How do you take a “good” photograph? After featuring on BBC Radio Suffolk yesterday (did you manage to catch it?) where I talked about the basic elements behind how to take a good photograph (and no, it does not involve Simply having an expensive camera) I thought that this would be a great opportunity to re-share one of my blogs, which I hope is helpful. In particular this one, covering some tried and tested methods for capturing great images using the rule of thirds as a guide.

Simply a wonderful start to the weekend as I recei

Simply a wonderful start to the weekend as I received this testimonial that warms the cockles of my heart from my toes up (and no, no bribes took place)! I had an enormous amount of fun and personal satisfaction on this commission capturing 20 Care Homes across the South East Region during a very difficult period (pandemic). I was delighted to have been part of their Nationwide marketing campaign capturing the properties, stories and care sensitively, naturally from a big distance whilst fully PPE’d up. The real care that goes on behind closed doors within the homes of the Group. You can learn more about the brief and how we worked together on each shoot in my blog, meanwhile I hope you have had a rewarding week in your jobs as have I and enjoy the weekend to the max as I will be. https://lnkd.in/dVpVPDzy

If you were looking to buy a property where would

If you were looking to buy a property where would you begin your search? Online? At the estate agents window? Wherever you start I would guarantee that the first part of the process involves looking at images for potential viewings - and how many properties will you reject because the pictures don't appeal to you?⠀
According to an American study homes sell 32% faster with professional photography and, after a recent photo shoot for a client resulted in their home attracting 11 viewings in one day (and selling after 10 days for £45k over the asking price) I am inclined to agree!⠀
>⠀
Whilst I can't guarantee to secure an inflated offer for you, if you are thinking about selling your property I would Simply love to make your images the best that they can be!⠀

I know that we often say 'a photograph is worth a thousand words' or 'show, don't tell' when talking about the power of images, but @guardian demonstrate this so wonderfully in their round up of the 20 photographs of the week - a visual summary of world news - all capturing poignant and distinctive moments in time and history. ⠀
Simply inspiring.⠀

Product images aren't just for Christmas🎄 (do I win the award or Boo for the first mention...)?! When I look back through my gallery of images there are some fantastic pictures that never fail to catch my eye. And if they stand out for me they will stand out for other people too. But creativity is key! Don't be tempted to do what everyone else is doing - be bold, be colourful, be unique and be seen.⠀ If you're not sure how to put the ooooh! into your product catalogue I am here to help.⠀

On lazy sunny Sundays what could be better than Simply enjoying Suffolk? I make no apologies for loving Suffolk. So much to enjoy here and will encourage everyone local to get out and pretend to be a visiting tourist. You end up finding out so more and going off the beaten track which means - adventure!! @biscuit_de_pug and I will be heading to Glenham Hall for today’s Brocante (camera in hand) but a trip to Snape too for a cuppa tea and a mooch is always a welcome stop. Where is your favourite place to go here in Suffolk? What would you recommend?

Regular followers of my blogs and social media will know how highly I rate natural light when taking photographs.⠀ Even on flat grey damp Bank Holiday days (think in mono)! I also think the adage 'show don't tell' is very important when it comes to capturing images for my clients - and this revisit of the shoot I did for Blackstone Kitchens is a great example of this.⠀ For this particular project I left Suffolk for their Essex showroom in the morning to make sure I could make the most of the daylight hours and really show the quality and craftsmanship of these beautiful cabinets.⠀ Copy the link to read more about the benefits of working with natural light.⠀

Remember Annie’s House, the lovely holiday let i

Remember Annie’s House, the lovely holiday let in Thorpeness I captured which happily became fully booked after listing with my new imagery? Well I’m Simply thrilled the client asked me back to capture and present her sister The Garden Apartment in Buckhurst Hill. This is a stunning and tranquil Garden Apartment holiday let just by Epping Forest and a stones throw from Lahhhndon, connected via the Underground. A stunning place that I’ll be booking next time I’m staying overnight in town. I’ve always said that getting the most from your property photography goes way beyond taking multiple shots from different angles. It doesn’t matter if it’s a holiday let, rental or you’re selling your home I feel it’s important to capture the true essence of a home, presenting it at its very best. Drawing upon a background in interior design and styling, I’m here to spot the great angles, little details and special features that will enable a property to stand out from the rest. Please contact me if you have a property you’d like capturing - I travel !!! Meanwhile you can find the Garden Apt at https://www.staybuckhursthill.co.uk/ - website image update/refresh happening soon.

