The Terrace Cafe which is in the Firstsite gallery in Colchester is under new management. A great place to get yummy cake and coffee or even share a bottle of wine over lunch. Here are a few ‘meet the new team’ pics…

I have been waiting for a fluffy cloud day, perfect to use my ND filter. A few images I took today to go on the front covers of Adams Publishing Magazine ‘Around Colchester’.

I have been so busy with actually taking pics lately I haven’t had time to keep up with my social media. However today when I was checking my one of my Google+ business pages (somehow I have two G+ pages for lindsay wakelin photography.com) it was asking me for some pics of myself and I was just in the process of borrowing my partners camera as a backup camera today and spied some pics of me on his memory card. Boom!

I was delighted when Livability asked me to take pictures of HRH Princess Anne visiting Treetops in Colchester. Livability work with disabled and disadvantaged people to promote choice, independence and opportunity. The charity Livability are trying to raise £190,000 for new equipment in their bathrooms and kitchens of their residents.

Below you can see me in action, I accidentally photo bombed another press photographer…

I got together with my brilliant make-up artist and hair stylist to do a fun shoot Halloween styley.

Boudoir vous is the name of my website and company name for my Boudoir photography, which in the main is treating women of all shapes and sizes, ages and backgrounds to a fantastic make-over and photography session. Shelly is the hair stylist (picture below) and Chantelle the make-up artist (the girl with the cut throat) they make each client feel like a million dollars by glamming them up or giving them a beautiful soft feminine look. Then the client decide what kinds of images they want and off we go, the service is completely bespoke and unique to each person. At Boudoir Vous we pride ourselves in what we do and every client to date has left the studio smiling and pleased with the results.

We took advantage of the good weather and flew off to Holland for a long w.end, I decided to pick just one lens my 35mm Prime to take as I know I have done this in the past especially with a lens I don’t often use to just remind myself of its capabilities and strengths. I was determined to try out a bit of street photography, something I have been nervous of in the past, I never want to upset or offend anyone by pointing the camera but at the same time I do love to take pictures of people just doing real things in the moment.

Here’s a few pics from one of my product shoots, sometimes showing your products on a model can really help show them off. It also gives your customers an idea of the colour, size and look of your product against the skin.
