Collinson Twin by Image and Style

Interesting photo shoot last week with musical duo Collinson Twin. Lots of detail about them in our previous blog but here are more photographs taken at The Craven Heifer in Addingham, West Yorkshire.

More of our Collinson Twin photographs can be viewed at www.image-and-style.co.uk

Poster Design by Image and Style

One of our local venues in Addingham, nr Ilkley decided to host an 'Open Mic' evening complimented with chinese food and a book signing by author Stephen Mosley.
We were asked to design and produce a poster for the event. It was an interesting and appetising project with lots of food photography.

'Collinson Twin' Adam and Stephen are both big fans of Hammer Horror Films and took their name from the twins Madeleine and Mary Collinson, the stars of Hammer's 1971 vampire film TWINS OF EVIL, also starring Peter Cushing.
Adam works as a teaching assistant in Harrogate, and also plays solo gigs at such venues as the Half Moon Inn in Pool, and the Red Lion in Burley in Wharfedale.
Stephen is actor and writer. His book of strange tales THE BOY WHO LOVED SIMONE SIMON (which I also illustrated) is out now, and was selected by ENTERTAINMENT FOCUS as one of the 10 Best Books of 2011!

An Extract from 'The Boy Who Loved Simone Simon' read by Stephen Mosley

The 1940s in Haworth

Well, back in Haworth for a great event providing fantastic opportunities for portrait/reportage style photography. The village is decked out to depict the 1940's war years and a superb job they do of it.

From experience we think for photography it is best to arrive about 9.30am and photograph until lunchtime after which it is usually to busy and packed in the main street for what we call comfortable photography.

During that time though you will see a huge range of characters, uniforms, WW2 equipment and civilian attire.

All photographs from this event will soon soon be transferred to our Image Library - see link below.

In the near future several of the images on our websites  will be available on a rights managed basis for media use, advertisements, websites, magazines, publishers, travel books, etc. through our image library.

Photography on the Wall

Quite by chance earlier this week I came across a very interesting artists studio in Ilkley. I was walking along Leeds Road on my way home when I almost stumbled over an advertising 'A' board that had blown over onto the pavement, whilst picking it up and putting it back on display saw it was advertising an artists studio the 'Art Loft'. This was one I had not heard of before and as I was always on the lookout for places to exhibit our fine art photographs I decided to take a look. 
Eventually found the studio tucked away behind Ilkley's main auction house, Hartleys. 

Had a good chat with the owner /artist Liz Sutcliffe ( lizarra ) and discovered that her paintings have been finding their way into private collections all over the world. Liz has also accepted commissions from Italy and America as well as London.
As well as exhibiting her own work Liz has works by other artists hanging on the walls which give the studio a real feeling of warmth and vibrance. One of Liz's pastels 'Partners' is really impressive, in fact stunning, don't take my word for it, visit the Art Loft Studio or visit the website www.lizaraartloft.com

I am pleased to say that Liz has allowed Photography on the Wall to exhibit several of our fine art photographs at her studio.

Ilkley Rugby Club, a New Era

Published on the 15th September 2010.

This week has seen the start of a new era at Ilkley Rugby Club. A new clubhouse is to be built, contractors have arrived on site, erected safety fencing and site cabins.

Over the period of the rebuild I will endevour to record  the demolition and reconstruction in photographs which will be uploaded to an album on my Ruggerpix website.

The club warn all whilst at the ground to please obey all the safety signs around the ground and not to enter the fenced off areas. Also there will be no car parking at the ground because of building work, some parking will be available on nearby roads or at the swimming pool opposite.

From what I understand demolition will not take place untill next week so there will not be many changes visible if you attend this Saturdays league game against old rivals Keighley. Lets hope it doesn't rain.

The 1940's in Haworth.

Even when we have a busy calendar the one event we always make room for is Haworth's 1940's weekend. It provides such a wide range of portrait /character subjects and really is a photographers paradise. 

Such a vast range of colourful uniforms from around the globe and all manner of civilian attire from the 40's era. 

Having visited several of these  events we find it best to arrive mid morning when its relatively quiet this allows us a clear view of our subjects, later on usually just after lunch it just gets to busy and find more often as not someone will walk in front of the lens as the shutter is pressed.

 

So photographers - get there early.

1940'S Weekend, Haworth. Just a little bit busy down the Main Street

The style of photography we like at this event is what I would call reportage portrait, taking the shot while the subject is unaware, if possible and with an out of focus backpround or a background in context with the subject. 

Adopting this style will display more the character of the era.
