This Friday we have Sexy Susie and Santa at the studio, so if you are after some great images for Christmas cards please get in touch we are charging £50 an hour for Susie inc. studio rental, and if you want some pics with Santa a donation to East Anglian Childrens Hospice would be much appreciated.I'm often asked what The Works Studio has that all the others don't? Many other studios look much nicer than ours they have fancy laminate flooring and nicely decorated changing rooms, and all the latest Apple Mac editing computers, well the simple answer is ME! okay this might sound incredible arrogant, but fortunately it's true, I have been a full time professional studio photographer for well over ten years, and a semi professional for nearly thirty years. I have served my time in professional studio shooting on most film formats from 35mm to 10x8 plate cameras. I'm a Associate of the Royal Photographic Society I'm not some guy who has decided they would like to do a bit of photography and got a digital camera and opened a studio. I actually understand light, I actually learnt the art of lighting both at Cambridge School of Art under the world famous photographer Hag, and have assisted such photographers as Tony Middleton. I'm know as the professor of lighting by many of our clients and have taught most of the local photographers their lighting skills, but it's not all about knowledge it's about how you can teach it, I'm a qualified teacher and have taught at HND and Degree and supervised at Phd level at Cambridge. Having said that whilst The Works might not have fancy laminate flooring, it certainly has the best lighting around, from it's world beating Elinchrom 1.9m octabank to it's Bowens Ringflash pro. but more importantly it also has someone who knows how to use it. and if you don't like flash we have a complete set of 5 Redheads and a 1Kw Photo-beard broad light the real ones not the crappy imports from China. however the most important thing is our studio is of proper proportions, it's not a room with a low ceiling painted white where it's impossible to produce anything except high key images, our studio has a ceiling over 20 foot high and is dark grey so low key lighting is easy, you can always tell the quality of a hire studio by the calibre of it's customers, and we are very proud to boast some pretty illustrious photographers using us, and have been used by Practical Photography magazine for their 16 page article on nude photography, and have photographers travel from all over Europe to use out space, sorry we don't cater for the so called "guys with cameras". if you want to perv at naked model and take a few snaps you probably won't feel very comfortable at The Works, however if you are a creative photographer you will love our studio.
Any business is based on it's service and it's staff, and The Works is no exception. we know we have the best staff around. in fact we really are THE WORKS!
