Dinah's China

If your looking for a Mad Hatters Tea Party, look no further.

Found in a charming little village, Nempnett Thrubwell, in the depths of Chew Valley (North Bristol). I ventured out to take some photographs of Dinah's delightful china. 







Dinah rents out this beautiful collection of china for weddings, tea party's or any other event that requires this wide range of delicate tea sets. Dinah originally collected her china for her daughters wedding and has since lent it to many satisfied customers! With her website in need of some new photographs (that's where I stepped in) it meant that I got the exciting opportunity to play with, set up and photograph these lovely tea cups!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. And if you ever fancy a more colourful cup of tea then don't hesitate to contact Dinah HERE and keep a look out for my photographs, as they will be featuring on her website soon!

Cornish Seaside

Just a little something from the seaside...





Hopefully these will help cheer up this grey day.

Book Cover

I've been waiting to share these photos with you, partly because I like them and partly because I was waiting for more of a final product. So here's the story:

Not so long ago I was asked to shoot a photograph for a book cover by, Nigel Coles. So once I got given the brief, I scouted out the perfect location - a darling little cafe in Southampton. 

I then took along a friend to assist drinking the all the coffee I would have to purchase. - To set the scene.

Requested permission to photograph the coffee in the cafe and then got rather snap happy. Using my Bronica, Etrs medium format & my Nikon SLR. Here are some of my favourite results from my Bronica...




So friends, eagerly await the final book cover. I will be sharing it with you rather soon...

Olympic nostalgia

Confession, the olympics has got to me. So I'm getting a bit patriotic, which I must admit doesn't come as much of a surprise as I have always loved a good old competition... 



If we're looking for someone to blame, then that medal can go to my eldest brother. He used to spend time teaching me the 100m athletics, olympic men's champs'. (Which I used to know off by heart!) 

So at the risk of my embarrassment I've dug out the little evidence I have...  


It looks like it needs a bit of updating! Bye for now, Emily x
