Winter Snow

Out walking in the Chilterns with our dog Maisey I spotted this huge snowball of snow made by local kids, with a bright blue cloudy sky a picked her up and plonked her on top of the snowball. Laying down in the snow with my new D700 and 28mm 1.4 this is my favorite shot as it looks like she's looking over the top of a mountain.

Barmitzvah and Simcha Wedding Exibition

After photographing a wedding at Claridge's on Friday, holding a Seminar on Saturday I was looking forward to meeting up with Keli and Tania ( two of my recent brides ) who were going to look after the sales and inquiries on my stand.

What a team they were......!!!

Tania and Keli generated nearly 60 potential wedding and Barmtzvah leads .

Over 2000 people attended the fair and he comments we received about the stand and style of work was amazing

A big thank you to everyone involved.

SWPP seminar

What started of a very nervous day for me ended in jubilation.

The event was sponsored by Loxley Colour and NIKON Cameras UK  who I have now begun an association with.

23rd November 2008 – Blogging...

I was interviewed today by Professional Photographer magazine and asked to comment on my blog.  Apart from the definite benefit that a blog provides in terms of promotion for my business, I hope that my blog also gives my clients a better understanding of who I am and how I work.
