Hipstamatic Frenzy on The Isles of Scilly

I have just arrived back from shooting on the Island of St Martins for Coast Magazine. St Martins is the northernmost populated island of the Isles of Scilly, it is a truly beautiful place to be. The weather was fantastic for most of my stay until I wanted to fly back and then the dreaded coastal fog appeared stranding me for 24 hours. When this happens everything stops, nothing can be flown in or off the Islands, it is a case of just sitting it out and waiting for it to clear ! Whilst I was on St Martins I was keeping a record of the island with the Hipstamatic camera which is an iphone app, great little camera. For the hipstamatic fans out there my favourite lens film combination is the John S Lens & Ina’s 1969 Film.

Here are a few images taken

Long time no Blog !

It’s been a chaotic but good couple of months, hence, leaving me with no time to put anything on my blog. I have been shooting for the National Trust Magazine in Belfast, Northumberland, Norwich and Dorset for a Craftsperson feature that will be out this Autumn; The Gardens at Melplash Court, Dorset and Dieramas in Devon for Gardens Illustrated; A couple of stunning Arne Maynard Gardens for a new series in Gardens Illustrated for 2011; Toby Buckland’s Flower Gardens of Greenacre book which will be out later this year along with his regular features in BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine; New plants and roses at Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Shows for Gardeners’ World; A Shingle Garden in Pevensey Bay for Coast Magazine; Exmouth Mussels and Fidget Pie for Countryfile magazine and Head Gardeners’ at Lytes Cary, Grey’s Court and Nymans for an English Garden Magazine series that will be running in 2011. I even found time for a cricket game playing for Gardeners’ World against River cottage in Devon

RPS Plant and Garden Photography Course

Both myself and Paul Debois took our first course on Sunday 2nd May at The Royal Photographic Society in Bath. It was a great success and we had 10 very eager and talented students ready to be enlightened by the tips and tricks we use in photographing the gardening world. Our next course will be running on Sunday 26th September . Here are a couple of  images which were shot in the second part of the day when we have a practical session. A very basic set up with natural light, a bit of fill and some seasonal lilac and a Clematis montana bloom.

  

It’s a waiting game

So often on my shoots I find myself waiting for the perfect weather conditions. On this particular shoot at Boughton House in Northamptonshire, I had visited twice in order to get the right conditions, a light dusting of frost, good light and still. The commission is for Gardens Illustrated Magazine and my brief is to shoot the recently finished Landscape Garden called Orpheus by Kim Wilkie. We had a cherry picker booked so I could shoot from an extremely high vantage point taking in the entire landscape. I arrived at Boughton House nice and early to see that a good inch of snow had fallen over night covering the garden, this was not what I had ordered! Anyway, I managed to recce the view knowing I would be returning in a weeks time when hopefully the conditions will be in my favour.

Well two weeks later the conditions were perfect and you will be able to see the final set once they have been published in February 2011.

On my last evening at the garden I was told about the west front of the house lighting up like a beacon as the last rays of golden light hit the windows, this I had to see and capture. Here are a couple of pics taken with my iphone as I patiently waited.

George Keen’s Cheddar Cheese

This is an image I shot for Countryfile Magazine of George Keen. The Keen family have been crafting Cheddar Cheese in Somerset since 1899. Very tasty !

Beetroot Heaven

I have recently finished a shoot with Pam Llloyd PR who are a fantastic team working with fresh produce businesses to promote their products to consumer, media and trade audiences. It was a great couple of days with beautiful food styling by Genevieve Taylor.
