Finding time

This last few weeks has been frenetic and there just hasn't seemed enough time in the day to get through everything. But no complaints, Sundial is a healthy, thriving and developing business - something of which I am very proud. Every day presents opportunities to broaden my experience, every day is a new adventure and long may it remain so.

I took the decision when starting out in this business that I didn't want to pigeon-hole myself in one limiting line of photography, hence the broad canvas, the wide ranging portfolio as well as the variety of work.During the last fortnight I've photographed Yulia and Andy's wedding at East Lodge, Rowsley. Spent a day with Jo Lovell from Crystal Angels, teaching her how to get the most out of her camera and computer. Spent some time out in the Peak District looking for opportunities to add to my landscape collection, and finally photographed sport, sport sport. Commissioned work from the Crowood Press to provide images for their sports guides is just part of the story as it's also cup final season and the start of the summer tournaments.

Amidst all the practical work the business still has to be developed, planned and administered so today was set aside for some concentrated time in the office to get my paperwork up to date. A necessary chore and also chance to start and plan for the second half of the year. In the meantime please have a look on the website as I began the task today of freshening up the galleries and adding some of the fruits of my labour from the last month. The homepage has a new slideshow and the sports gallery has been overhauled with a large number of new images added in most categories. During the coming week I hope to be able to find the time to add more in all pages so please keep your eye out for any updates.



Now it's time to start and think about the weekend and another couple of days devoted to sports photography. Saturday will see me at Cavendish Fields in Matlock working an event with Mark Ludbrook from Sportsshots and Sunday I have the pleasure of photographing my friends at Linby Ladies and Girls FC. Team photos, portraits and a new product called "Sportraits" Should be another busy but rewarding time.


Have a great weekend

The Engagement photoshoot

For Jane Haslam Photography the engagement photo-shoot is an essential step in the build up to any wedding, as it provides an ideal opportunity not only to establish confidence in the photographer but also establishes a relaxed working relationship between photographer and client. The photo-shoot takes place at a location and time of the clients choosing. We take our time to wander around the location, discussing likes, dislikes as well as trying out various poses, The resulting portfolio is made available for immediate download as well as being included on the final photo cd. The images can also be used to produce  personalized gifts that say thank you to family and friends. Gemma and Dave  had a love of wide open spaces and for them it was important that their photo-shoot placed them in the landscape where they loved to walk their dogs. For Ben and Ruth the lure of a vibrant field of rapeseed proved too much temptation and even though Ben w...

Image is everything

With my background in sport I suppose it's no surprise that I am trying to make a reputation for myself in high quality sports photography. So last night saw me make the tortuous drive across country to Shrewsbury Town FC, to photograph England's Women's side as they began their preparations for Euro 2009. As well as some great action, and a 3-0 win for England, it was lovely to catch up with a few old friends from the Football Association. It seems like an age since I left to start my new life in photography. Here a few of the results some of which may surface in my forthcoming book about girls and womens football. The weekend looks like being one devoted to rugby photography as t omorrow I am in the fortunate position of being able to cover a Guinness Premiership Rugby game - Leicester Tigers v Bristol in what is being billed as Super Saturday. It's the last regular day of the season so there should be a carnival atmosphere at the Walkers Stadium. Then on Sunday I wi...
