Photography life

Encouraged by my sales at the LeedArt event in Chelmsford I have just signed up to exhibit with the Untitled Gallery at Throgmortons, London EC2 week commencing 6th July. There will be fifteen artists in all, and actually the Untitled Gallery space will be in place for two weeks, but I opted to do one week only.

At the weekend I headed up to Leeds to experience a bit of City living for a change. Just being nosey really, getting a feel for the City. Last time I was there I was a little girl, so I don’t remember anything. Although I am reliably informed it’s all changed anyway, and judging by the amount of construction going on I can well believe it.

Didn’t get to experience a night on the town, as I started drinking wine on a empty stomach before dinner, which basically meant that by the time I had dinner, walked back to the hotel to change I was more interested in having a nap than painting the town red. Himself was not impressed!

I launched a new competition this week to win a Bluebell print, and the response has been fantastic. People obviously like Bluebells! Follow the competition link to your right to enter.

Earlier in the year I decided to expand my business into Kids photography, and the new website for this launched this week: www.blueeyeskidsphoto.co.uk Still early days, but I am encouraged by the response. It is something slightly different to the studio experience as I am shooting using natural light and capturing the different expressions of a child and putting 40 different photographs into one montage style print. Saves the parents the indecision of knowing which print to chose! I’m also photographing the child at home, and I think it makes for more relaxed & comfortable looking photographs when the child has their own special things around them.
