Latest Commission: SAPS Science and Plants for Schools Photographer

After a successful photography commission for the Cambridge University Botanic Garden I was recommended to the Marketing team at SAPS based at the Botanic Garden in Cambridge to take photographs for some of their new marketing collateral.  The photography undertaken was very similar to the previous shoot for the CUBG except that all the children were 15 -16 and were visiting the garden as part of a week long tour of Cambridge University. Obviously this meant that I was capturing reportage style images with very little intervention or posing of the subjects. The brief was to capture the students looking interested  and engaged in there activities.

Latest Commission: Cintra Website Photography – Cambridge based translation and interpreting service

Cintra’s new website is now live. The cambridge based translation and interpreting company asked me to photograph their staff over 2 days in August to provide assets for a new website. Due to the high number of calls made to the companies booking team and the different staff available on any given day. It was not possible to shoot all of the staff together at one time and so we decided to shoot the group of about 20 staff in 4 groups which were then comped together using photoshop. An example of the result will be posted soon.

Not sure who to vote for?

If your not sure who to vote for in the forth coming UK elections on the 5th May. This site may help you decide Vote for Policies. The idea is that you read anonymously the key points from all the parties manifestos then decide which you like the most. The site will then provide you with a breakdown of how you scored. So you may found you have voted for mostly Labour policies, but you may have found you also voted for BNP and the Green party polices as well. Its an interesting way of comparing the different policies on all the main issue of Crime, Welfare, Immigration, Education and Environment etc.

Not sure wether this helps decide with local election candidates. In Cambridge it might be useful.

Commercial Photographer Alex Orrow website and Portfolio Update

A new facility is now available for clients and image buyers to access photographs online via a gallery website. The galleries can be configured to be accessible to specific clients and only by those invited. Public access galleries of commercially available stock photography and personal event photography are accessible by anyone and are fully searchable. Full resolution downloads can be made available as well as the ability to create a lightbox of favourite images which in turn can be shared with other registered users. All galleries are equipped with social media sharing tools and email tools. Tools are also available to provide code to embed slideshows on a website or blog of choice.

The galleries can be accessed via the client area of my  commercial portfolio website or by invitation. An internet search of a gallery name could also provide another access point.
