A Family Portrait Need Not Be Dull!

shootinglight — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 21:37:51 +0000

Thank you so much to the extended Murray family who wanted something a bit different for their family photos. We decided to give it a three pronged attack; a family walk, trash the kitchen and a mess about in the sitting room. Getting children engaged and looking natural for a family photo is always a challenge with the time involved so we thought a cooking lesson would work with the added bonus for them that they could make as much mess as they liked!

Ever wondered where your bananas come from?

shootinglight — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:03:12 +0000

The journey your banana, pineapple or indeed any fruit takes to get to your fruit bowl is quite an impressive one. In Kent George Hammond PLC are the guys that run Dover’s Cargo Terminal.
I have been commissioned to create film and photo footage of the work they do. It is fascinating and this is some of the work produced so far.

And here is the short demo version which we built on to create the final edit.

A Spar Day

Happy New Year and welcome back if this is your first visit of 2012.

I for one am really looking forward to a year when we’re going to step it up a gear and add film and video to the list of services that can be provided by James Heming Photography. As a potential client, this is such an exciting time for you. You can now get both your stills and your video from one place. More and more customers in advertising and corporate areas are requesting this. And it makes perfect sense to have the person you trust dealing in both areas and saves you a considerable amount of your budget. We already have a number of projects in the pipeline both big and small so if you would like to hear what we could do for you,
please do get in touch.

Here is a short promotional video commissioned recently to help win this fantastic store an award. Instead of just submitting the entry form and a few photos, Spar had the vision to make it come alive with a film story of what they do.

A 21st Celebration at Whitstable Castle

shootinglight — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 12:20:55 +0000

How cool is this? The idea was to turn Whitstable Castle into the Tower of Terror with all the guests dressed up suitably. However the star of the night, the Birthday boy himself wanted decadence, style and well, Hugh Heffner status. The brief was to capture the arrival as VIP guests piled out of the Hummer and create a paparazzi frenzy. Once inside, in true Hollywood style, guests were papped on the red carpet.

Congratualtions to all of you. An amazing amount of work went into this and I hope you enjoy the photos for years to come.
Scrolling……down?

Tom & Nathalie Get Married

After a fantastic pre-wedding shoot back in May, I was thoroughly looking forward to their big day.
What a brilliant day was had by all in Surrey at the Woodcote Park RAC Club. Nothing was forgotten, not even a personal message from JLS!

Wayne & Karen, Reculver, Kent

shootinglight — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 14:21:29 +0000

It was one of those great evenings of light but only for a short time. The sweet spot of the day. Wayne and Karen were fantastic and really got into it, which as always makes my side of the job so much easier!
Come back soon to check out their wedding day.

Great To See You At Leeds Castle

shootinglight — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 18:40:03 +0000

Wow, what a couple of days at the ‘loveliest castle in the world’. Fantastic to meet so many brides (and grooms, although most were more taken with the ‘Back To The Future’ Delorean!).
Our wedding show offer of £100 off every package and a free Mini-Movie worth £150 is available for the next 7 days, so have a look through all the masses of stuff you collected and if you’d like to book a date, give us a call!

Here are a few of Leeds Castle taken on the Sunday morning of the show.

Autumn Fashions with Ashford Designer Outlet

Had a fun couple of hours with Charlie O’Brien and personal stylist Deborah Eastlake at Ashford Designer Outlet shooting for some Autumn fashion ideas. It’s great the looks you can achieve with a bit of help.
Lovin’ it girls!

The Open at Sandwich, the other field.

shootinglight — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 18:34:21 +0000

Neighbouring the beautifully kept Royal St. Georges Golf Club is a field which for a week in July was borrowed by the rich (but not really famous) to park their choppers while they went off to enjoy a day or two of golf. I was lucky enough to have access for a day to shoot the comings and goings from dawn till dusk. We were mainly there to shoot a film for Helicharter UK, but here are some stills of the fabulous machines at rest waiting for their owners.
