The Office

Regular readers may have seen work we have previously been commissioned to provide by our great friends at the Lifestyle Services Group (LSG) based in Crewe in Cheshire.

They are in the process of revamping both their Internet and Intranet sites and commissioned us to photograph their working environment both in their Crewe offices and in a wholly owned subsidiary (STAMS) in Hersham, Surrey.

The requirement was to photograph the offices and the objects in them for a stock library of imagery they are building up. These will be images that can be used for the website, flyers, notices, press release in fact anywhere that images are required.

Here are a few samples to give you the idea of the photographs we produced.

Ringing the changes

Another of our valued regular clients is the Lifestyle Group (LSG). With head offices in Crewe in Cheshire they provide a variety of support services to the banking and mobile phone industries.

This commission was to photograph key people at their Crewe office as well as the offices themselves for use in recruitment material (printed, multimedia and on-line).

I have to say that I think the staff at LSG are some of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet and working there must be such fun. Everyone seems perpetually happy!

Knickers!

In fact all manner of female clothing was the subject of this interesting commission from our friends at the John Lewis Partnership.

The superb Cheadle shop had been chosen by John Lewis to have a new concept in ladies wear retailing installed at the shop and this involved all new point of sale material and a complete refit of the shop floor.

It looks superb with its contemporary design.

Our brief was to photograph the sales are and point of sale materials and fittings as well as the partners in the ladies wear department. Here are a few of the photos we took during our visit.

Thanks to everyone in the department who made the shoot such fun

Snow Leopard on Apple Mac computers

Those good people at Apple have have announced the release of their new operating system for their MAC computers.

They have called it Snow Leopard (how cute).

Come on Apple, you know you you would love to use my photo of a Snow Leopard for your advertisng (may be I could then retire or I would even trade you for a couple of 3Gs iPhones).

How about it guys? (you have to live in hope don't you)

British designer Nick Munro

As I mentioned yesterday, we had an assignment to photograph one of the world's top designers, Nick Munro, as he visited the factory in Preston making furniture he has designed for the John Lewis Partnership.

We had fantastic day and all the craftsmen and other staff at the factory were really pleasant and helpful.

Nick Munro is a fantastic guy. So friendly and so talented and passionate about his work. It was a great honour and a real pleasure to have had the opportunity to meet and talk with him and to see some of his designs both complete and in production (fascinating to watch the furniture being made).

Here are just a couple of photos from yesterday
