A 6 week exhibition of approximately 20 of my photographs starts tomorrow at Boston Tea Party in Worcester. This is a really big deal for me, not only because it’s my first exhibition but also because Boston Tea Party holds a really special place in my heart: my grandfather used to live in Bristol and he spent many many hours reading the paper at the Park Street branch, and it was with his inheritance that I bought my very first SLR. Funny how things work out like that.

Here are a few of the photographs that are on the walls. Do come and take a look if you are local (or even if you’re not!). Professionally printed photographs (mounted & framed) start from just £30.

I have just created a new Facebook page – come and take a look!

On 22nd March I gave birth to our gorgeous daughter Eleanor Grace.

Once things have returned to “normal” I will be taking bookings for portraits and weddings so watch this space!

This week I am selling some of my cards at Arundel Gallery Trail. It’s a fantastic event – houses and venues all around the town open their doors every afternoon for 10 days to display & sell their art: photographs, sculptures, etchings, drawings, tapestry, paintings, installations.

So far it’s been a really great week – I’ve met loads of lovely people and have sold lots of cards. The most popular designs so far are:

So, if you’re in West Sussex this week, do come and take a look – if anything else, it’s a fab excuse to nosy round people’s front rooms! I am at Venue 41 with my uncle Duncan Gillies & family friend David Peduzzi until Bank Holiday Monday. Hope to see you there!

On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing David and Elisabeth’s wedding in Worcester.  We all woke up to heavy rain but fortunately this didn’t dampen any spirits and it was a really lovely, happy day.  Elisabeth is a natural beauty so a pleasure to photograph!

Here are a few of my favourite images from the day.

*** The other 450 or so are in the first three albums here. ***

Really hope you like them, David and Elisabeth. Here’s to many years of happiness.

I was challenged by a friend of mine to take more pictures of strangers, and she specifically suggested I take photos of the pillars of my local community.  I thought about it some more and decided to take photographs of the traders of my local community.

So, armed with camera and business cards, I started the project.  There are about 20-25 businesses (I haven’t counted yet) in this stretch of road as well as a park.  I may go up to the churches and to the primary school, we’ll see.

So far it’s been brilliant. I’ve had a fantastic response and it’s been really good to chat to shopkeepers in places I would never go in to (the Lorry Drivers recruitment agency isn’t normally on my list) and everyone’s been really friendly and have let me snap away and chat to them.  

A few examples, more to come in the future…
