Viva!

Anyone who lives in Lewes will have had the Viva Lewes! magazine through their letter box. It’s a fantastic local publication and one of my favourite parts is the “Where we Work” feature, where four local professionals are pictured in their place of work (the clue is in the name, huh?) by a local photographer. 

Well for April’s magazine, that photographer was yours truly and the professionals are Children’s Authors. Who knew that there was such a proliferation of creative talent in this small town? 

This was a fantastic piece of work to be involved in. The project gave me the opportunity to meet with some wonderfully talented people, find out about their work and their history (I’m nosey, what can I say?) and get a little creative myself. Here are a selection of the photos we took during the project. 

The featured authors are:

Matt Carr, Leigh Hodgkinson, Miriam Moss and Will Mabbitt

 

For anyone interested in the geeky aspects of this, the camera used was a Fuji X-t2 with 16-56 2.8 WR lens. The strobe for Matt and Will’s photos was a Godox 860ii, with Magmod modifiers for Matt’s portrait and a Saberstrip for Will’s. For the photos of Leigh and Miriam, I used a Godox AD200 with the Westcott Orb softbox.

Lesley and Theresa

I was honoured, earlier in August, to have been asked to photograph the civil ceremony between Lesley and Theresa. It was a lovely day, despite a quite notable hiccup, but all worked out in the end. Here are a small selection of the photos from the day.

On November 30th 2011, around 2 million public sector workers came out on strike to protest at the Government’s proposals to increase pension contributions, delay retirement age to 68 and pay less pension at the end of it. That all seems fair and proper, right? No, not to me either.
