Early Summer 2020. (please scroll down for news)
28th June 2020
Well lockdown almost over I hope (For the time being at least), though like most I'm being ultra careful not to spread the deaded lurgy. (Did you know that the expression 'lurgy' originated from the Lurgi coal tar plant in Fife, Scotland that produced around 20% of Scotlands coal tar gas up until about 1974... but thats not going to help the Covid pandemic I know)....
I'm starting up the photography tuition again as 1:1 and 2:1 private sessions with full 1 1/2 - 2 metres social distancing, gloves & masks as required etc. Please do contact me on the CONTACTS page on this website, and for more details please check out my TUTORIALS PAGE on this site. All sessions are bookable and will take place outdoors at a location in or near the Forest of Dean though I can travel further if needs be. I'm also quite flexible with the weather so please dont worry if it rains - we can rearrange at no extra cost should it decide to rain.
ABOUT PROM PHOTOS, FAMILY SHOOTS & HOLIDAY PHOTOS: A lot of young people missed their leaving proms this year and although the lockdown was tough on everyone, at least us 'oldies' are probably more able to accept the huge changes thrust upon us. I'm not sure how I would've coped if a pandemic had hit in the 70's - probably really badly - and I really feel for these young people - my own daughter amongst them.
If you live locally and would like to create a Celebratory Outdoor 'Event' with a few friends under the new social rules, I'd be delighted to photograph 'prom' portraits for you. The price is £55 for a DVD of 25 edited photos to use as you wish. Each shoot will be done outdoors and come dressed in your prom clothes or anything you wish, and we can arrange to meet up in a beautiful forest setting. As before full social distancing will be maintained and I can use a longer lens to achieve this. I do have full DBS checks. Please CONTACT ME at this page on this website. Also now that Family Shoots and Single Outdoor Portraits can also be arranged - if you are finally meeting up with small groups of family/friends out in the Forest. I can quote separately for groups up to (currently) 5 people. Please do give me a shout and I can meet you at either a location outdoors or in the grounds of your accomodation - Whichever you prefer.
On a more positive note - the lockdown has been beautifully warm and sunny and everything is blooming ultra early, and Im getting worried that it might all be over by August with no flowers left to see... Heres a few pics from recent shoots. Please Enjoy!
