The Sisterhood – used in The National Press – and Highly Commended

Posted on August 19, 2012 by graham

While on a four day break with my family on holiday, I ‘bumped into’ Emma Sayle from The Sisterhood at Aberdeen Asset Management at Cowes week in the high street. Following a quick conversation Emma took me to the press office where I was quickly accredited with her help, and my photos, distributed by matrixpictures.co.uk of the Sisterhood on their yacht were used in The Daily Telegraph and The London Evening Standard. I then submitted the image used by The London Evening Standard to the monthly competition of the Society of Wedding and portrait photographers August competition – where my photograph received a ‘Highly commended’ score. http://swppusa.com/competition/displayimage.php?album=222&pid=10275#top_display_media  Not bad for a day off!

…cooling off in Gerrards Cross pond on a hot day….

Posted on July 27, 2012 by graham

Georgi Barratt from The Bachelor 2011 came for a photo-shoot following her appearance in a feature I shot for OK! magazine, where she came as my guest with April Banbury. A beautiful young lady and a wonderful sunrise  – we needed was water and the local pond came in handy. After the photo-shoot she kindly wrote;

‘I have worked with Graham on a number of shoots now and always find him to be a true professional and a fantastic photographer. He always gives great direction and has a a wicked sense of humour, creating an enjoyable atmosphere for everyone involved. He is an absolute pleasure to work with, a true gentleman and I can not wait to work with him again soon….Georgi Barratt’
I can’t wait either!

Polka dots, red dress and a yellow field.

Posted on June 13, 2012 by graham

I met the highly talented Laura Moore. fashion designer, at an event I photographed for OK! magazine. We decided on a spontaneous shoot, which nearly made me miss my curry with the lads as the best light coincided with the onion baji’s. Amazing model and amazing dress – and I still made the curry night! See ‘There’s a talented fashion designer wearing her Summer collection in my forest!” for more of her work and to see the testimonial she wrote me.

There’s a talented fashion designer wearing her Summer collection in my forest!

Posted on June 12, 2012 by graham

I first met Laura Moore at a job I was photographing for OK! magazine. So impressed was I with her collection and her look that I invited her to collaborate in a spontaneous photo-shoot outdoors, knowing the results would be amazing. These are a few from loads we took, Laura’s work can be seen at http://www.facebook.com/LauraMooreFashion

Following the shoot Laura kindly wrote me the following testimonial;

“I recently shot with Graham Reading with a super spontaneous idea in amazing locations of yellow flower beds and forest settings. I have to say that shoot was absolutely fantastic and I really enjoyed it. Graham was extremely diverse and adaptable photo shooting to my ideas and he really made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The shoot was fun, professional and really light hearted which shines through in the photographs. The results are truly outstanding and I am overwhelmed with the final pictures. The results are to a very high standard and I would highly recommend people to use Graham”s Reading’s photography for an occasion even if it is for a bit of spontaneous photography. I’d like to say a massive thank you for my amazing photographs and the feedback I have from them has been positively immense. Thank you. Laura Moore”

White dress and wellies.

Posted on May 16, 2012 by graham

Timea came for a pre-wedding photo-shoot in a yellow rapeseed oil field. Although it was the first sunny day for ages, she wore wellies which came in very handy when we ventured into the muddy field.  www.grahamreading.com
