Wow! Rod and Ben’s Seasonal Organic Soup at The Cafe Ode Shaldon. What a wonderful opportunity to combine two things I love. Working as a photographer – which is my passion and my love of all things organic! We set off on an amazingly sunny day from Rod’s beautiful organic farm set in the rolling Devon countryside to take photographs at The Cafe Ode Shaldon. I love Shaldon – I lived there as a child. Everyone was in good cheer and it was great to meet The Cafe Ode owner Tim and all the staff who were super helpful. Rod and Ben’s Soup fits in exactly with the whole ethos of The Cafe Ode which has won awards for its regional produce and sustainability! This is their second year winning the Food For Life Catering Mark Gold, from the Soil association no less. After the photography bit was done I had the pleasure of sampling the delicious RodandBen’s soup. Yummy good! I had tasted their houmous a while ago and its the best I’ve tasted…Here are a few of the photographs from the morning.

Med Theatre Dartmoor | Butter-Girls

Posted on 19th August 201519th August 2015 by Jenny

Always a great pleasure and creative joy to be the photographer for Med Theatre Dartmoor. We went up to Bellever on Dartmoor to photograph some pre-production shots for their upcoming production. The play is a promenade play about the history of Central Dartmoor, beginning with the Bronze Age. The pre-shoot was focusing on a scene about Saxon Dartmoor, when so-called ‘butter-girls’ pastured their cattle for dairying on Dartmoor’s summer grass – although there was always a threat from the Vikings. Here are some of my favourites.

Shadow Walk on Dartmoor

Devon, Dartmoor, Med Theatre photographer

Always a great pleasure to work with Med Theatre. This was a publicity photoshoot for an upcoming production – The Walk Dance Drama. The shoot took place on Dartmoor on a bright sunny day with lots of shadows and high contrast…usually a photographer’s nightmare! But this time the choice was deliberate – to photograph three young dancers with the sun casting shadows. Fabulous afternoon with lovely people. These are some previews of my favourite photographs.

The first performance will be at Bridford Woodland Trust Amphitheatre on August 1st at 4.00pm.

BBA Boat Launch | Lyme Regis

Devon, country, boat building photographer

Another gloriously sunny day for the BBA boat launch in Lyme Regis for the Class of September 2014. The students of The Boat Building Academy launched eight boats on Wednesday 10th June, each built as part of their intensive 38 week training, into Lyme Regis harbour.

The boats were walked from the Academy’s workshops on Monmouth Beach to the slipway at Lyme Regis harbour, where champagne corks popped as the boats slid into the water for the first time. Gail McGarva (BEM) was there in her waders, as were friends and family of the students, Academy graduates, representatives from the marine press and industries and the people of Lyme Regis.

Boats launched were a 22’ Nordlands boat, 20’ Seabird Half Rater (the oldest one-design class boat still sailing), 15’2 Iain Oughtred ‘Whilly Tern’, 14’ faering, 13’ Iain Oughtred ‘Acorn Skiff’, 12’ Andrew Wolstenholme ‘Mallard’ dinghy, 18’ Guillemot ‘Night Heron’ kayak and the restoration of a 10’ traditional clinker dinghy named ‘Swallow’, believed to have been originally built by Naval apprentices.

Here are some previews of my favourites from the day. and this is a link to the main Gallery: June 2015 Launch
