Focus On Imaging, NEC

I attended the annual Focus On Imaging photographic show at the NEC this week and had a great time spending money on new kit and speaking to very knowledgeable people, including the great Keith Trainor and the superb Damien Lovegrove from Lovegrove Consulting. Looking forward to next years event already.

SWPP Convention

I was lucky enough to attend the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP) Trade Show and Convention this month at the Novotel, Hammersmith London this month and had a great time. I saw lots of great new products for the social photographer, escpecially the new Nikon D300.

Also met loads of like minded photographers and swapped some hints and tips. Now looking forward to using some of the new products and ideas in 2008.

Pet Portraits

Never work with animals or children the saying goes. Well, I've got lots of experience trying to photograph children, but not so much of the four legged variety, so an opportunity to photograph a much loved pet recently was gratefully received. It was an experience, but I managed to get some pleasing results.

Scouts Assocation Centennial Dinner

Event-Pics were invited to the Scouts Association Centennial Dinner at the Hilton Warwick last week. We took a mix of formal and informal photos for the organisers and met a lot of very friendly people.

A Wedding Reception at Ettington Chase

Event-Pics were invited to Ettington Chase this month to photograph guests at the wedding reception of Gary and Lynsey. The hotel was full of family and friends and it was a great opportunity for us to get some fun images of the night.

Event Photography with Jack Nicholson

Event-Pics did an event shoot recently for Elite Travel Assocation at the Hilton Warwick. Jack Nicholson popped in to say hello (well, a very good lookalike of him). A great time was had by all.

Merino in Stratford-Upon-Avon

I did an editorial shoot at the designer store Merino in Stratford-Upon-Avon recently and met the wonderful Hannah and Abi. They are both very photogenic and were very happy to pose at the end of a hard days work.
