My photo used on a billboard at Newcastle Central Station
Sep 22nd
Great feeling to have one of my pics be the first thing seen as you walk off the train at Newcastle, my home town. Would love it to have been one of my model shoots or an urbex picture, but I’ll get there eventually! For now I’m just really happy that the client loved the pics, and hopefully there will be more from the rest of the campaign going up in various locations.

Another book cover and a billboard
Sep 20th
| A good day for my photography, another image sold to be used on a book cover, this time to be used by the author S J Bolton. A preview of the image can be found on the right there. The book will be available soon from http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dead-Scared-S-J-Bolton/dp/0593064151 – This brings the total of book covers with my images to 7, and hopefully more in the pipeline to come soon. This particular image is from a derelict seminary, in one of the corridors.
I’m also waiting on the imminent posting of one of my images used in an advertising campaign taken on a shoot for a corporate client, that should be posted on a billboard in Newcastle Central Station any day now. ~Shepy |

Lucky gay pride rainbow shot
Jul 1st
The rainbow has been used as a symbol of gay pride since the late 70s, so I thought it quite cool to be passing the pink triangle in Newcastle last night just as a very vivid rainbow went across the sky.

Photography: Random Newcastle
Jun 21st
Sometimes when I go out shooting, I come back with only one or two images that I really like, so I don’t bother making a post. Well, I thought I would round up a couple from just such days, and post a bit of a mixed bag.

Photo published on book cover
May 19th
Today i got an excellent little piece of news, one of my photos has been used on a book cover, which in itself would be cool but it’s paid work as well which is even better :)
The book is a crime thriller by Mandasue Heller named Two-Faced, and the image going to be used is one I recently took while walking along the Tyne on a foggy night (in fact I went out solely to take pictures, almost didnt, so I’m glad i did in the end) Here is the image used, and a preview of the cover.

And more info can be found about the book on the publisher’s site.

Tyne at Dusk
Apr 25th
Last week when we were meant to have some great sunsets due to the volcanic ash, a friend and I headed out along the Tyne to get some shots. Below are a few of the pics, and credit to Paul White for the idea for the reflection shot of the Sage.

Photography – Prudhoe Castle
Apr 8th
Well, the light nights are officially here finally! A friend of mine Paul and I quite often head out on an evening to go taking pics, but it was a refreshing change not to have to shoot long exposures and night shots now the clocks have gone forward!
We ended up just catching the Golden Hour at Prudhoe Castle. Here are a few of the pics:

Launched my new photography business
Mar 30th
After taking photographs for a few years as a hobby, and doing weddings for friends etc, I’ve decided to make a bit of a business of it.
Operating with a couple of friends, I’ve spent most of this week pulling together the site for the new business, so if you’re looking for a Newcastle Wedding Photographer , someone to do a shoot with your family or perhaps some portrait shots for yourself then go to the site and have a look at our portfolio and packages :)
Look forward to working with some of you hopefully :)
