The 2009 Blog

So we are 10 days into 2010 and I’ve been meaning to write this blog for a week or so now but I’ve been to busy/lazy and snowed in to get round to actually finish writing it.

So a full year has passed and we are now in 2010 – The last year has flown by but it’s been a really good one. I have never taken as many photographs as I have in the last 12 months. I have got to so many amazing shows and had the chance to photograph and work with so many great people in the studio.

My year kick started pretty fast with my photography. Back in January, I got a call from Lisa (now my business partner) who runs a casting agency called NE8 Castings. She wanted me to shoot some of her actors and models for their online portfolios on her website. After the first shoot things had gone so well that we were already in talks with going into business together with our own photography studio (New Age Studios).

By March this year we had our own studio set up and running, the website took a little longer to get up and running and didn’t launch until September. The business has gone from strength to strength over the last year slowly building a name and a reputation as a photography company in Gateshead and Newcastle.
