While Summer sees a downturn in many businesses, life at Princes House is neither quiet nor dull! We continue to benefit from the joys of doing our own thing, while sharing in the value of being a collective.Add Comment Just look at these beautiful big prints that Simon Burt took in our photo shoot adorning the walls of this incredible building... don't they look like they were simply meant to be there? This is one tiny peek at the many faceted transformation of Princes House as the collective all work together to re-invigorate the building ready for the big launch party on Thursday night. You currently can't move in the marble floored main hallway for boxes ... Capella's salon furniture was all delivered today, and boy is it luxurious and totally perfect for Sarah's transformation to the downstairs salon. Such a dreamy environment in which to pamper and prettify for your special occasion, or just well - because! Are YOU coming to the launch event? What's this I hear, why not? You're invited! Just rsvp by emailing [email protected] or filling out the form here - and while you're doing that, we'll put the bubbles on chill :-) See you on Thursday 7th Feb 6-8pm It has been a whirlwind start to 2013! If I thought that I was going to be nicely eased back in to work after my two week break over Christmas I was very wrong! My regular clients have been keeping me busy and a couple of new customers have ‘come on board’. Superfast Cornwall are busy bringing faster internet to the county and the other day I went to Zelah near Truro to photograph BT Openreach Engineers cheerfully disappearing in to holes in the ground to replace the aging cables. If you would like to find out when you can expect to have Superfast Broadband check this site http://www.superfastcornwall.org/line-checker.html Fifteen Cornwall are having a major refit at the moment, re-opening on the 11th February. As part of their marketing campaign we have been working on a series of adverts. One has already featured on this blog and we have shot a couple since then including this one. They say never work with children and animals but this bunch of mini chefs behaved impeccably . I can’t wait to see what http://wearesuperfantastic.com/ do with the pictures! While I was at the restaurant I took the opportunity to update their sommelier Gordie’s publicity pictures. Hope you like this one! www.fifteencornwall.co.uk/ Lillicrap Chilcott were the first to use my new studio. Their three new recruits came in to Princes House for their Corporate Portraits. It was good to see my clients making use of the new facility which is very handy for Truro businesses and if you’re coming in from out of town there are plenty of conveniently situated car parks to choose from. www.waterfrontandcountryhomes.com/ I’ve been working with two hotels this month. The Alverton in Truro which is under new ownership is having a massive makeover courtesy of the brilliant team at www.designbyfriends.co.uk The work is well underway and their new website is just about finished thealverton.co.uk I’ve also been spending lots of time at The Tregenna Castle Hotel, St Ives where I’ve been shooting refurbished bedrooms and some of the 70 luxury cottages and apartments. The main bulk of the work is nearly finished with just the occasional seasonal update to do. The website is under construction by the wonderful www.creativenetwork.co.uk It’s not hard to see why the hotel won Best Kept Secret 2012 for ‘Best View’. I had a blast from the past the other day when The Times Picture Desk called me to shoot a feature on tea at Tregothnan near Truro. I’m more used to working in the Commercial Photography world these days! It was a pleasure to with Abby their Marketing Exec who modelled beautifully and Commercial Director Jonathan Jones who also modelled for me! The feature was about fighting back against the proliferation of coffee houses which seem to be taking over the world! Although Tregothnan only produces 10 tonnes of tea, its quality has attracted so much attention that almost half of it is exported to areas including India and China – the centre of production of the world’s tea. That’s quite a boast! tregothnan.co.uk There have been other jobs this month, too many to mention them all here and a couple which haven’t been published yet so check back in the next few weeks. Finally the project that has been taking most of my evenings and weekends since last September…..Princes House, Truro where I have my studio and office. I’m proud to share this fabulous building with an incredible group of Cornwalls finest. Check out the website and if you can make it to our launch on the evening of 7th Feb we will be very pleased to see you. www.princeshousecornwall.com |
