New Year.... New Life.....New Country


Well I've been in New York for 5 months now and loved every minute of it. Not only are the people are great, but the surroundings are inspirational, something different to see with the passing of each season. These were taken early one December morning just a few miles from my house just as the sun was appearing over the adjacent hillside. There is a huge complex of reservoirs all around this area which provide water to the City of New York, and me with a great photographic backdrop.



Back in September Nitin and I tied the knot at a small ceremony in Pawling, a smashing memory and a lovely town, one which I hope to get to know very well during 2010. Since then I've been writing like a maniac as the deadline for my book is fast approaching. It's certainly been a tortuous process but now it's nearly complete one which I will end up being very proud of I'm sure. The book should hit the shelves towards the end of 2010 and I'm I'll be providing updates as time goes on.




On the photography front 've been real busy too. Working as a freelance for Max Preps to cover High School sport in New York State - what a great experience.I've met some lovely people, taken some fabulous photos and got a glimpse of the real America.


Finally it was back to England over Christmas and as well as being able to catch up with my family I spent New Years Eve at the wedding of Amy and Damien. A long day but well worth it as I - and they - are really happy with the resulting images. I wanted to finish this post with a few of my favorites.

So All the best to you all for 2010, hope to update you all again soon
Stay Warm

    I recognise that boat!!! =]
    Some nice images here, I especially like the third one of Amy and Damien in black and white - it's very cool!
    The bottom photo makes it look more like a rave than a wedding though! =]
    Still, you'd have got better photos if I had been there. =P

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...
