Todays blog 27/6/12

Sorry blog world for I have sinned, it's been 3 weeks since my last blog! The last few weeks have been spent teaching, editing, repairing and a long weekend holiday thrown in.

My first job is to thank Steve Cadogen from Something for daisy http://somethingfordaisy.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/our-top-4-photography-tips/ for his very nice mention and recommends. I took some product shots for melissa Masterton of the wonderful baby hats and accessories she makes and, as I am sure you will agree, look wonderful!

I have also been busy helping karen at Vibe Private Gym /www.vibesprivategym.co.uk we worked out a deal so that I took the shots and she reduced my waist line! so win win all round.

I have also been entertaining a few party shoots (5 to be exact) all great fun and very loud and for the pocket helping price of £50! anybody can book, there is even a pre hen party booked for July!

Tina Chatfield, Matt Walker, Anthony Elvy, Emily Dews, Roberta Curd, Sharon Goodyear, Jamie Craig, and kent Adult education have all used the studio in the past few weeks, some of them on more than one occasion, and all with very different styles and ideas.

Today I have click creative www.clickcreativedesign.biz using the studio, and doing the photography is the very talented young man that is David Bartholomew www.davidbartholomew.co.uk. As always, david is professional and hard working and extremely good with technology, even sorting out a duff trigger for me, cheers david.

This evening Kent Adult education will be using the studio www.kentadulteducation.co.uk for the 3rd time this month and once again they are employing the services of  local model Josie Scamell




















Josie is available for a variety of shoots and she is also a trained dancers, so she can help you to show off your latest collection with amazing poise and and grace.

Well tomorrow is another busy and full day, starting with Emily dews /emilydewsphotography.co.uk and finishing helping Matthew Walker www.matthewwalkerphotography.com at an event at Leeds castle.

So have a great evening everybody you might even squeeze a BBQ in!

Well after the shenanigans of the weekend it's business as usual at Photoshoot Studio Hire. 3 bookings and shoots most of the day.

Once again the very professional Matt Walker www.matthewwalkerphotography.com
is in for an hour shoot for one of his neighbours (Carley Town) who has started a Dress making company called 'amilie jae'. Carley has advised me that the site is due to go live shortly, but here is the link anyway www.amilyjae.co.uk. The dresses have been made for young girls and are designed mailnly for Weddings and are beautiful!

later on it's one of those rare occasions that I get to do some photography for a family shoot. I am so looking forward to doing this shoot and producing some great images for my client. I also have the ability to print on the day if the client wants that, and prices start from as little as £5 for a postcard shot up to £12 for A2.

The last shoot today is for jeff baker and his family, no work for me but it allows me to get on with writing a business plan for the new project.

A special thank you to Matt for letting me borrow one of his lenses, Cheers Matt.

Lastly another image I took for www.somethingfordaisy.com have a nice day.

A little late 1/6/12

last of the sun? lets hope not for this Diamond bank holiday weekend. The past couple of days have been a little quiet but i have had some interesting conversations, which I will talk about later. First I want to share some links with great local companies that have used the studio recently.

On the 17th of April (and in collaboration with Digitom www.digitom.tv) Tube Monkeys scaffolding  www.tubemonkeys.co.uk used ST1 to photograph and video their new patented product TheTubeMonkey www.thetubemonkey.co.uk a very simple but brilliant idea which will make life as a scaffold erector much easier and save any scaffolding company £££££££'s. this forward thinking company can help you with your building projects or if you need to simply paint the Fascias!

On the 17th and 25th of May  Nexus/h used the studio for a shoot for Dunkin Brands (UK) www.facebook.com/baskinBRrobbinsUK/  a great shoot using 3 Corgis, who left their mark! but only by the amount of hair that needed to be Vacuumed up at the end of the day.

This afternoon, the studio will be entertaining Mike Lowndes www.MikeLowndes.com who will be doing some short videos of local business people wanting to tell the world about what they do (me included) I will hopefully post mine in the not to distant future for you all to have a giggle at!


Some of you might know about the idea of building a Media/Business/studio hire facility that I feel is needed in the town. Firstly I must apologise for not being at last weeks meeting arranged by Gaynor Edwards and Jez Timms Directors of Torpedo Juice www.torpedojuice.co.uk and to the other people that attended. I am in the process of producing information about the facility and I have started a business plan. I have had some meetings with KCC and TWBC and we will be looking at some potential properties to build the centre in the very near future. This will be a brilliant opportunity to showcase all the talent in the area, so any comments or suggestions would be very welcome.

I have a business FB page www.facebook.com/Photoshootstudiohire and it would be lovely if you could come and like it and I am also on Twitter @photoshootstudi and linkedin Paul Meyer.

I hope you all have a wonderful Bank Holiday and enjoy queenies Diamond Jubilee and of course that England win!
