Photograph For Hair Styling Competition

This week Aimee from THM, hair salon in the high street approached me to take a photograph of a spectacular piece of hair styling she had completed and will be entering into a national competition.

This was very different from the families that came in for photo shoots over the weekend. I thouroughly enjoyed photographing "hair" a first thime. Good luck Aimee I hope you win!!

Molesey Carnival Pictures

The Molesey Carnival Committee kindly asked me if I would take some photographs of the Molesey Carnival this year and I was delighted to oblige. I have posted the images (some 250+) on a gallery just visit http://www.phototed.co.uk/ and you will see the link on the front page (if it is not there it will have been moved to the gallery section)
I had shoots in the studio in the morning then cycled over to the start at Ember Court industrial estate to capture the send off and not knowing what the weather would do I thought I could get pictures of all the fantastic floats and parades before the rain came. Luckily it did not come so I cycled over to Molesey library where big crowds had gathered and took more photographs, and a few more at the recreation ground before helping out in the 3rd Molesey Scout Group tea tent.

Puffins on Skomer

This May half term I finally got to visit Skomer. I visited with the family we camped in Marloes which was only a few miles from where the boat goes. We went Sunday to Wednesday working around studio bookings.

We had a mixture of sun fog rain and cloud and very very windy, but the photographic opportunities on the Island of Skomer were great I have posted a selection of photographs taken on the Island of Skomer on my website. http://www.phototed.co.uk/page52a.html

It was great fun and I can highly recommend it to anyone. for more information on Skomer visit http://www.welshwildlife.org/skomerIntro_en.link

Another award !!

The studio has been very busy lately but I did attend the MPA (Master Photographer's Association gala day in Colchester and scoped up a special award for excellence in the category of landscape and travel with my picture of a tufted duck. This picture took me a long time to get I have many pictures but no others with this almost perfect reflection.

New Testimonial Web Page

I have been asking customers to write in my new studio book about their experience of Ted Palmer's Photographic Studio. As they have been writing in the book over the last week or so I have placed the comments on a new Testimonials section of my website, why not take a look and see what you think. http://www.phototed.co.uk/.

£1000 Studio Investment

With the increasing popularity of photographic shoots at the studio, the studio has now undergone a £1000 upgrade. This now means that the lights are now on a ceiling rail system which means they can be moved around and operated without wires or stands across the studio floor. This means there is more free space for children to relax, play and enjoy themselves thus creating a better environment to produce lovely candid shots. Despite this considerable investment sitting prices have remained the same and as always photography with Ted Palmer gives you exceptional quality that represents outstanding value.
