Rugby School


Rugby School Chapel Panoramic
I've been so poorly over the past two weeks with Bronchitis and Flu that it's been tough to keep things going. I've had lots of work to fit in and I've tried to keep working as I never let our clients down but on the days between shoots I've been lying on the sofa with my two dogs watching The Sweeney and Minder on UK Gold!. Last week when I was really suffering I had a shoot at Rugby School where I photographed their chapel. The lighting in the chapel looks stunning and was designed by DPA Lighting Consultants. I really enjoyed the shoot despite feeling terrible and my favourite shot is one made up of three pictures taken on the 24mm T/S lens stitched together. To achieve this I shoot one shot with the lens fully shifted down, another with no shift and a third with the lens fully shifted up. Once stitched together the result is a lovely super wide view without too much wide angle distortion.

After the Rugby shoot I drove down to Wales for a shoot at the Millenium Stadium and had another shoot the following night for Philips Lighting where I photographed some old SOX lanterns soon to be replaced by LED street lights for a before and after case study.
Yesterday I managed a shoot in Brighton at the Rendezvous Casino but felt really tired and hot/cold so had a day off today to try to recuperate once again.
I've had to postpone some product photography for tomorrow as I still feel unwell but hope to be back out again later this week. I am definitely getting a Flu jab next year!.
