Studio taking shape

I am in the process of converting my double garage into a photographic studio and work continues on this. I hope to have this completed next week. Once finished the studio will have a large vinyl backdrop and have Bowens lighting in place ready for portrait work. I will continue to use outdoor locations and larger studios for larger shoots, but the home studio should be a great resource in helping me offer excellent photography services and to keep my costs down which I can then pass on to my customers. Once the studio is finished I will post images on the blog and on my website. So keep checking back for progress pics.

Evening Post and local website interest

Since I placed an advert this weekend just gone in the Evening Post, I have had a number of interesting calls and emails about providing portrait and wedding services, which is great. I have also placed adverts promoting my special offers on various local websites (Bradley Stoke Matters, MyThornbury and MyYate).

I will continue to promote my services in and around Bristol.

Sunday 23rd May Shoot

On Sunday I held an all day portrait shoot in the Coalpit Heath Miners club in Coalpit Heath in Bristol (http://cphvh.webs.com/). We had a number of portrait sessions booked in including the creation of a portfolio for a professional dancer, and some children and family portrait shots for several families. The day was a scorcher and I am so glad that the venue had air conditioning. It was the first time I had used my new vinyl backdrop which had arrived a few weeks back on a metal roll. Once installed on the backdrop setup it looked excellent and I was very pleased with it. The shoots went well and we also had the services of Ami our regular make up artist, she did a superb job and we will be using her services again soon for future shoots should she be available.
I am currently editing the images and will post them soon on my site (www.jesphotography.co.uk). Initial impressions look good.
Until next time
James
