  • Doe Show 2009, day 2

    A return to the Doe Show at Ulting, Maldon, Essex today as the weather permitted the demonstrations to proceed in the fields. I was briefed to capture the crowds watching. Getting the timing, lighting, exposure, lens choice and angle of view correct are all you need to do!!

  • Passport photos

    Kathy & Steve called in for some Passport photographs and we persuaded them to sit for a quick portrait, just to demonstrate how much better they can look than passport photos!

  • The Doe Show 2009

    Today was the start of the Doe Show 2009, an annual event held at Ulting, Maldon, Essex which I have been booked to photograph for the last 8 years. The show attracts thousands of farmers from across the south-east of England.  The usual equipment demontrations in the fields were cancled today because of the frozen ground but the remainder of the show went ahead as planned.

  • CHEAP CREDIT CRUNCH DEALS!!!!!

    We were asked recently why we were more expensive than another photographer? Good question, however, perhaps the question should have been reversed ‘why are they so cheap?’

    Do they have any experience of photographing weddings? Do they have insurance? Do they have Photography Qualifications from BIPP or MPA, the only recognised UK Qualifing bodies? What quality are the albums and can they show you completed albums from full weddings? How long have they been in business or living at the same address? Do they let you know their address or is it just e-mail and a mobile? Do they have any client testimonials? Do they have back-up equipment of a high standard?

    The credit crunch may last a year or two – your wedding pictures should last a lifetime. Why risk a cowboy?

    We are extreemly proud of our reputation and longevity in the business and WILL be here to make sure you the get the service and products you pay for!
