Toronto

A one-day client sales trip to Toronto afforded me a few hours to see the city. Art installation, Flock of Geese in the Eaton Centre shopping mall Downtown Toronto, as viewed from the CN Tower Art installation in Toronto Airport, Ingo Maurer’s “Earthbound…...

Dance Photos in another Cambridge Agenda Magazine

Having graced the cover of last month’s Cambridgeshire Agenda magazine, my publicity photos for the forthcoming 800th anniversary Cambridge dance show featured again, this time in Cambridgeshire’s Style magazine. You can view more images from the two shoots (photoshoot 1, photoshoot 2, image used for flyer/poster, final composite image), or download a copy of the...

Light Matter – Final Composite Image

At the end of the second CCD photoshoot, I took turns with each dancer to get shots of them leaping in different poses and places, with the idea of putting together a specific image that I had in mind. I was hoping to play on two meanings of the word “Light”, in the dance show’s title. Firstly, the dancers are depicted as light things, as they float in...

Photoshoot with Jenny

After the second Cambridge Contemporary Dance photoshoot at the Senate House, I went with one if the dancers into Trinity College for a photoshoot. I’d photographed a CCD dance show, Impressions, in the first location (the columns under the Wren Library), so knew that it would be a great location for some photos. I love photographing dancers as models, as they...

Light Matter Publicity

From the two photoshoots with the Cambridge Contemporary Dance company dancers, this image was chosen for their poster and flyer, promoting their December show to celebrate Cambridge University’s 800th anniversary. The alcoves are on the west side of the Senate House, and made for ideal frames for the...

Senate House Dance Photoshoot #2

A few days after the first Cambridge Contemporary Dance photoshoot, a second shoot had been scheduled at the Senate House. We’d learned from the earlier shoot that “light”, leaping photos looked good, and the main door of the Senate House made for a striking and identifiable background. I took several more leaping shots on the grass, with the idea of compositing...

Corporate Event at King's College

One of my Cambridge-based web development clients, Adder, invited me to photograph their 25th Anniversary Ball, held in King’s College, Cambridge. The weather was perfect for a drinks reception on the backs, between the landmark of King’s Chapel and the River Cam, with entertainment provided by the only Penny Farthing stunt riding identical twins, Felix &...

Sunrise over King's Chapel

For the third time in one week, I found myself heading to the meadows at sunrise to get some photos. On the way to Grantchester, this was how the famous view of King’s College chapel...

Selwyn Chapel by Candle-Light

A photographer friend has been taking HDR photos of each college’s chapel in Cambridge, and invited me along to take some photos with him. He’d set up candles in Selwyn College’s chapel. While he was working on taking photos of the eagle lectern, I took a couple of wide shots of the organ and...
