I was asked to cover the launch of an event catering company by the name of Fusion Outdoors. Sounds nice, I thought. Location catering for events and yadda yadda yadda, met them all before and all pretty much samey blah blah blah. oops! I was then told this company was actually a new venture for an established high class restaurant in Preston, the Fusion Room
I’ve already talked about this particular shoot in a previous entry. But this one image grabs my attention every time I see it, no matter what I’m doing. The whole assignment had several challenges on the evening, especially with it taking place in a very busy bar on their busiest night of the week. But the main priority was to get the required image.
In a follow up to the last post (Dare to be Different), things seem to be moving rather quickly for Rachel and her new company. More models, more creative ideas from Rachel, and more venues. This particular assignment had a few interesting points.

The idea of working a very long day, under someone elses direction, doesn't seem to appeal to a lot of photographers. Tell them they'll be doing it for free, and you tend to lose any audience you have. But there are occasions when it should be given careful consideration.
Lytham Proms 2010 was organised by Passion 4 Events for Cuffe and Taylor, and organised it certainly was! 5,000 guests plus VIPs and headlining guests including Lesley Garrett, Joanne Marie, Chloe Walker, Caroline Hunt, Beverley Alexander and more. And what an evening it turned out to be…..
I was asked to get some images of White Power Suspension products in action during the MotoX des Nations. This proved to be a very enjoyable assignment, as I was also asked to provide images for a couple of magazines and ad agency.
