Proud to be British

Well with the upcoming Diamond Jubilee weekend I couldn't help but jump on the trend of celebrating at Saturday Studio.  Manish from Good Taste brought in his queen of Somerset Cheddars, weighing in at 25kg I think he was rather tempted to roll it into the studio.  But we managed to position it centrally in front of the Union Jack and as you can see officially crowned it the Queen of Cheese for the day!


The great thing about the British is that they aren't fussed about taking the mickey of themselves and from time to time can easily be a bit cheesey! 

Have you ever imagined the Queen with red hair and wearing a pink tie-dyed hippy dress...?  Thanks to Mary you no longer have to wonder!  Carol looked lovely in her vintage British dress, and so serene! We also enjoyed the quirky Frenchman's take on standing in front of the Union Jack with duck in hand - John Francios thanks for being so quackers! 


Of course where would the British be without those anti-establishment folk! This is a country where we have the freedom to express our own opinion - that in itself is worth celebrating!



The creativity of the British was also celebrated today as we had product designer Marcello who uses his vision to bring new life and uses to old products.  Known for his one off designs, here he showcases his newest invention, a desk lamp made from an old hoover. And yes a spot of tea would be lovely!


Jeff and Lucy popped into the Studio too along with Leroy and then Johneet who brought in her two little ones for a quick shot in front of the UJ.  All in all it was a great day!  If you like what you've seen and feel like a fun portrait shoot of your own, why not pop into Saturday Studio on 16 June 11 - 5pm on day of the Crystal Palace Summer Fesitval.  As you can see our doors are open to all, it's free to have your portrait shot and if you like it you can purchase prints from me via the details page of this blog.  Thanks for looking.

Jubilee Theme for Saturday Studio 26 May

Hi there Saturday Studio Followers.  Looking forward to the Jubilee celebrations??  Well I am!  So much in fact that I've decided to dedicate the shoot on Saturday 26 May to the Jubilee.  There will be a couple of props to play with but why not come along dressed up for the event?  It'll be great fun and a chance to create a portrait that captures this moment in British history.

Crystal Palace Digital Swap over tonight




Hey I got to see many of you tonight at Westow House where all the locals where hanging out for the first view of the light show from the Crystal Palace Transmitter to commemorate the swap over from analogue to digital.  CP has such a great local community.

24 March is just around the corner!!

Yes, that's right the next Saturday Studio is happening on the 24th of March.  I am really excited about trying out my new beauty dish on all the wonderful and fabulous people who decide to pop by.  That's what's so great about my studio days - every shoot day is approached in a fresh way to get us producing new and dynamic images together.  It wouldn't be possible to do this without you the public ... my willing and interesting subjects.  No matter who you are, where you come from, whether you're part of a family or an individual, my camera is fired up and ready to create exciting new images of you!!!  Oh and pets are welcome too!  So come along on Saturday 24th March between 11am and 5pm.  Depending on your preferred mode of travel, the studio is just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Crystal Palace Triangle.

See you there!
