Commercial Photography / Product Photography

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Have spent today at the lovely Studio Nine in Hove photographing furniture for Steve Baines-Holmes. He has been designing and making unique pieces using oak and formica which are retro but functional. Steve is also  a great carpenter and has done some work on our house and I still have a few projects in mind for him! He can be contacted on 07771751370 or steve.baines71@ntlworld.com

Product photography can look like the simplest most straight forward thing to do but it has its own challenges. However it is great to get into the studio sometimes and have complete control over the lighting. As ever we were looked after by the amazing photographer James Pike who hires out his well equipped studio www.studioninebrighton.co.uk

Sussex Weddings / Weddings at Buxted Park

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

This week I have been working with the boys at Pollen to produce a book for weddings at Buxted Park, showing how the different rooms look when set up. So I have been going up to weddings there this week to photograph the tables and the rooms. It is incredible to see the difference in how couples set their themes and how important those finishing touches can be. The chair covers really lift the place and add a lot of light into the room. They can also be personalised with sashes in your colour theme, with labels for guests names or flowers such as Clare’s little herb posies on the back of her chairs in September. Pollen have expanded their hire business to include vintage candelabras, birdcages, even floral jugs and teapots! Dex is so full of ideas and enthusiasm that it is quite inspiring.

The book should be complete in the next couple of weeks and will be shown to couples thinking of getting married at Buxted Park. They had an evening this week just for last minute bookings so that seems to be a big trend this year. Click on the link below to see the current version of the book, especially if you are thinking of getting married at Buxted this year.
