Video and still photography of a funeral in Havant, Hampshire

This afternoon I attended a funeral along with a colleague to record in stills and film the sequence of events and so that the client could supply copies of the images to friends and family who are based abroad and who were unable to attend.

After the funeral service in Havant, the family went along to the Brookfield Hotel in Emsworth for some refreshments and a family reunion and you can can view the website of the hotel here: www.brookfieldhotel.co.uk

I have attached just a few images – as it was an intimate family event and was attended by around 30 people. I have chosen not to display any images of the faces of the guests as it was a very personal and naturally sad occasion at times. We combined some of the still images within the video and the video also included the sound track of all of the music within the ceremony. Couples and family groups posed for some portraits in the attractive gardens at the hotel for around 30 minutes. If you are organizing a similar event – why not contact me to see if I am free and might be available to cover yours? I can offer a very affordable rate for short time bookings, subject to my availability.

I thoroughly enjoy working at the Hotel and especially with their Wedding and Events Manager called Jamie Drew (01243 373 363) who coordinates all their weddings and other events.

Actress headshot photography in Portsmouth, Hampshire

Today was a commercial job. I was doing some headshot photography for Jo – I was working with Jo who required some actress headshots for her CV and directory listings. We opted for some naturally lit outdoor portraiture - so we headed off to Old Portsmouth.

I was asked to capture some images of Jo that she could use for directories, her website and promotional purposes - such as the Floodlight website. Photos of this nature are usually supplied as print ready JPGS so that the client can display them to prospective employers – either via print or more often web based media.

If YOU require any headshots for yourself, staff, band or team – please get in touch. Actors and Extras too – if you are an actor and require recent headshots, relaxed and correctly lit – please contact me to see what I can do. I can supply images, for a modest fee, to actors, writers, dancers, presenters, graduates or children and young performers.
