Some images from a studio shoot that I thought you may find interesting.
My brief was to give the items a warm summery feel hence the lighting effect simulating sunlight/shadows.

Bill Beaumont Textiles

A lot of my day to day work is not very interesting and sometimes very technical, but occasionally I get a job that is more visually appealing and today i have an image to share,

Bill Beaumont Textiles a company i have worked with for many years,called upon my services again to photograph their latest collection.

Lovely to see Hilary and Bill again.

Ye Olde Friars of Keswick

Visitors to Keswick will be familiar with the traditional facade of the shop right by the heart of Market Street run by John and Gina Webster and sons Michael and Richard. Photography was requested of the shop, and displays, as they are preparing for the launch of their Internet service in January 2010.

The stock is really amazing,selling a huge range of superb chocolates, buttery shortbread, unusual chutneys and mustard's, distinctive honeys and jams and an extensive range of delightfully different gift ideas for every season.

Although the shop has been established for over 80 years I learnt on the visit that they regularly visit trade shows/Fayre's throughout Europe seeking fresh new ideas to keep the stock interesting for all new and old visitors.

During the Christmas season the shop is packed with wonderful gift ideas and the hampers that make wonderful presents. Well worth a visit.
