” good work - I really like the photos – Anastasis likes them as well – great!!!! Maybe see you in the future”  regards, Raphael.

Hotel and interiors photography for Vision Hotels

Hey – no pics this post!

But prepping for long haul south tomorrow Sat 30 July to Teignmouth, Bognor Regis, Weston Super Mare and Windermere to photograph Vision Hotels . Vision Hotels operates exactly like a commercial business, but are different because they are a non-profit organisation and are part of Action for Blind People.

Umm… 24 hour driving and photography for a week – cool.

Thanks Jill at The Suite Company

PR Photographer Edinburgh – Taste of Spain 2011

A real weekend fiesta of Spanish dance, music, food and a giant paella helped brighten an at times wet Spanish Tourist Board promo event on The Mound Edinburgh.

Spain’s principle holiday areas were there to promote a sun destination which wasn’t lost on a somewhat damp Saturday (Sunday turned out good). I was booked for 2nd year by Lotus UK the London PR agency appointed by the Spanish Touroist Board.

Wedding photography John Hope Gateway Edinburgh

Lisa and Jamie were married in Thailand a few weeks before they had their reception back in Scotland in June 2011.

I had the pleasure of photographing them along with family and friends at the fabulous John Hope Gateway at the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh. A chilly (June!) night didn’t put Lisa off from photos around the gardens and at the Glasshouse which she had visited often since childhood. There are too many great locations to choose from so we weren’t stuck for choice. 

“Thank you so much for the photos which we received.
They are fantastic, there are some real special ones there which I am looking forward to developing, framing and showing off!!
Many thanks again for all your efforts, you really captured the whole evening and for all your help and patience with all my requests!”

Lisa.

Last minute lip touch up from sister.

5 Star Self Catering Edinburgh

Photographed 3 top notch 5 star self catering apartments bang in the middle of Edinburgh yesterday.

21 Hanover St is literally a stones throw (and a bad one at that) from the National Galleries of Scotland so seconds from Princes Street et al. Fabulous rooms which were a pleasure to photograph.

Nitrogen & Global Change – Conference Edinburgh 2011

Ex BBC journalist Lousie Batchelor was the presenter of the opening sessions at the Nitrogen conference at the Edinburgh Conference Centre. I said a quick hello as I had met her and her husband many (many) years ago when I ran a hotel over at Loch Lomond – both keen on jazz and he played in one of the bands I hired to play at the hotel on Sundays in the summer.

Her gleaming smile was still very much part of her persona.
