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.

Fine Art Paintings

Di Berry contacted me recently as she needed professional photographs taking of her paintings. There were about thirty five canvasses in total. Natural daylight and a tripod works best for this type of work. Artificial studio lighting can be used, but it can often overcomplicate what is a relatively simple process.

The photos were taken at Di’s house. I had done a recky a few days before and had advised her on the best wall to use, (this decision was based on the amount of available natural daylight and the angle it was hitting the wall.) She had then prepped the area accordingly. We spent an hour carefully taking each shot, ensuring that the focus was pin point accurate.

Di is going to use the photos as gift cards and prints.

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.

Skin Salve

Ben, the founder of Skin Salve, commissioned me for an hour to capture some professional shots of his skin care products. A combination of shots were required, including individual shots of each product and a group shot of all the products, with and without the hand cream.

The Snug Hug

Snughug is a British children’s dressing gown company that focuses on creating luxury products in exclusive designs. Founded by Matilda Wood, she recently contacted me as she was in need of some professional studio shots. 

It was a three hour shoot with lots of lovely little models all bursting with energy and enthusiasm! The morning was a whirlwind of bunnies, dragons and penguins all eager to jump in front of the lens and have some fun. We kept the shoot very informal, and apart from a handful of specific shots that Matilda needed, we left the children to their own devices. I often find this approach works best as the children are far more relaxed and their natural smiles and beaming grins just ooze out of them.

If you have a new product you're launching and need some professional photos then please get in touch using my contact page or give me a call on 07983 465414. I'd love to hear from you! Thanks.

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.

Safari Ant Product Shoot

Okay chaps. Wedding season has been in full swing this past month, but I've finally got a day in front of the computer to catch up with some Mouse About Town blogs! 

On 26th July I met up with Florence again, to shoot some of the products that are to appear on her new website, women's clothing company; Safari Ant. 

Safari Ant works with young people from impoverished communities, training them to make quality handcrafted products to enable them to enter the global supply chain. If you buy Safari Ant, you are changing lives. 

This job is the second of two photo shoots that I've done for Florence. For pictures of the lifestyle shoot please click here.
