Monty's Guitars

Based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, Monty’s Guitars is a team of talented musicians who make guitar pick ups, as well as an extraordinary range of other parts. Their client base is wide and pretty impressive, with the likes of Kasabian, Radiohead, Biffy Clyro, Katie Melua and many more.

One of the founders, Matt, contacted me as they needed photographs of all of the parts they make, and there were a lot! After two days of photographs in their workshop, using my studio equipment, there was then a further two weeks of post production. Incredibly intensive work due to the nature of the materials being photographed.

Wheel Product Shots

Nick contacted me recently because he needed some professional shots of his handmade carbon fibre bike wheels to use on his website and social media platforms. There were four sets of wheels in total. I chose the skate board ramps in Pittville Park as the backdrop. I felt the gritty graffiti graphics might offset the wheels well, providing a good context. I think it works really well! I then spent some time in Nick’s workshop taking some shots of him and his set up to help bring across the handmade nature of the wheels a little more.

I was recently commissioned by a local florist, who wanted an up to date shot of one of her gift packages to use on her website. I don’t often need to cut out but in this case she wanted all shadows removed. It’s a step away from my usual style but good to keep my hand in with this useful technique.

JSM

I was recently asked to take some product photos of a notebook  brand. The brief was mainly lifestyle shots. I had met my client, Jon Griffiths, at a previous photo shoot I did for him and his family in Pittville Park. It was great to catch up with him and his wife again and learn more about their business.

Cradle To Crib

A few weeks ago I met up with Amber,  founder of new children's clothing company; Cradle To Crib. This eco-friendly boutique is rethinking how we buy for babies. It provides parents with a sustainable option for purchasing clothes for their children.

Amber lovingly hand makes every item of clothing. All of the pieces in the photos have been designed and crafted by her. 

Following my suggestion, the photo shoot itself took place in Pittville Park with half a dozen, (very cute) children! The little models regularly attend Miniature Music sessions, a fun music group that is held in and around Cheltenham most weeks. I know the lady who runs the group and I suggested to Amber that she might be a good contact. 

The brief was fairly straightforward. Amber wanted to capture the children in a natural setting, playing and having fun. These are the first set of photos that will appear on Amber's new website once it is up and running so she wanted simple, striking images that would capture the eye as soon as people hit the home page.

Action Baby Carriers (UK)

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with Nicole Hastie, Director of Action Baby Carriers (UK).

Action Baby Carriers are ethically manufactured in the USA, they combine comfort and style, making it easy and fun to take your baby around with you wherever you go.  As you'll see from the photos, they are available in a wide range of fun prints and solid colours and can be adjusted to fit any body shape.  

Nicole's brief was straightforward. She was redesigning her website and needed some lifestyle shots of her Action Baby Carriers in action! 

We chose Pittville Park, Cheltenham, for our backdrop for the shoot. It's picturesque setting was ideal for the soft, organic feel we wanted to create in the photos. The models were Mum's that Nicole had got to know through her 10 years experience working in the baby wearing world.
