Baby and newborn photographer in Hampshire.

Today I did some studio portraits for a local family with a baby who is just approaching his first birthday. Done in a variety of different styles, I captured some individual and family portraits.
The children were local to me and came along via my 'watch me grow' - one year with three studio sittings type arrangements. I am also running a 'Bump to Baby' and newborn scheme via my website and various mailers I do for local families. It is a good idea to capture some images of your baby at intervals throughout the first year and starting from say around four weeks. If this appeals to you – why not get in touch and see what we can arrange. For bookings made in the very near future - sessions can be 'free' and so you'd only pay for any prints you wish to purchase. I hope to hear from YOU soon!!
The images will be available for viewing for parents and their families shortly after each session and there are a small selection posted here too, to give you an insight into my style and approach.

PR Photoshoot at Esso Petrol Service Station at the Hogs Back A31, Tongham, Surrey

Today was an interesting job for me and in an Esso Service Station near Farnham in Surrey - I was the PR photographer who was asked to capture some images at the location along with a local optician and lens manufacturer.

The press release will give you some more info about this event and my role:

Farnham driverrs to get on-the-spot eye tests
9.00am – 2.00pm, Tuesday 19 November 2013
Esso Petrol Station, A31, Hogs Back, Tongham, Surrey, GU10 1EU

On Tuesday 19 November, drivers in Farnham will be offered forecourt vision screening in a bid to cut accidents caused by poor eyesight.

Local optician, The Optical Studio, and Esso petrol station in Farnham have joined forces as part of a national campaign to help reduce the estimated 3,000 casualties a year where eyesight is a key factor.

Drivers visiting the garage will be offered a free check by optometrist Bejal Patel who will give on-the-spot consultations and advice.

The Mayor of Farnham, Councillor Patrick Blagden will be setting an example when he steps up to the mark to check his eyes are safe at 11am on Tuesday.

The initiative coincides with Road Safety Week (18-24 November) and forms part of the Think About Your Eyes campaign which aims to identify poor eyesight on the road and urge drivers to take extra care as the nights draw in and visibility worsens.

Dhruve Patel, optician from The Optical Studio said: “A recent study revealed one in six drivers in the South East struggled to read the number plate of the car in front and one in four worried as a passenger about their drivers vision.

“This is a great opportunity for people to become more responsible drivers and I would encourage anyone in the area to pop in and take advantage of the 30-second check. It may just save lives.”

Official Gosport Half Marathon Photographer - Martin Lewis Photographer

Today I attended the Gosport Half Marathon, hosted by the members of Gosport Road Runners Running Club: www.gosportroadrunners.org.uk They are a friendly and supportive crowd and the marshals and support crew do a fantastic job at this event which I have covered now for many years.
I was the official photographer for the event on 17th November 2013. The event website is here: www.gosportroadrunners.org.uk and it was a good turnout / entry level at approaching the 2,000 limit.
We had overcast, but mild conditions and so I managed to capture a good selection of images on the course. I photographed the promenade in Lee on The Solent and was able to capture images of the vast majority of runners as they ran towards home at around 11 miles.
The images will be available for viewing and sale to the runners very soon, typically the same day of each event I cover. A couple of images are listed here just to show you what I do & I have reduced the price of digital files for this event and to generate more good value / low cost sales. If you are an event organiser and might be interested in my photography services - please do just get in touch.

Today I was doing some PR and website type photography for a local and fab wedding cake supplier. I was working with Gemma who runs Tartufi Cakes in Southsea.
