We created an interactive web promo with Adobe Express.
This isn't the first one we've created, back in the days of Adobe Slate we created one to promote a holiday cottage in Spain that was very well received, but for some reason we've never repeated the exercise for our product photography studio in Shrewsbury. Which is a bit bonkers really! Read more
January 8, 2018 — Comments are off for this post.
This peculiar photograph is a flattened version of a 360° Panorama I created today of our studio. 360° Panoramas & Virtual Tours are very big in Europe and America right now and we think that with recent improvements to the UK's Broadband Infrastructure that the time may be right to investigate this branch of photography/video further.

How to Shoot Wine on a White Background is a companion piece to my earlier post How to Shoot Whisky on a White Background. The techniques are identical, except for the lighting. Read more

We've been working at Blists Hill, Victorian Town in Shropshire on a series of videos and photographic assets for their web site and social media. As a venue for a Steampunk weekend Blists Hill is difficult to beat.
Steampunk is a movement that has its origins in science fiction and has surfaced in fashion, music and film. Think Jules Verne, Mad Max, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Alice in Wonderland. Its a chance to dress up, parade and have fun. Read more
To paraphrase Randy Newman, there are no people like cat people. This is a fact. We have two rescue cats that started life in a bedsit in Camden Town shared with a human with poor mental health and twenty seven other cats. They have been a delight and so when Shropshire Cat Rescue needed a photographer to record the launch of their magazine "The Cat's Whiskers", we jumped at the chance, on condition we could also photograph the cats.
