Allow me to introduce myself...
... OK, that's obviously not me in the photo! I'm Jamie - first and foremost, a photographer and videographer here in the beautiful New Forest; though I do have other creative avenues that I love to explore!
My approach...
There is nothing quite like finding that 'perfect' angle and light to photograph all manner of subjects. But perhaps more importantly, especially when working with people, I am keen to be the kind of photographer that people forget are there; so that I can capture genuine moments as they happen, rather than posing people awkwardly. My editing style is also quite relaxed - I am not one to spend hours obsessing over a single photo! The end result, I feel, is a more natural look, with a more candid style. Of course, I am happy to do posed shots when asked, but I like to capture the special moments even more!
How I can help you...
...with many years under my belt taking photographs and producing videos of places, people, events, and performances, there's very little I won't capture! With interests and experience in other creative areas such as music composition, modelmaking, and graphic design, I am pretty well-equipped to deal with most situations that individuals or small businesses could throw my way. I always go above and beyond, and have been known to film, edit, and produce videos in one day - not bad when such videos can be over an hour long, use 3 cameras, 8 microphones, can involve creating graphical assets, and require 12 hours of work.
Simply put; need a photographer, videographer, and/or a creative eye? I've got you covered!
NICKY & RICH'S WEDDING | Hale, The New Forest, UK
Nicky and Rich very kindly allowed me to film their beautiful wedding; it being my first time as a wedding videographer. Everything was exceptional; the wedding and reception venues, the ceremony, the band, the dresses and suits worn, the congregation, and of course the delightfully fun and down-to-earth couple themselves. It couldn't have been a more perfect day, and I wish them both well for the future - they are a fantastic couple!
HENGISTBURY HEAD | Taken 22nd September 2022
This beautiful view with the marram grass in the foreground and The Needles in the background can be found at Hengistbury Head. This was a particularly windy day, but that didn't stop me enjoying a fantasticly refreshing walk!
ELIZABETHAN EVENING | Filmed on 11th September 2021
An Elizabethan event held in Hale Park on the 11th of September to raise funds for the churches of St Mary (Hale) and St Boniface (Woodgreen). A wonderful event in a fantastic location!
Many thanks to Sloan Hickman for allowing us to use his grounds, and to Dr Paul Borrelli and his team of amazing performers!
BEACH DIORAMA | 16th February 2023
This months modelmaking project was this beach scene. For me, very little beats a warm summer day or evening sat on a sandy beach and listening to the waves crash on the shore; so that's exactly what I modelled. Find out how this diorama was built in the March and Spring 2023 issues of BRM (British Railway Modelling).
