A mini trip 35 project...

Don't know if you all remember this marvel of photographic technology... The Olympus Trip 35mm... well a dear old friend lent me one recently to give it a bit of a service and see if it was still useable. So I carried it with me on a few trips ... well, had a chance to see what resulted and thought I'd show you some...

REMEMBER: The following images were shot with an old Trip 35mm, which has fixed focus points and very few adjustable settings.. that and the film I used was rather old (my old favourite Fuji Neopan which I used to uprate)...

It's been a busy fortnight!

So it's been a very busy couple of weeks what with family business, a lot of behind the scenes organisation, shoots I can't show you :( and travelling down south a few times, not to mention booking some exciting weddings and oh, booking a week away in spain... but I thought I should keep you up to date on what is happening about the moment with Damian Brown Photography.

Last week I implemented some much needed changes to my wedding photography brochure. I wanted to make it fresh, easy to follow and exciting! It had to be honest and inspiring as well.. because basically that's what photography should be about.

Especially photographing a day like a wedding day, for many people that is the most important day of their life, so it's important that the wedding photography is well considered, and that the couple chooses a professional that can capture their style and character and create images that will be fresh for a long time to come.

Here's the wedding brochure:

Also spent some time down at a studio in Hertfordshire and met some very cool photographers. One worth checking out is Rich Page at http://www.richard-page.com who is an award winning marine photographer who also worked in press in London.

(Oh and i'll be posting up a new profile photo he shot while we were in the studio ... likely on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=731768340&ref=profile ) I think he's managed to make me look less ugly than I am...
