And another done, Mathew Packer Photography

Managed to finish off another website today, seems to be the flavour of the week. I wanted a really clean, uncluttered setup for my portfolio and I think I’ve achieved it with the new Mathew Packer Photography website.

Let me know what you think.

Spending most of the weekend in the studio, Cath’s away so I’m all on my lonesome. If you’re in Newcastle and you fancy a spot of modeling then leave me a comment.

Have a good weekend.

Here’s a couple of photos

These were shot on the weekend for some family friends.

MPM Studios, coming soon

Recently I signed an agreement to rent some space on Hunter Street, Newcastle, where I’m in the process of setting up a photography studio. It’s going to be a very basic setup, those tend to work the best with studios as you’ve then got more options to modify it each time you shoot.

Yesterday afternoon I spent a few hours in the ’studio’ painting the undercoat on the main walls to get rid of the horrid colours that were already there. I’ve got one more coat to get done before I would cal it ‘white’ and after that it’ll just be doing some final ‘tidy up’ work like removing the carpets and a little bit of patching work.

The above photo is from where you enter the space, I’ll be putting in some single chairs, a desk, and some rugs.

The below photo is where I will hang a seamless backdrop and have it setup as the main shooting area, though with the size of the area and all the different walls and what not I think there are a multitude of places to shoot depending on what you’re trying to achieve. I’ll also be taking in all the props and odds and ends I’ve collected that could be interesting to include in photos, as well as a bit of a library of my photography books and magazines.

If you’re interested in renting the space from me some time, or if you’re a model and would like to shoot with me, either leave a comment or send me an email via my contact page

Lastnight Cath and went down to the ‘Cambo’ to go and catch Amathyst play as part of the Club Blink launch / Friday 13th gig. As usual Amathyst performed well, can’t fault those girls one bit. Anyway, here’s a few photos I shot, there may be some audio and video to come later on.
