I live next to Chester’s Farm and he produces some fantastic Beef from mainly Belgian Blue Cattle . At the moment all are safely inside his barns for they winter as we are high up on the Yorkshire Moors, breakfast on a frosty morning for these beasts is a steamy experience as you can see. all seem very content with the well fermented silage !!
Had a great shoot today at Parrs Foods in Scarborough who are the UK’s premier producer of Toffee and Chocolate Apples. Look at them they are truly works of art !!
When I visited earlier in December I met up with Lasse Tano and Ola Backe who hunt Ptarmigan in the winter out in the forests. So I had the task of capturing images of two fantastic English Setters one called Myrhedens P- Fille, 2 years old and Lappvikens Ego Boy ( 12 years old) who is a double champion in Sweden. The temperature was -25 and we only had daylight for a couple of hours so I am really happy with the results. So thanks to Lasso and Ola and great work from the dogs.
The images are for The Dance at the Smithy dance studio’s new website being built by ASA Communications from Manchester.
New puddings on the menu and great cocktails in the Chapter House Bar my latest work for Principal Hayley Hotels
In August 2012 I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of katie and Ross in York, recently I had a walk in Dalby Forest with katie and her two lovely daughters and the enclosed images show what can be done on a short walk in the forest with a camera.
I have worked with Claire for a number of years so it was great to help her and Andy on their big day at the Hotel Du Vin inn York . The weather was kind to us apart from a mysterious strong wind that arrive as we went into the garden !! The Hotel’s french van was a great prop for friends and family photographs.
Between Christmas and New Year I had the pleasure to cover Ruth and Dave’s wedding at the fantastic building in the centre of York called The Merchant Adventures’Hall built in 1357 it is still in use today as a meeting place and for special events. I have included a few images in my blog to give a feel of this lovely day.
ON Sunday 21 October the Living Brides Wedding Show is at the York Racecourse and back in June I produced all the images for them at Newby Hall. On the day we photographed over 60 dresses using several models. The magazine has now been published.
An outdoor shoot seemed like a good idea but -3 eventually made us run for the coffee shop Helen did well putting up with the my demands and no coat !! Thanks to James for being a lighting assistant for the day.
