Now Kim Ayres Photography has properly launched, I should probably start blogging a bit about some of the jobs I've been doing. This blog has nearly always been a reflection of whatever was on my mind at the time, and the photography business takes up a fair amount of that space these days.
Last week I was out taking photos of Amanda Simmons of Corsock Glass. A wonderful artist who creates the most beautiful pieces of glasswork, she is exhibiting this October at Origin in London. She needed some images of her at work for publicity, including a couple of tall, narrow images for banners.
Much fun was had, and even her dog, Snowy, seemed a natural in front of the camera.
Amanda was round for coffee this morning as we went through the various images and edits I'd done and she seems to have gone away a happy client.
I've put up a gallery of some of the images on my photography website. If you're interested, click here:

UPDATE
Amanda's written a rather splendid blog post about the photo session too :)

It's good to see your doing so well pal.
ReplyDeletewhat a GREAT image, sugar! i'm off to see the rest ... xoxox
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like quite a prestigious commission Kim. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThey are really good. I'm sure she was delighted. The dog photo should get you lots of work.
ReplyDeleteI like what you did with the coloring of the photo with this piece. Went to look at the others...nice job!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so my favorite was a close up of the dog's face but there seems to be a lot going on behind those eyes. ;)
Very good stuff. I offer you well wishes, but you hardly need 'em.
ReplyDeleteTalent!
I love to see glass being made. And I'm absolutely positive I've met this woman's husband, weirdly enough; I remember being at some sort of meeting and a man telling me very proudly that his wife did glass art in Corsock.
ReplyDeleteJimmy - well it seems to be off to a good start :)
ReplyDeleteSavannah - hope you like them!
Pat - I'm beginning to realise that client's pets are an extremely important part of any photoshoot :)
Hope - behind his eyes were the thought "if this hairy b*****d keeps sticking that lens in my face I'm gonna..."
Mapstew - I'll take any well wishes going - thank you :)
Mary - his name is Dan, if that makes any difference :)
You have the eye, Kim. I like the first one in the third row—it's a good photo of the artist. I also notice some phallic symbolism in the third photo in the first row . . .
ReplyDeleteIf your phallus is that colour, Charlie, then you need to see a doctor very quickly...
ReplyDeleteYou've been doing 'jobs' (plural), blimey you don't hang about?
ReplyDeleteEryl - plural indeed! However, I'm not fully booked up by any means, so if you know anyone who's looking for a photography experience... :)
ReplyDeleteAmy - thank you :)
What a great site and gorgeous photos! COngrats!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that the "Bakehouse" and "Portraits" are my favorites from your photography site. And I've just discovered your blog and I'm really enjoying it. The writing is excellent.
ReplyDeleteStarrlife - why thank you :)
ReplyDeleteDes - welcome to my ramblings. And with a comment like that you can come back anytime :)
