Chesterfield Ballet School

And a little scout for good measure...

Chesterfield

Having a long overdue catch up...lots of photography has gone on in the past few months, here's just some of it!

In late October I headed oop north to Chesterfield for a commission. The photos are to be put up in Chesterfield hospital which has recently celebrated its 25th anniversary of being open. I was asked to take photos of the people, businesses and landmarks in Chesterfield who were celebrating some sort of 25th anniversary in 2009. Along with a lovely researcher I visited and photographed so many fab people in the town...click on the photo to find out more info about who is in the picture.

Kidney Life Magazine

Got a nice surprise the other day when the quarterly issue of Kidney Life magazine came through the door and I saw that I was on the front cover along with some of my photographs! There is an article inside which I wrote, I'll scan that in later and post it up.

Gifts of Life postponed

Just a quick blog to say that unfortunately the Gifts of Life exhibition (which was due to go ahead in December) has been postponed for many reasons BUT it will go ahead in 2010 and be bigger and better than before so I'll update the blog as soon as I hear any news!

I am working on the book as I type though so will post details up on how to purchase a copy asap.

Save Jess-tival

Here's some photos from Save Jess-tival - Live Life Then Give Life's amazing organ donor awareness concert. It was held a couple of weeks ago in an fantastic basement venue in Shoreditch. It was a great success with loads of people turning up and everyone enjoying a brilliant night of music, comedy and entertainment.

Little update...

I've had a massively busy couple of weeks with lots of nice photography work happening. A couple of Saturdays ago I held a stand at Spittalfields Market as part of Photomonth, selling lots of prints. (see below)

I've also exhibited in the PhotoOpen exhibition in the Truman Brewery in London and attended the launch which was pretty awesome as there were so many cool photos being exhibited so I felt pretty honoured to be included.

A month or so back I did some work along with Dan Usiskin on the art work for the new Innocent Veg Pots. Two of those were released this week, one of them being a yummy mushroom rissotto, so next time you are in your local supermarket check out the photos in the inside of the cardboard sleeve on the pot.

I've also just been on a four day shoot in the lovely Chesterfield oop north. The local hospital are currently celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of their buildings and I was given the brief to take photos of people and things which have a 25th anniversary coming up this year too. I think I photographed 20 different things in the end so it was a lot of hard work though I had an amazing time. I took photos inside a neonatal unit, on top of a police station, at an old people's social club, within the market stall and even a newt amongst others! Am currently wading through the hundreds of photos I took, and will post some up in due course.

I'm still working on Give and Let Live and only have one more shoot left I think! Sad times, I've enjoyed it so much! Not long till the exhibition starts now...!
