Gay Pride

Zine / Fish n Chips wanted to get an inside look at what really goes on during Amsterdam’s Legendary Gay Pride Boat Parade. That’s why we sent our intrepid photographer, Benjamin Arthur, onto one of the boats to find out. I have to admit to feeling a bit nervous about joining one of the Pride…

Food photography at events

Most events have a super abundance of yummy food for attendees and in between shooting the participants and event speakers I sometimes sneak in a food shot or two. It helps add some colour and, as with weddings, details help bring an event to life. I thought I’d share a few of my favourites and…

A visit to the zoo.

Personally I’m not a fan of zoos although I do recognize that many of them do important work in helping keep certain species alive – even thriving. But generally the only place for magnificent beasts like these lionesses is the African Savannah. I wouldn’t mind walking around a zoo full of beautiful animal bronzes like…

Fun photoshoot in the Amsterdam Forest

Now I live so close to the Amsterdam Forest (Het Amsterdamse Bos!) I am going to start shooting there more and more. And what’s not to love?

He was amusing, interesting and intelligent and told a great story about his interaction with the lift attendant in HM Treasury just before the recent British General Election. He was everything you’d expect of an alumni…

Also I personally love the light in the BvB – best conference venue in Amsterdam in my view! Here’s my pick of some essential…

Brand Loyalty Vestingloop

Another year… another incredible Vestingloop in Den Bosch. This year, my client, Brand Loyalty were the main sponsors and of course it was bigger and better than ever. What a fabulous day which I hope has been captured in these images. Just a few personal faves from several hundred which captured the essence of the…

Headshots can be fun too!

During a couple of recent events my clients have asked me if I could take a few headshots of some key staff members for their websites. I wasn’t expecting to be asked and so lack the sort of lighting rig that one would normally want to use for corporate headshots. My top 5 tips as…

Blue evenings in Amsterdam

As always happens during the glorious long weeks of early June we are having some fabulous blue evenings in Amsterdam right now. This is when the canals look their very very best and when I am not busy editing, I like to hit the streets with my tripod. Here are a few I took during…
