James Ian Murphy

OMG!!  Where does the time go !  It’s a phrase that you often hear but the last couple of months have simply flown by at ImageStudio!  With several studio shoots, external shoots and also a bit of product photography its been a manic start to the summer.

Let me introduce James to you all, he’s the pride and joy of two of my best friends on the planet, and I managed to drag them into the Studio to have some shots done.  James absolutely loved the camera as well as the studio flash and had a great time, I’m hoping to see more of him in the future.

Here’s just a couple of images as a taster!

lovely, i love baby photography and these are just so cute

Food Photography, I’ll have a go!!

Now most photographers know that Food photography is a specialist area.  Its not just the photography its all the setup, getting the colours correct etc..  So when friends at Greens Cafe & Bistro in Grasmere asked me to take some photos of their beautiful food for future cook books and also advertisement, I decided I would have a go and see what the pictures looked like?

Now I’m leaving myself wide open to criticism on this one, I specialise in taking photos of people at weddings, special occasions, fashion etc and here I am talking to a chocolate brownie asking it to smile!!!

I’ve attached some images for you to see, they are all shot in full manual with a SB900 flash setup wirelessly behind a lastolite soft box (Which is fast becoming my weapon of choice for a lot of shots!!)

Have a look and see what you think, and go easy on me!!

Emma & Tim | Engagement Shoot

Its a great time when you meet clients when they’ve just got engaged. Tim and Emma wanted a set of photos just after he had popped the question, so we went out for a walk one sunday morning, and with very little help managed to get some great shots.

I love engagement shoots, nice and informal at a couple of locations, they are loads of fun, and as you can see the results are fantastic.

Many thanks to both Emma and Tim for letting me be part of this special occasion!

Louise & Shaun | Wedding

At the end of last year I shot a great wedding up in Scotland at Comlongon Castle just over the border.  After all the snowfall that we had I was driving up on the morning of the wedding, raring for my first full snowy wedding, only to find that once I got close there was no snow to be seen, none, nada, nothing, it was a beautiful day!

Louise and Shaun were lovely to work with, very relaxed, wanting a fun day for all their family and friends.  They had a great ceremony in the main room, followed by a drinks reception and meal, and then later on they had organised a ‘Celtic Hand Tying’ which I have to say was a first for me.  It was absolutely fantastic, taken with lots of humor and was a brilliant way to get everyone involved in their day.

I’ve added a few of their shots

 

Oops I have a Blog!!

OMG I have a blog!! Been that busy at the start of the year that I haven’t done much updating. I promise promise promise I will add some new photos asap!

That said I’ve designed a new brochure, sorted price lists and handling lots of enquiries so it’s not all bad. I’m also out doing engagement shoots which I just love , so expect some great photos soon!!
