I was asked by Wilmington Grammar School For Girls to shoot their 6th Form prospectus having photographed the lower school back in 2006. It was a pleasure to be with some great teachers and very pleasant and well natured students. A large shoot list and low light required flexible and fast use of speedlights. Every single shot required light to be created – foreground and background – where it did not exist naturally.

I’ve been working with the Independent Schools Council for the last 3 years and this year’s annual conference photography was at a new location – Inmarsat neat Old Street. Guest speakers included Chris (Lord) Patten and former BBC Education Correspondent James Westhead.

The River Centre in Tonbridge was the setting for the Kent Design Awards. Geoff Clark did a superior job as MC for the night. A mausoleum, primary school and pier were amongst the winners at the 2010 Kent Design Awards. The awards celebrate design excellence in the county and were first staged in 2003 and are usually held every two years. Darnley Mausoleum in Cobham won Project of the Year as well as the Conservation & Craftsmanship Category.

You’ll find me in the experts’ Q&A section again of the Your Kent Wedding magazine talking about whether your photographer has experience or not – so I couldn’t resist putting these in the blog from last summer!

I wanted to briefly pass on some good news and additional capabilities should you require them!

As part of their expansion and refurbishment and in order to better serve a rapidly growing commercial customer base, Waterham Studios in Kent are including Tim Stubbings Photography as an associate, meaning that I can provide for you:

- 580 square feet raised ceiling commercial studio shooting space
- high quality product and advertising photography with live view monitors
- air conditioned meeting and viewing space with 42” plasma screen
- changing facilities

I’ve been an admirer of John Burgess and Waterham Studios for a long time and this associate scheme means that I can now offer Waterham’s many years of high-end commercial studio expertise to my client base whilst at the same time being able to give Waterham extended capacity for location and editorial work in return. I’ve spent the last few years trying to find the best location for a studio that is local to me and with Waterham the facilities are excellent. I’m hoping that there will also be opportunities to expand the provision of training courses to include more studio sessions with the people at Waterham.

John Burgess of Waterham Studios says “Waterham Photographic Studios is growing to the extent that we’re establishing a small number of Associates like Tim following our refurbishment. Everything that he needs to run a studio-based business is available here. Our success means that we’re not always available to cover all of the work and having Associates involved allows us to offer a wider range and greater choice to our clients. By working in association with other professionals whom you trust and respect in the industry and who can call upon each other should they encounter issues or need advice, we’re on our way to achieving the long term goal of a Centre of Photography for Kent.”

I shot some pictures today for some of the stylists at Robert Mitchell. The purpose was for a competition entry with two different themes. We shot outside and in (abandoning one of my urban concrete underpass locations because the graffiti had been removed!). Robert Mitchell will also use some of these pictures on their website. If you have any web, brochure or other commercial photography needs please have a look at www.timstubbings.co.uk. Technical stuff – I travelled light today: 1 camera, 1 lens, 2 speedlights, pocket wizards and a reflector. If you’d like to improve your own camera skills why not come to the next course on 21st March in Canterbury?
