green and delicious

I use internet search engines a lot, and often before a shoot - I like to know something about who or what I’m photographing. Ok - I’m nosy by nature - though I prefer to say I have an endearing natural curiosity...and helps get my brain working before I even see the place, person, or product.

I know the Welsh word for cheese

It's caws. And I know this because...?
I know this because I visited the dairy at Rhyd y Delyn Farm on Anglesey, where Menai Jones and her family make a range of really wonderful cheeses, including a camembert style, and one with samphire, which gives the green flecks you can see in one of the pictures I took. As you drive into the farm, there are the cows/caws whose milk makes the cheese, grazing all around you, or chewing the cud contentedly under the big, spreading trees. Menai and her daughter Elin are pictured here, in the spotless dairy.

the sweetest thing...

At the wonderful Forever Manchester Ambassadors event last night; was blown away by the yummy food, which was supplied by the Mark Addy and the English Rose Bakery, a delicious ;-) new business that makes the most gorgeous macaroons. Just look at that presentation - little wonderfulnesses in tiny tissue lined boxes.

The new iSleeve™ hit Manchester this week, a beautiful, luxurious, natural leather cover for an iPad or iPhone, in a range of colours.
The pop-up shop at 6 King Street looked absolutely wonderful tonight at the opening party, glowing like a jewel-box in the dark, wine flowing, lots of smiles...

I've just finished another shoot for the gorgeous iSleeve - capturing images of more luxury materials for the beautiful iPad and iPhone covers of sumpuous leathers. suedes and patents. iSleeves are hand made in Manchester, and although only just launched this month, are flying out of the pop-up shop at 6 King Street in Manchester. Great to be part of the team, guys!

product photography

When asked to shoot products, there's always a pause in the conversation, at least at my end, while I wait to hear not only what the products are, but, importantly, where they are! Sometimes a delivery to the studio will follow, and I set up what equipment I need and get on with it. Sometimes, though, I have to go where the product is to get the shot - always interesting. I was approached by a wondrous glass company, that designs, manufactures and installs contemporary coloured, stained, kilnformed-fused hot glass, and has products installed across the country.
