The most recent interior photography I carried out for Plus Rooms was of a fabulous family kitchen which had been designed with different zones working within the one space. There was the kitchen area for food preparation with an island and stools, a music area, a swinging chair attached to the ceiling and sofa made up the chill out area with a large TV and finally there was a dining space with table and chairs. A great space for a growing family!
Fidelity International asked me to take interior and exterior photographs of their building in Canon Street London last week to record their Purple Light Up Day. The brief was to show the light up from the inside of the building out, showing the mechanics of the actual lights and the view outside, particularly St Paul’s cathedral opposite. They also needed shots from outside showing the building at various times and different ambient lighting. Weather wise of course it was chucking it down all day! This hampered my ability to nip in and out of the building as I would have liked, but despite the rain I got some nice shots particularly later on when the rain created great reflections on the pavement. Thanks to the wonderful security man who came out with me and held my umbrella whilst I focused the tilt shift lens!
It was a very wet, snowy day and a visit to Spains Hall Estate last week to photograph their venison for their website. The pictures they had really needed updating and so as I had photographed their holiday lets they asked if I could do some food photography. A couple of hours in a very cold meat storage facility and some herby props resulted in some fairly decent photos of some raw cuts of venison!
I was asked to return to Spains Hall Estate in Essex to take some interior and exterior photos of their latest cottage that is now ready stay in. It is a beautiful thatched cottage on the Estate with views across fields to the picturesque village of Finchingfield. Spains Hall Estate is a working farming estate, they are also the proud home of the first beavers to return to Essex for 400 years! They offer guided tours, wildlife photography tours and holiday lets. They also produce seasonal wild venison sustainably sourced from the estate. (see next post!)
We popped into London on Sunday for a walk and started off in Regents park which was a lot busier than I expected especially near the pelicans and the other wildlife in the park. We ended up walking past the Treasury and along Whitehall to Trafalgar square and then back down the Mall. Lots of the roads were closed to traffic because of Remembrance Sunday and it was so quiet which made it perfect for cyclists. I even managed to get a fairly decent hand held shot of Buckingham Palace!
