One of the hardest things to do is to juggle jobs.  I already have a busy and very demanding job. It is photography based, although has become more of a management and administrative role, which obviously opens new challenges, but I really miss the hands on with a camera side.  especially in the studio.  So, this year, I am planning to up the anti on my studio work.

What better way to do that than to offer people lots of free stuff?

Now I have run these things before and they have proven to be very popular.  So I am going to open up a studio for a weekend, here in sunny (not today) Middle Wallop.  I have booked the community center for the 28th and 29th Jan 2017 and plan to open for some studio portraits.

Saturday will be for children.  These will be for one on one portraits, so I can work on some new styling (lighting) ideas.  Each shoot will cost £5.00 (what?  I thought it was free?), well yes, the £5 goes to Cancer Research completely and the shoot will last for 30 mins (so I will need you all to book 30 min slots), and you will receive a complimentary 8 x 6 in print from the shoot.  OK, you don’t get anything for free, right?  Well that’s true, I guess.  I will need a signature which will allow us to use the images for promotional purposes, although this does not mean we will.

We will be looking at making some really stylish contemporary portraits, that you would love to hang as works of art on your wall.

On the Sunday, we will be doing the same, but with your pets.  I have done these things before, so I do kind of know what I am getting myself into, lol.

As I said, all the booking fee will go to Cancer research, as this is an ailment that pretty much touches us all.  Who has not had a family member or friend that has not had to battle?

The whole point is that we want to do something with the community, build a reputation and if we can make the odd sale or booking then that is an added bonus… 😉

We will have some other work up and on display.  so feel free to come and visit.

Oh, did I say we can do family portrait sessions and weddings too?  No?  Well, now you know.  We look forward to seeing you there?

To book, you will need to call either Roxy or Mark on 01264 781461 and when prompted say ‘Studio Open weekend’.  Please call in the evenings though, after 1830.

Please note that this is a session for individual portraits only, no groups or multiples this time.  We will be looking at running other themed shoots during the year, so send us your ideas.
