A Big Thank you!!

Take a look at some of the Brides & Grooms, and Bar and Bat Mitzvah boys & girls I had the pleasure in photographing this year, a big thank you to all!!

Silver Award!!

Wow! Delighted to announce that I won a Silver award from the SWPP (Society of Wedding & Portrait Photographers) for the the image above of a newborn baby.

All in the name of art!

Here's a picture taken at the recent Barmitzvah of Jonny Chern. I took this while lying on the floor, all in the name of art!

From my Flower Baby collection

Here's another in my Flower Baby collection, this is of the lovely Joshua, just 3 weeks old! Still offering free sessions for newborn babies, no more than 4 weeks old, instead of my normal £50 sitting fee.

Newborn Babies!!

Further to my request back in July for newborn babies, here's a photograph of the lovely Mali, at just 7 weeks old (although she was 5 weeks premature, so does that make her 2 weeks old?) If you know of a newborn baby who would like pictures like this, please let me know, as I am still offering a free session for a short time only!

My first Asian Wedding!

Had the opportunity to photograph an Asian wedding this week, here is one of the many images shot over two days, this one taken last Thursday at the henna ceremony evening.

Something Different

Portraits with a difference! Bored of the white background look, then why not have your child photographed in a setting like this, still in the comfort of your own home, as I add the setting digitally afterwards!!

Madness!!

Last Sunday Lee Thompson, Saxophonist with the world famous group Madness took to his bike to the streets along with over 20 other volunteers to raise money for Cherry Lodge Cancer Care and Child Reach. The 20 mile plus route took riders on a picturesque ride around Barnet, Herts.

My Photographs published!!

I was delighted to have a spread of my photographs featured in this week's 'Jewish News'. They were of a Batmitzvah I photographed in March, if you want to take a look either pick up a copy or click on this link:

7 Days

What do Chandeliers, a 9 month old baby, children planting at a new adventure playground and a 13 year old Barmitzvah boy have in common? Well they have all been photographed by me in the last 7 days!

Photo Tips (an occasional series)

Photo Tip!! Don't be afraid to break the rules, come in close and crop heads if necessary and be surprised at the results! Here's a portrait from a Batmitzvah I shot at the weekend as an example.

What does your profile picture say about you?

First impressions make the biggest impression! So what does your Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. profile picture say about you? (yes I know mine is a logo :-)). Why not hire me to take some headshot's for you at an all inclusive price you wont believe!! And remember you don't even have to visit a studio, I'll come to you.

Lily & Iona

Enjoyed a fun portrait session with the lovely Lily and Iona last weekend. Using my portable studio the session took place at their Auntie's home and the girls (and me!) had a great time.

Wedding & Barmitzvah Fair

GP Photography will be exhibiting at the Wedding & Barmitzvah Fair being held this Sunday 21st March at Sopwell House Hotel, Cottonmill Lane, St Albans, AL1 2HQ. Why not come along and say hello anytime between 11.00 and 4.00pm.

Leila Again

You may recall I photographed the lovely Leila at 3 months (see earlier post). Well now I've been back to photograph her again at 6 months and look how she's growing up fast!

The Best Camera?

A very common debate among photographers, whether amateur or professional is 'what's the best camera?' Well in fellow professional photographer, Chase Jarvis's opinion its whatever camera you have with you at the time! and I must say I agree with him. There's no point owning some expensive mega pixel SLR, if its sitting at home when that once in a lifetime shot appears before you. Ok, so the shot above of a colourful sunrise over Totteridge Cricket Club taken this morning wont make the front pages of any of the Nationals, but at least I had my iPhone with me to record it!
