A few months back I did a job for the Mud Dock Cafe  and Bike Shop. The brief was great as it was very open and I was encouraged to get to know the place then photographs it how I see fit.

 

I often have a set list of many photos I have done in previous restaurants before to repliacte in some way or another, but tried to not use the list as this job was more about capturing the place and the Story behind this very unique Lifestyle Bike Establishment. It was a bit of a challenge at first as I was trying to go back to the way I used to shoot years ago before taking photos commercially.

 

After a few Visits I started to get some ideas and thoughts on the people, place and story and then Knew that it would be a great short book documenting the three areas of the establishment – Workshop, cafe and shop.

I have recently had a few jobs doing Office Reportage where clients wanted some realistic photographs of their teams and businesses. These jobs are often combined with more formal headshots which can be seen here

I very much enjoy doing the reportage style photographs as I feel it plays much more to my strengths for taking observed informal photography. I also love black and white photographs as it was what I was largely bought up with through university in Newport.

2011 was a fantastic year for me. The year that my photography business started getting going. I have had the pleasure of working with some great people throughout the year so I thought I would post a summary of the work done in pictures.
