Megan Baker House Photography Exhibition at Malvern Theatres




The Megan Baker House exhibition has hit the road, and is on exhibition for the next month at the prestigeous Malvern Theatres.

The Theatres is a lovely modern light building, and about 700 people a day pass through it's doors, so we hope they like the pictures.

It makes a change from teaching photography courses!

Megan Baker House Photography Exhibition






An exhibition of our work opened last night before touring England, and we feel the need to tell everyone about it! It's for charideee, so we don't like to talk about it, but we spent a week (pro bono) at Megan Baker House, where they use conductive education to help people who have been brain injured - perhaps by cerebral palsy, head injury or Parkinson's Disease. Megan Baker House provides conductive education this for free, and people travel there from all over the country to re-learn how to use their limbs. They have no funding from central government, and constantly need to publicise themselves and their work.

To find out more about their work have a look at www.meganbakerhouse.org.uk

The exhibition will be touring to Malvern, Worcester, Hereford and Liverpool, among other UK cities.

We photographed the clients using very wide apertures to accentuate their individuality and to blur a cluttered background. It's a working space, not a studio! The trick to this was not making it look like torture, but not making it look easy either.

Caro Sweet





We were asked to photograph the famous sculptor Caro Sweet's open evening for Worcestershire Life at her studio in Bransford. What an amazing woman! It's fascinating to see such a diverse collection of sculptures! It also turned out that we know each other...how fab to hook up again!

Rocking Piano Man at Linton Festival!





Linton Festival is fab! We were photographing for next year's publicity. Set in the grounds of a pub, the atmosphere was electric, and despite a few drops of rain, nothing dampened the spirits of the bands or the audience! We were particularly chuffed with these photo's of The Rocking Piano Man, Matthew Lee and his band. We think they really capture the atmosphere!

Dog Photography

Worcestershire Life magazine asked us to cover the Three Counties Championship Dog Show (Gundogs). Here's Indra, owned by Rita Abbott. She's a Spanish Water Dog...having a bad hair day...or is it a good one?













Here is judge John Barber hard at work.
