I photographed the Debra Lamb School of dance a week ago. The pupils of the school were at their dress rehearsal of their annual show and were able to pose for me in between their dance numbers. All the pupils hair was neat and attractive and they all had fun posing for the camera. I sold the photographs with my assistant John on Saturday a week later at the theatre. The parents loved the photographs. Having had an extensive career in dance I can help the poses come to life and capture any jump or leap. Though everybody has camera phones and digital cameras not many people have equipment to set up a studio and this is a cost effective way of getting studio shots of your children for just £10 per photograph including a mount. If any Dance Schools are interested in Elaine Mayson Photography visiting their school then selling the photographs at the annual display/show then contact her on 0208 977 0319
I will travel any where within England subject to the size of school or the number of pupils to be photographed. I am happy to travel to Scotland or abroad but my travel and accomodation costs would need to be paid.
Added bonus I pay the school 10% of my earnings
Weddings
I visited the Battersea Wedding Designer Show. It was good fun! It was all on behalf of research as I am thinking of exhibiting at the fair. However it was Valentines Day and what the heck! Lets enjoy ourselves. Yes it was my boyfriends idea so off we went by car tube and then luxury ...taxi to the show. The fair is in a modern tent like building and there is a large cafe as you enter. All the muscians take their turns to sing or play to the captive audience. It is a good idea. We wandered round the stands and did the research then watched the designer wedding show. I loved the models hair styles!. Exquisite. Hairdresser Michael Van Clarke is a genius. Look him up on the web.
Working too hard we decided a glass of champagne and a moment of romance was needed. As we sat sipping the bubbly the models waltzed between the tables in divine cocktail dresses and adorable shoes. They stopped infront of my man and smiled at him hoping he would jump up and rush off to buy the outfit for me! However he kept seated enjoying the attention immensely.After visiting my friend Beach on his DJ Sliding Vinyl ( excellent DJ book him now) stand we decided enough was enough of romance and we caught the complimentary bus back to Sloane Square and home.
Will I be asking for permission to exhibit?. I don't think so only because there were thirteen photographers all selling similar work to a limited but hopefully for them serious and wealthy brides.
Tips on the dresses out there for you in 2010
If you are tall it is great to have the shape of dress that hugs yours hips and then flares out at your calf. Very flattering. Not everybody suits strapless dresses. Try on other styles you might be surprised how beautiful a v or rounded neck line can be on you.If you are getting married in a large church then I would go for a train or a long veil. Its the entrance of your life so make the most of it. Great for my photographs as well!
