Some of these images are quite old now, well a few years perhaps, but it's nice to re-visit some of the old work shot on much older equipment that I have now.

Here you can see some examples of the types of varied frames we can provide as well as some before and after shots following a restoration job.

www.sevenoaks-photography.co.uk can now produce most sizes and frame types and can offer everything from shooting an original image through to producing a wonderful framed print to creating something from your own shots or valuable old photos.

Here is a little video of me testing the drone in safe and private places.
I am hoping to use this in the future when shooting all sorts and hope soon to use it in a music video.

This little collage is from an hours family photo shoot in the studio in Tonbridge, Some years ago if you wanted something like this you would visit a well known branded studio that would offer a free or almost free shoot then following the shoot you were offered credit to purchase your images.

Well photography has come along way and I think it's taking a turning point, many people who brought digital SLR's suddenly became photographers, it is common thought that loads of people are happy to pay through the nose for their photographer but soon enough these people realize it's not as easy as all that.

To survive you have to have a hand in everything, you have to be able to be flexible and most of all you have to be able to be, a photographer, a web builder, a designer, a photo shop expert, have people skills, marketing knowledge, update equipment on a regular basis, know your equipment, learn new skills all the time, be an accountant, I really could go on.

What this all has to do with the collage above is that in the shot there are several different lighting set ups (no natural light) I shot, I kept everyone happy (including the kids) I then edited the shots and created a gallery with about 60 images from the shoot, all of this takes time and to be fair to my clients the shoot was a reasonable fee and included prints.

If you would like to know you are in safe hands then book a professional with good feedback.

Not Just Wedding Photography 

I thought it would be a good idea to post a nice collage from a portrait shoot I had in Knole Park, this shoot was for the clients social media and while we were there I got a little more in the way of shots than the client expected.

Whats worse, not having enough shots or having too many?

Needless to say the client was very happy and will hopefully recommend me to other people she knows looking for the same sort of thing.

Her gallery included 99 images and the collage is just a small selection from that gallery.

Hopefully this will work as a link and you will see me looking pretty tired as I have been up since 4am and have just worked out how to use my new 360 degree camera using my smartphone to control it, this is the first image I took in my edit room.
