Well that’s Christmas morning done and I’m sure boredom is beginning to set in, its the gap between opening your presses and the Queens speech!  Well, as ever, we try to help so here are two gifts for you from us.  One – my personal favourite images from the “Bad Santa” shoot, don’t forget if you go on to our Face Book page and post your title for either of the two pictures we will choose the one the team like best and YOU will get a limited edition, one of only ten, fine art print of the image.  These are normally only for internal or Olympus use so a real “rare bird”!

So I proudly present:  “Is THAT the North Pole?!!!”

I know, I know I just can’t help myself sometimes when I’m creating ;0)

 

I then finished the shoot with some individual pictures of my very patient and uber fantastic subjects… James image is my gift to his very beautiful wife Samantha, how the hell he managed to pull a cracker like her mystifies me, so it seemed only right we reciprocate for her! ;0) x

and me – well How many people have custom made baubles made for them, I just had to shoot them… and lets be fair, everybody likes nice baubles…

So in this season of good will I feel we have done our bit now to spread a little Christmas cheer.  With all sincerity  the “Dream Team” and I want to wish you a fabulous festive season and THANK YOU for the interest, help and support you’ve given us over the last year…

We will be kicking of 2015 at the Societies convention in London (keep your eyes peeled for an announcement very soon – we have a BIG surprise for YOU), and we have our first BIG Shoot Experience of the year towards the end of the month – this is personally a very special BIG Shoot Experience for me, you may even get to meet one of my hero’s if you come along.

Thanks once more and see you in the new year

 

D & L & TEAM
