I have recently been doing some work for BBC Countryfile Magazine. I have always wanted to work for the magazine and they were one of the first places I tried when going freelance in Bristol as I think my style of photography suits the the magazine and being from rural Devon myself I have always seen the magazine and studied the photographs.
I was delighted when I heard from the staff at Countryfile with some assignments and I have now done a few commissions for the magazine but cannot post any photographs until they are published. There are some really exciting ones I have done wont be posted until next year as some of them are done now before everything looks cold, dark and wintery.
Here are some of the assignments Which have been published in Print.
The first Assignment was a feature on market towns in Ledbury and Ludlow and there was a potential front cover shot along with a nice story of photographs taken while getting to know the towns. Below is the spread, cover and a selection of the images from the day showing the markets and the town on a busy summer Saturday.

The scond Commission which is in this months Countryfile was a Food Hero called Liz Knight who forages for ingredients to make Christmas puddings and many other products. Liz was really nice and gave me plenty of time to get some great photographs and had an amazing kitchen for photography with great light and rustic cooking surfaces and props. Below is the Feature and a selection of the images from the day.

The Third Commission I have had published which is also in this months Countryfile is a feature from Natural History TV presenter Mike Dilger who works on The One Show every week. Mikes feature was on how to turn an urban garden into a mini nature reserve and what to put in the garden to encourage wildlife to inhabit your garden. Mike was also very accommodating and great in front of the camera as he is used to working in TV. Below is the spread and a selection of the images from the day.

UPDATE
Had another two features in Countryfile this month. Yet again very happy with them, the choice of photograph and the spreads.
The first was with Jimmie Hepburn, an Organic Fish Farmer at http://www.aquavisiononline.com in Devon for the Food Hero feature.
The Second was a Christmas Tree Farm called http://www.dinmore-christmas-trees.co.uk in Wellington near Hereford. I photographed Colin and davina who run the family business.
