What's Happening at Photoshoot Studio Hire
Sorry father for I have sinned, it's been 5 months since my last blog. Truth is, being so busy really is no excuse for not telling you about the wonderful clients and experiences at the studio.
Well Photoshoot Studio hire is now in it's 3rd year of business and I have no regrets about setting up. I now have many regular and loyal clients without whom this business would not be the success that it is today, so thank you all.
This past November and December have been the busiest ever, with shoots varying from Portraits to parties and bands to bumps! I even had the Bootleg Beetles www.bootlegbeatles.com here for a day!
One of my most memorable and emotional shoots that I personally did was with Sharron Goodyear lollipopsandlittleones.blogspot.co.uk Together, we followed Sharron's pregnancy finally resulting in the birth of Jake, a beautiful 7lb 6oz little boy. Sharron made a great sequence on her blog with a backing track ' the power of love' which was very emotional, thank's for making a grown man cry Sharron.
On the 20th of December Harry Hurlock www.facebook.com/harryhurlock hired the whole studio for his art exhibition, which I think was a great success and also proved that Photoshoot Studio Hire works as a venue as well as a studio.
Friday was my first venture to the SWPP (Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers) convention held at the Hilton metropole. So many exhibitors so little time. I met friends of mine Sam yardley www.samyardleyphotography.com and Tina Chatfield www.livelifephotography.co.uk which was great and always nice to catch up.
One of the main reasons for going was to look at the latest green screen technology which would allow me to drop in any backdrop into any Image easily and so offering another feature to the studio. Another important chat I had was with Mitsubishi, I am looking into offering a Kiosk service in reception at the studio. Currently I can print up to A2 very competitively but smaller (4x6) print are difficult to to produce in larger and faster quantities. An A2 Print for example is currently £12 but a 4x6 is £5. I want to change this to offer my clients and the local community a quality photo print service.
This weekend I welcomed Jonathan Bolland www.strobeme.com to the studio for a Family shoot. Jonathan and I are going to be teaching some of the AXA PPP photography club members, basic studio set ups, using Studio 1s infinity cove and studio 2s backdrops to demonstrate different techniques, using 2 models. This should be an educational and fun shoot.
My thanks also to ;-
Kim Crowhurst for commissioning me to do her portrait and for the shots I did for her salon www.facebook.com/ScissorSnipperSouthborough
Leanne Harris Beale who has an HND in photography and is using the studio on a regular basis
The fantastic Baby and portrait photographer Janet penny www.janetpenny.com
and finally Anthony Elvy www.anthonyelvyphotography.com who has a lovely style and is great as your wedding Photographer.
well that's it for today don't forget you can hire the studio for only £25ph or you can hire me and the studio for £75ph and on top of that I offer printing, passport shots, basic camera and studio training and costume hire.
I hope to see you very soon at the studio but in the meantime please watch my latest Video http://youtu.be/LvVjWmBY_kU giving you a little insight into my idea about Photoshoot Studio Hire, thank you for reading and watching my blog.