Have you often thought about 'getting into' photography? Maybe your smart phone with its amazing camera and editing options has given you a taster?⠀

Although I hate to say it I can't help but notice an Autumnal feel to the air - or maybe the distinct lack of summer is just making me feel like that!⠀
If you are still looking for some summer holiday entertainment before we arrive in September then why not add a visit to The Photographers Gallery to your 'must do' list? (Although you don't have to limit yourself to a summer visit!)⠀
The gallery is described as "a place for the discovery, exploration and understanding of photography in all its forms", and with multiple exhibitions running it is a truly inspiring and interesting space.⠀

Producing high quality product images for your web

Producing high quality product images for your website, brochure, marketing literature or for E-Commerce and on line selling is essential when it comes to converting sales. The right imagery can mean the difference between a sale and a missed opportunity. Gone are the days when product photos had to be one-dimensional and only taken on a plain white background. These types of images still have their place, yet to really showcase a product at its best, it’s important to help your audience visualise it in their hands, their homes or on their person with lifestyle images and I did yesterday with my client @carpecrystals who came up from Kent with a stunning range of crystals and geodes. A wonderful day getting to handle and shoot some stunning pieces. I have a new love…geodes! If you have a product that needs capturing please call me for an informal chat. I’d Simply love to help and support you in showcasing your products and business. Cherry 07775 851827.

So after another Simply full on week I’m looking

So after another Simply full on week I’m looking forward to having a breakfast (or cake) here this weekend. Great to capture both sites of @honeyandharvey in Woodbridge recently and scoff their delicious goodies afterwards. Simply a bonus! Sorry, what do you mean cake at 9am is NOT acceptable? Bugger off. Who is joining me?

It may have passed you by, but 'World Photography Day' is held in August! Whilst there is a day to celebrate and acknowledge pretty much anything I do feel that this is one worth noting.⠀
I rather enjoyed this article about the day itself that then amassed the winners of various international photography competitions - a lot of inspiration and awe in one place!⠀
Which is your favourite?⠀

Throwback Thursday… So last year I captured a gorgeous holiday let in Thorpness called Annie’s House. Since the images went up the property had been fully let and the owner said it was down to the imagery (his words not mine). With the results he’s had he’s commissioned me to to capture another of his properties which is a long way away because, as he says “it is well worth the investment”. A profitable result for my client (and happy one) which Simply says it all and I am one contented bunny. If you have a property you’d like captured please do consider investing in professional images that don’t just capture a room from four corners but really sell the idea of what it would be like to be in and live in that home… I’d be Simply delighted to show you the difference it would make to showcasing your property and your bottom line.

“What’s your favourite subject to capture?” I get asked this all the time and I have to say the truth which is “all of it”. Love meeting new people and capturing a business, its people and story but earlier this week I got to indulge two together… Interior (my background) and food photography over the two Woodbridge sites of Honey & Harvey here in Suffolk. As a bonus I got to end the shoot with a stunning breakfast and before you ask, no I did not eat that cake however today is a new day and I Simply might just go back for more! Enjoy your weekend. What are your plans? .

Photographs are capable of sending such powerful messages to the brain - but in such subtle ways....
⠀
Just by using background details I can capitalise on this and add so much information to a shot - Simply! ⠀ Do you want an image that communicates your ability to lead and inspire people?
Then we could add a conference podium, even the hint of an audience. Is your role very much about freedom and pushing boundaries? Then candid shots, out of the office, can convey this. The possibilities are endless. ⠀ Let's work together to make it feel authentic and comfortable and create images you can be proud of. ⠀ I’d Simply love to help you.

Like so many of us I support a number of local charities, many of which are here in Ipswich. One of them is Home-Start Suffolk and was delighted today to be asked back to again capture their donated artwork from various artists for their forthcoming annual online art auction. Last year this online auction raised just over £6,500. Simply a superb result. I’ll share the link when the site goes live and I hope you all see and find a hidden treasure for yourselves whilst supporting others. In the meantime I got a super supporter badge, flowers and chocolates….top result, I Simply LOVE my job! Keep your eyes peeled peeps as there are some pieces in this auction you might just want to buy and hold on to for the future (know what I mean?)!!!! @homestartsuffolk

This was very much the case when I was commissioned to take a series of personal branding headshots for talented, fellow photographer, Mike Bowden of @corybrothers1842 .⠀ Luckily for me Mike liked the pictures I took and his appreciation of the shots ranks up there as one of the proudest moments of my career.⠀

“I hate having my photo taken. Really hate it”

Do you remember the days of camera film? And those little canisters (so useful for storing other bits and pieces too) that would roll around in the kitchen drawer until you finally got round to putting the film back in and taking them to be developed. What about the inevitable rolls that you could never remember what was actually on them - such a lovely surprise picking up that packet of photos! How things have changed!⠀ This little reminisce was inspired by this recent news story about a young lady who found a roll of film in her family home, except that when she had it developed the images weren't just of her family! What I really love is how she was able to use the technology of today to locate the people featured in the photos and reunite them....⠀Simply brilliant … https://buff.ly/3btGAjr⠀
