Interview In Matchday Program vs Hartlepool United, originally uploaded by I Am Martin!.

So recently I've been photographing models for the first ever Colchester United merchandise catalogue.

All thats left is to photograph a couple of players for the front cover.

Matt, media manager at the club was kind enough to dedicate 2 pages to a feature about the photoshoot.

I'm so happy with this, and thanks to Lee and Matt.

Brought this song on Itunes last night and haven't stopped listening since. The chorus guitar riff is so simple but brilliant. Might buy the album now.

Beyond Group Exhibition '09

This weekend I attended my first exhibition, the Beyond Group annual exhibition of 2009.

I was really glad to see my image on the big screen during the 'mono' section! Although I wish I'd had more accepted now!!

Also got to meet some of the memebers from the Beyond Group family, which I was really looking forward to, as well as Flickr friend Angie Adams and one of my greatest influences..Colin Summers.

It was brilliant to meet him and talk all things photography!

The exhibition itself was much better than I had imagined! Colour images were shown first followed by monochrome. Refreshments were first class, especially the scones! Special mention to Chrissie Gamble!

Unfortunately I didn't win anything on the raffle :( I had my eyes on the 'arena' book but didn't win.

Such a great afternoon.

New Banner!

I've made myself a new banner.

I'd just like to say, the image and text (I Am Martin) may make you think that I'm the man in the image..I am not!

Photoshoot went really well by the way!

Colchester United Catalogue

I'm currently preparing to do something different. Shooting models for a merchandise catalogue! Can't wait. I always enjoy trying something new and this is certainly new. The models were chosen from Colchester United fans via the club website.

I've done tonnes of research and location scouting for this..Probably too much as I already had both location and composition in mind. But its always good to look about.

I've seen a 4 page - first draft of the catalogue, which will contain 32 pages and I'm really impressed with the design. If the production company can improve from the first draft it'll be brilliant! I really can't wait to get my hands on a few copies.

I'll take some photos when it's done and post them for all to see.

Take care,
Martin

This is Avignon.

Lovely city with an ancient city wall which is still intact unlike Colchester's! The palace and the height of the image is the palace of the Popes, a grand building - rich in history.
