​I was delighted to be asked to photograph this event.  It was held in the Castle Centre, Barnstaple to promote the issue of fuel poverty and how 361 Energy CIC has tried to address this with their 361 Empowerment project. The event was sponsored by the NEA (National Energy Action) There was a good turnout including Peter Heaton-Jones MP, local and town councillors, North Devon Homes and other interested people and stakeholders. 

A good humoured event about a serious subject.

I had an amazing time at the Society’s Wedding & Portrait Photographers Convention 2016 at the Hilton London Metropole. Five full on days learning tips and tricks of photography business, workflow and techniques. 
I  met some amazing people and fantastic photographers. All of them sharing ideas, experience and inspiration. 
And let’s not forget the trade show and the photo competition’s. Some amazing images on display.

​Many of the wedding images were quite dark and sombre, not really my style, but great fun when we got to give it a go, running around the corridors of a very posh hotel with Gordon McGowan and model’s Roseanne and Malcolm.

I take no credit for the creation of these images except the composition and post production. Tested the limits of my little Panasonic I can tell you. I love that 20mm pancake lens!

​Long days and two hours a day on the tube all worth it just for the buzz. Thank you Mark and Paula for putting me up, steering through the rush hour tube and encouraging me to sign up for the week.
