Lush Creative Showcase 2016
Lush Creative Showcase 2016 - Tobacco Dock, East London
The lovely 'Lushies' invited me along to be one of the photographers covering their 2 day 'Creative Showcase 2016' at Tobacco Dock in East London! It was a jam packed couple of days .... and for anyone saying events are a doddle.... let me tell you, I worked 31 hrs over 2 days (Shooting only.... not counting post processing at my desk over the weekend!!!) .... By the end, i was dead on my feet.... but what an amazingly colourful group of people ! Its always interesting shooting events photography for large corporate companies, as you get a good insight into their whole ethos for work, what makes them tick, and how they treat their staff....! I have to say, of all the companies i've worked for that are this big, these guys really are wonderful. From the CEO down to the junior shop assistants, they are all brimming with enthusiasm and juts general loveliness! They are indeed just LUSH!

Royal Ballet Photography
This week I am working at the 'World Travel Market 2012' at ExCel in London as 1 of 4 Photographers providing all the images for the world press. WTM2012 is the leading global event for the travel industry. As part of this amazing Global trade fair, the WTM team organize many cultural events for the various heads of States and Ministers in attendance. I was lucky enough to be selected to go along and photograph the Ministerial Dinner at the Mayors official London residency - Mansion House in the City. A truly amazing building and venue. I have to say, this is the sort of event photographers love! Fabulous interiors, great lighting and wonderful subjects. This was capped off by the Royal Ballet Company performing as a finale to the evening. I myself have never seen Ballet live, let alone ballet by the very best performers in the world. It was breathtakingly beautiful and elegant! The poise and grace, is truly mesmerizing. I hope you enjoy the photographs and hope to be able to do more of these if i can make further inroads now! Watch this space :)
This is why i love my job! Always different, always challenging and a lot of the time a privilege!

Events Photography for Peroni
Last night I shot the last of 3 events for drinks company ~ Peroni beer. These nights were put on around the country as 'experiential' events. One of the reasons I love doing event photography so much is that the venues are usually great, and I think you'll agree, the venues here were amazing! The first event was held in Liverpool Cathedral - which is in fact the largest Cathedral in Britain and the 3rd largest in Europe! When the lighting was fixed and the table set it looked spectacular, and had a wonderful feel! Then it was off to 'The Old Fruit Market' in Glasgow City centre. Its my first time in Glasgow and I really enjoyed it. I always make sure i walk around a city as much as possible so i can get my bearings and a feel for it. The Georgian Architecture was incredible, and it was soon evident to me that Glasgow is certainly one of the trendiest and hip UK city's i've been to in a while. The venue was also great, loads of character and you could just imaginee it as a thriving Fruit Market in years gone by.
Last night was the final location for the Amici-di-Peroni road show, so they ended on a high, literally.... at the top of Tower Bridge. Again a great location and a tad easier to get home from! ;) The weather was amazingly turbulent last night. Sunshine one minute then Hail and torrential rain the next.... i loved it and did manage to get a few snaps out of the window...
big thanks to Peroni for giving me such a great event to photograph ... look out for more in June this year ... ;)
