Belly Dancing Weekend
In July I will be attending a Belly Dancing Weekend taking pictures both for the organisers and the participants. This should be a great weekend of music and dance, featuring two international presenters.
Glamorgan Gazette Images
The images that I have been working on for the council are beginning to appear. This week's Glamorgan Gazette (March 25th) contains a full page spread of several of the images from the collection of images I am producing for the council.
Not only did we have this spread but coincidentally a recent commissioned shoot of Huw Incanna-Davies, Minister for the Environment, visiting Invacare also made the same issue.
Hafla Night at Blue Water Club, Porthcawl
There are over 560 images to view from this amazing night in Porthcawl last Friday 19th March. Go to the Viewing Gallery under Events.
NEW LOOK WEB SITE
Over the next few weeks the web site will take on a new, more streamlined and professional appearance. Galleries will be reduced to show a selection of the best images. This will clear up space for future work along with additional pages for downloads such as future packages of Business Portraits, Company Brochure work etc
Due to the amount of work I have been producing lately for commercial enterprises I feel it is time to create some advertising material to distribute to the local businesses on all of the Industrial Parks here in Bridgend.

We are offering a special Portrait Package Price

2 hour studio sitting; 1 12x8in & 4 6x4in for an amazing value of £55. This offer is open to Families, Couples & Individuals.

My Best Images
I have just opened a gallery of my favourite images from the 2 years that I have been taking professional photographs.
This is probably a true reflection of my portfolio at present.
It is a combination of Commercial, Portrait, Landscape & Wedding images.
I have recently gained the commission for a series of images of Bridgend for the council.
It comes in handy having a photographic Grandson!
Its been snowing in Bridgend

Pictures of Bridgend by Night
We have a New Gallery in the Stock Photography section. The theme being Bridgend during the night time. Some might say that Bridgend is best captured when its dark!
My project is to show the effects of slow shutter speeds and the amazing colours that can be captured and the use of light at these times of the day, using the landmarks of Bridgend.
Also to be added shortly will be the Churches of Bridgend, Modern architecture of Bridgend, Bridges of the Ogwr and Castles of Bridgend. I am sure I am not the only one that can see there is a lot to be proud of with the architecture and history of this old town.

Best of Bridgend
I am pleased to announce that I have been approached and have accepted the role as the official photographer for the Best of Bridgend.
This is a great internet directory showcasing businesses of Bridgend. It also has a supporting magazine, the second issue has arrived on our doorsteps a few weeks ago and has proved very successful once more. A lot of the images displayed in this issue are my work.
From these photo sessions I have already managed to secure future work. Watch out for the advert in this issue with a 10% Family Portrait discount voucher attached.
Graham Davies Photography has just landed a prestigious contract with Bridgend County Borough Council. The project will take two months to complete and will include over 400 images. The focus being the Technological Business Development in the town. Plus images of the great architecture that we take for granted as residents. The busy town life and capturing the vibrant McArthur Glen Outlet are amongst just some of the images to be produced.

New Studio Lighting Equipment Investment
All my work up till now has either been achieved through ambient (natural sunlight) light or use of speedlites (on camera flash units with 3 additional speedlites). I have been very pleased with the development of the images but I felt to achieve even greater image quality I needed to take the next step and invest in 4 300watt professional flash heads plus soft boxes, additional umbrellas, snoots and a wireless remote trigger.
Here is a sample of my latest work using just a snoot, and umbrella with 2 of the 300watt flash heads.

Snow Falls on Bridgend
Everywhere I went this morning I saw budding camera men and women braving the elements in their quest for the perfect composition. And rightly so, for what fabulous scenery a snowscape makes. There is nothing to make a place looking cleaner, brighter, more picturesque than a crisp snow fall. I have several images out of my two hour stint that I am pleased with and this is one of them. As you turn to go down towards Methyr Mawr and the 'Swing Bridge' just before the bridge over the Ogwr near the Tennis Club I was confronted with a picture postcard view, unspoilt my human hand. I hope you like it.
Our Wedding
Watch out for my advert in the January edition of Our Wedding. The advert highlights the truly professional finish you will receive for your perfect day, at a price that's perfect for you.
Latest Photo Shoots
Been a busy time lately for Portrait Shoots, despite leaving my studio in Bridgend Town Centre. These recent sessions have infact been carried out in a spare room at my home! Its amazing what can be achieved with natural light and some fill lights and reflectors.
Grass Roots Galleries Update
Due to the last minute rush I am receiving another batch of print orders from these two galleries. Therefore I am keeping the Galleries open until Wednesday 16th December to accommodate these families. However I cannot go beyond Wednesday as I have to prepare the space for other events coming on line shortly, thank you
Grass Roots Pictures
This was my first Gymnastics Event Shoot and it was a real test of my knowledge and application of my Canon EOS1d! The lighting varied across the 3 floors and I had very little space between the floors to take great shots from.
I thoroughly enjoyed the day and the atmosphere created from this event. There were over 1000 images taken and they have now been viewed over 2600 times!! I have just sent off the latest batch of orders and there are more building towards this weekend.
Dont forget this is the last weekend that the images will be available. I will be keeping some images live as examples of my work.

Wedding Photography 2010
Having produced several wedding albums I am beginning to find the inquiries and bookings coming in for 2010.
This is a great boost to my work and shows the value for money coupled with the quality of the images that is helping to raise interest in my photography.
