Feeling festive with another dress rehearsal. This time at the Palace Theatre, Paignton.

I hope you’re all ready for this big day! For me, the Theatre is a magical part of Christmas. Two weeks ago I was asked to photograph the Dress rehearsal for a local dance school. How could I refuse this close to Christmas 🙂

Posted on by Simon Day in Events, Photography, Theatre

Ahhhh, it was SO nice to be back inside a Theatre photographing dress rehearsals again.

For many people seeing the Christmas Panto is a tradition. It is a very Christmassy thing to do! There is something magical about going to the Theatre, to see real people perform in front of you.

In this post, I talk about the show, the technical difficulties, and the camera equipment I used to get the shots you’ll see.

A quick home studio headshot photoshoot in Goodrington, Paignton, Devon.

Posted on by Simon Day in Photography, Portraits

Aidan needed a specific style of photo for the website of the IT company he works for. I had a look at the ‘meet the team’ shots on their website and shot the exact style of photo that the rest of the team had.

This is a quick, short and sweet post, but I thought I’d include a ‘behind-the-scenes’ photo from my phone so you can see what went into the resulting two shots.

Paul and Julie have been married for 10 years and wanted to celebrate this with a renewal of vows. The wedding photographer on their wedding day had really let them down. There were specific photos that they wanted to be done again and I was told to be creative for the rest. The pressure was on to make sure I achieved everything they needed.

Happy Halloween! A photoshoot with a spooky theme.

Posted on by Simon Day in Events, Photography

I try to get a Halloween photoshoot each year. This year was no exception. The very talented Molly and her boyfriend were the models and Molly’s mum did an amazing job with the makeup!

Very important note:

Many parts of the tracks where this was shot have collapsed, sunk, or completely fallen away. There were trees, bushes and branches encompassing many parts of the track, including behind the smoke. This track is so derelict it is IMPOSSIBLE for anything to be on it. Please do not ever attempt this!

If you need an event photographer please get in touch!

Happy Halloween!
