Brighton Street Art - Cycle Tour

About this time last year, I got to indulge in two of my favorite things and photograph a cycling street art tour of Brighton using the Brighton Hire Bikes.

I love street art and graffiti and cycling is very close to my heart as I cycle every week and am super passionate about it. So getting the chance to photograph and document this tour and learn about Brighton’s art scene was a wonderful experience.

More of that please.

Brighton interior design photography

One of the many things I love about photography is that no two shoot are the same and there really is a wide variety of subjects to photograph. Each shoot is a challenge and there is a pleasure in learning something new every time.

I may be known for my professional people photography and portraits, head shots, company profile etc. and my commercial work, but I love taking interior and architectural photography projects on as well.

This was a commission for a Brighton building and design company who wanted me to document some recent work for them.

Brighton Gin Distillery Commercial Photography

Brighton Business Photography - Brighton Gin Distillery

I was very fortunate to be able to spend a wonderful afternoon at the Brighton Gin distillery, taking photos of the who process of making Gin.

I really learnt a lot and loved every minute of it. It’s given me a greater love for Brighton Gin and the lovely people who run the business.

The thing that I was most surprised and impressed by, was the list for the staff’s tea and coffee. I loved the way that everyone was so precise about the length of time the tea bag should stay in the cup for. The exact measurements of coffee and sugar for everyones brew. I’m also sure that I saw a paint sample chart for how milky certain people like their tea. This I really respect.

Photographing the Brighton Victorian Sewers

Something i've been wanting to do since I moved down to Brighton in 1992 was see the victorian sewer network and go on the tour which used to be organised during the Brighton Festival.

Well i'm very pleased to say that I got the opportunity to do so and to photograph the experience for Viva Brighton Magazine. We were given a private tour of this fantastic and fascinating environment and I tried to document it as best I could while shooting with the brief in mind. I learnt so many things about sewage and how the Victorians over engineered things, it was as I said fascinating. 

If you ever get the chance to go on the tour, I highly recommend it, just don't wait 25 years like I did.

Company brochure photography

It's always nice to see your work in it's finished form for a commercial client. I love the way that graphic designers work with my photographs and incorporate them into company brochures. I'm so used to seeing them in a 3 x 2 ratio and straight out of camera, that it's really interesting seeing how they are manipulated and changed to work with the final graphics.

So this was a shoot that I did for Riverside Environmental Services via a design agency, a while back where I got to spend a day with them at their business headquarters and see the kind of work that they do there. It's always really useful to spend time with clients and see how the business works as I feel this is reflected in the final photography.

If you're interested in finding out how I can help your business, just get in contact. I'd love to hear from you.
