On Thursday 2nd February 2012, Photo Nottingham celebrated a decade in business with a fantastic party including drinks, nibbles, live music and (of course) a birthday cake!

It was a fantastic opportunity to catch up with colleagues and clients across ten years in business. We were thrilled so see so many familiar faces and thank everyone for making the evening such good fun.

We’d also like to thanks our family and friends who joined in our celebration - thank you all for your support these past years.

Black Swan

Thu, 18 Aug 2011 15:40:11 +0100

Photo Nottingham were approached by a fashion student and aspiring creative director, Robin, to produce his first professional portfolio. His radical designs for make-up and hair were beautiful realised by Zoe, Photo Nottingham’s senior make-up artist. In the Studio, the creative vision of photographers Charlie and Carly produced striking images of model Emma Dalby including these shots inspired by the recent blockbuster ‘Black Swan’.

The post production by in house digital artist, Natalia, enhanced the drama of the photos and resulted in these stunning monochrome and gold images. Truly a spectacular team effort.

It’s time to celebrate some good news!

Photo Nottingham has just won the Click Group Photographer of the Year Award!

The Chesters, who live in Arnold, had their photo put forward by Stuart McIntyre from Photo Nottingham for the Click Group Family Photographer of the Year.

The family of five helped him beat off competition from thousands of entrants from across the country to be named photographer of the year and win £500 for themselves.

The imaginative award winning shot was taken using the studios signature box.

The family, mum Dawn, dad Dave and grown up children Nick, Ryan and Leah had individual and group shots taken within the box – climbing in, climbing out, sitting inside and even kissing.

The studio has just one box measuring 1.5 metres square which the family posed in.

Stuart then compiled the photo digitally from the individual shots to create a unique memento of their session.

Dawn said she’s thrilled with the pictures and delighted for Stuart.

“We had a lot of fun having the photos taken and really enjoyed the session with Stuart. We didn’t see the shot entered for the competition until after the shoot was over – we saw the others on the day – and were really impressed.

“I was surprised at what Stuart had been able to create from a few pics of us in boxes. It all looks very set up – but it wasn’t. These are just a collection of natural photos of me and my family having fun.

Stuart said: “I’m chuffed to bits with this award as it’s my first national title. I wanted to enter something different and a photo that would really stand out from the crowd. The one of the Chester’s was ideal.

The Wedding of Matt & Sara

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 15:42:36 +0100

We were honoured to photograph the wedding of Matthew and Sara recently.

There lifelong passion is for VW camper vans, and members of their club duly brought along a selection of vehicles to use for the pictures. We love it when we get the opportunity to shoot something a little different from the norm, and this was the perfect example!

A Lovely wedding shoot at Woodland Waters, which was a first for us to shoot at and what a gorgeous location it turned out to be!

Because our Wedding coverage lasts all day, we often gets the opportunity to conjure more special shots, such as this magical photo of the new married couple at sunrise.

It was a pleasure to welcome back the girls from the Make-up Artistry VTCT Diploma course at New College Nottingham. Over the past 6 years we’ve had the make up students in our studio for shoots towards their projects and portfolio. They’ve always come with fresh and stylish ideas that have helped build our own fashion portfolio.

We’ve always maintained a strong friendship with NCN and their students, many of them have freelanced at the studio as make up artists.

The Royal Wedding

Sat, 30 Apr 2011 17:26:00 +0100

Unfortunatly Stuart didn’t get asked to take the official Royal Wedding photos this time round, but Stuart still ventured through the crowds of London to Hyde Park for some photos.

It’s a great opportunity for a photographer to capture the nation at such a joyous event, with such a diverse crowd.
