 Music Photography: Moving Moscow Promo

Every year since 2009 Simon J. Newbury Photography has organised (with lots of help from volunteers) Boxjam. Boxjam is a charity music/ variety event held at The Box in Crewe. This year was Boxjam V, spread across two stages with nearly 30 music acts.

We had the pleasure of having a very special band perform for the very first time. We opted to create a buzz about the band and Boxjam by keeping the identity of the band members a secret. After a meeting with the band we arranged a sinister looking photo-shoot of the band appearing to be hostages, complete with burlap sacks covering the band members faces.

On Saturday 3rd November the new Chairman of the FA, Greg Dyke, visited Nantwich Town’s Weaver Stadium. Greg was accompanied by Cheshire FA Chief Executive Simon Gerrard and met Nantwich Town club officials and was given a tour of the facilities at The Weaver Stadium as well as meeting the new Nantwich Town ladies team and the youth teams for the Dabbers.

Greg was given the tour by Nantwich Town Chairman Jon Gold and Football Development Officer Steve Smithies. Greg took time to chat to all the players and club officials. Nantwich Town Chairman Jon Gold said, “The FA Chairman Greg Dyke is focussed on developing initiatives and making positive changes at every level of football that will benefit and grow the English game over the coming years.  We are proud that he has highlighted Nantwich Town as a community club from which he can both draw inspiration for his future plans for football at this level and now having witnessed things first hand, he can hopefully include us in any future developments and initiatives that may be introduced in coming years.”

Greg also took time to pose for a portrait photograph!

Here are some photos from the visit:

Client: Olio & Farina, Taunton
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury

We’ve recently been doing lots of photography for the brand new Olio & Farina website. Olio & Farina is a restaurant in Taunton, Somerset and we have paid a few visits to the restaurant to photograph the restaurant and also done some studio photography of some Italian themed food.

The restaurant have recently taken on a new chef and he has brought in a new menu. We popped down to Somerset to make a portrait of the new chef for the new website and also do some food photography of the new menu!

We also did some commercial photography of some products on sale in the lead up to Christmas all to help create a professional edge to the website and to help generate traffic for the site.

The food photography shows the range of dishes on offer at Olio & Farina in Taunton.

Here are some of the images from our visit to Somerset!

 Wedding Photography: Crown Hotel Nantwich – Kathryn & Simon

We were back in Nantwich recently for another wedding at the historic Crown Hotel Assembly Room for the wedding of Kathryn and Simon. It was an intimate wedding in the wonderful surroundings of the historic Nantwich Hotel. After the wedding ceremony the guests mingled upstairs before the main reception in the evening in the ceremony room. The historic building is over 400 years old and maintains a good deal of its original features (including the wonderful wonky staircase!) and makes for a great location for wedding ceremonies.

Music Photography: Aldo

We were recently commissioned to make a set of images for local musician Aldo. He is currently working an album release and wanted a professional set of images to use for promotional purposes and for artwork on his releases. We opted for a studio shoot and went for a black and white feel to fit with the mood of his music. Aldo had checked out our music photography and we had a consultation ahead of the shoot to make sure we captured the essence of Aldo and his music!

Aldo said:

I just wanted to write a review about my photo-shoot with simon. He was very professional from start to finish we got to work with out any awkwardness and produced some great shots. It was my 1st pro shoot and Simon encouraged me to loosen up and make the most of it, I had great fun! He communicated with me attentively via email and catered to my needs and produced I was looking for, I love the website also! I love that you’re able to ‘favourite’ images from the shoot so you can remember also how simple and easy the process of getting my final images was. The techniques Simon used via Photoshop to sharpen and enhance the shots is outstanding and fit for anyone in the industry.. in just 1 week after the shoot I was constantly given feedback as to where he was at with things and when I would receive the final products. I’m now left with images I can use for various different things, music artwork, portfolio, acting agents etc. He really covered all the bases and I’m as impressed as I am grateful. I would just like to thank Simon and his team for the understanding and patience to capture a timeless shoot that I can use for a long time to come!

These are some of the portrait photos from the session:

Back in January we travelled down to Taunton in Somerset to photograph Olio & Farina. We got a good set of interior images of the restaurant for their planned new website.

We recently added to that set of photographs with some images to really set the scene for an Italian restaurant. We were commissioned to make a set of images that really helped create a Mediterranean atmosphere. The smells in the studio were great with fresh herbs, olives, Parma ham, garlic and tomatoes all part of the props for the photography! Of course, what Italian themes food photo shoot would be complete without pasta. We had about six different types and created a nice set of images to compliment the interior shots! My favourite to photograph has to be the tagliatelle!

The Olio & Farina website has now launched with all the photography supplied by Simon J. Newbury Photography.

Here are a few of our photos from the studio food shoot:

Client: Calico Heslop Make Up Artist
Photographer: Simon J. Newbury

Simon J. Newbury Photography were asked to produce a set of commercial images for Calico Heslop. Calico is a make up artist and needed a professional set of photographs for online use and for social media to advertise her services.

We held a studio photoshoot to create a nice set of images to show off Calico’s wonderful work. Calico brought along four models and we had a great shoot in Crewe.

Calico said:

When we arrived at the shoot location they had set everything up and were ready and waiting to go. They were patient and great with my models, who I think felt much more at ease after only a few minutes in front of the camera. Simon was very willing to listen to what I wanted from the shots and really got what I was trying to achieve for each model. I was completely happy with their service, from start to finish, including the editing of the final pictures done by Tina, which I thought were fab!

Here are just a few from the shoot:
