazing and anybody needing a copywriter will be drawn to her!
