..the colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky…

 

Driving back from photographing Ladies Day at Royal Ascot I saw this amazing rainbow. I ‘chased’ it for about half an hour to a suitable horizon and then captured it on camera in the rain. The Sunday Telegraph and Mail online both published it. See this and other news items also on the website – www.grahamreading.com

Sisterhood Ball in OK! magazine

I was invited to photograph the Sisterhood ball and submit to OK! magazine because I am regularly commissioned by them for party photography. The magazine ran it as a half page. The event raised a lot of money for the Royal Marsden hospital. More of my work is on the website www.grahamreading.com

Charlotte Dutton and daughter Monroe’s first professional photo-shoot.

This year she brought daughter Monroe to the studio for a valentine themed shoot, and the Ealing Gazette picked up the story.

Pierre Garroudi London Fashion Week Show

My

My friend Giovanni invited me  to Pierre Garroudi’s amazing London Fashion Week show at Crucifix Street at his studio under the rail arches.

I needed a miracle as I arrived at 8.50pm for a 9pm start and my view was restricted of the runway. I threw up a quick prayer and the photographer in front of me suddenly re-positioned his tripod allowing me to sit centre front, my favourite position. That’s not  the first time my prayers have been answered!

From there I had a fantastic view and enjoyed an array of fabulous models making intriguing movements and shapes as they ‘catwalked’. A thoroughly entertaining show!

I sent a large selection of photos to the National Newspapers and an agency to send to the magazines.

Ilda Di Vico Valentine Photo-shoot

I first photographed Ilda a few years ago at Royal Ascot. I could see how well dressed she was and her photograph was used in Berkshire Life magazine who I was freelancing for. Over the years, and many photos later, we have become friends. Ilda came to the studio for a valentine themed photoshoot. We didn’t need a model as she was the ideal mannequin [stunning!] for the amazing heart shape hat she created for the shoot. Last year her hats featured heavily in the national press at Royal Ascot [Times front page]. If I were a lady I would be rummaging on her shelves. Contact her if you need a ‘titfa’. www.ildadivico.com
