This was a campaign I did for Destination Worcester / Visit Worcestershire over Christmas, following Santa around Worcestershire. He was kitted out in his original green costume, some say he only changed to red because of Coca Cola, but I have no evidence of this. We visited businesses throughout Worcestershire area to help boost business in the area. You may have seen these used in a few advertising campaigns.
On a recent photography course, we entered a brief discussion as to whether photography can be classed as art. Some argue against, saying it is not art, photographers disagree. I wanted to add my view on this, for what it counts; and because I have been studying photography for the last 3 years. For me a camera is a tool by which we capture an image, just like a pencil or a paint brush is a tool to mark to a canvas. The end result is the same an image on canvas. The dictionary describes art as “the expression or application of human skill or imagination.” Therefore it is this that we should consider and not the image it’s self. Did the photographer apply his / her skill and imagination to create the photograph?
After watching photographers work on images, manipulating the available light to find great tones in the shadows, modeling the subject and choosing the location with great care to create an image that really stands out, I can conclude that photography is a form of art if it was meant to be.

Do You need a professional photo for social networking sites?
Your website is not the only place where you may need a picture. Linked in, Face book and Twitter,are just a few of the sites where you will be asked to do the following dreaded task; Please upload an image of yourself?
The picture you select to upload is representative of you and will be instrumental in creating the first impression. It is therefore recommended that you refrain from using a holiday snap or the PC web cam and invest in a professional portrait.
However this can be perceived as being expensive !
But it need not be, and that is why for the next 2 months I am willing to offer a portrait shoot for just £65. For this you get a selection of high quality images to use on the web or for print. In addition to this if an employee or colleague of yours requires images at the same time they can join the session for just an additional £20.
