Something Different!

Just a few pictures for a small personal project we've been working on this week, as if we didn't have enough on! Along the same lines as the Book Project, but with a distinct Arts and Sports theme, the project aims to portray children/young people from the region participating in their "passion" - be it ballet, cricket, playing the trumpet or gymnastics - to name but a few in a location showcasing the beautiful Yorkshire landscapes we know and love.

So arts, sports and culture but in "different" locations. See what you think....







This is more from the complete shoots apologies in advance at the small picture size - it's the best we can manage when uploading to the blog!




Our thanks to "the cast" (in order of appearance): Natalie, Sam, Chris, Danielle and Rebecca. The pictures were shot on location at Plumpton (sometimes called Plompton)Rocks and Hunmanby Gap.

Special People In Life

Every now and then we come across what we would describe as being one of lifes' "special people". There aren't many of them around - so when we do meet one they really stand out.

Amy is one such person. We've had the pleasure of photographing her twice now - the first time on her own - shortly after she had got married and the second time with her beautiful daughter Bo.

Her first pictures formed part of an exhibition of many of our award winning images which was held in "Alberts" Restaurant in Harrogate http://www.albertsharrogate.co.uk/ and everyone commented on them - she had a very unique "look" about her in the pictures. They were all "low key" images - i.e. shot on a dark background and had a bit of a moody feel to them (not like Amy at all!).

Her second pictures were taken only last week and showed a very different Amy as she played with Bo - who was delightful. We had a great time trying to coax smiles from Bo and some great expressions from her along the way.
