Images by Glenn Brown ( Fashion )

Currently promoting myself for future work. These images are from last year, taken up the coast of suffolk. I can do studio or location work, with models or just products. If you are interested in booking me for future projects please email: glenn@lemontree-studio.co.uk.

Lord Isaacs

Selection of images from the Lord Isaacs, Ipswich. The Merchant House hadn't been lived in for the last 50 years, but the last 6 months they worked hard and done the place up to take guests at Isaacs.

Coffee Link

This image is from my good friend Azzous the coffee man ( Coffee Link ) Salam brother. Check out his coffee blend down on the waterfront. Much better than starbuck or Costa, Azzous buys in green beans from around the world, blends them and roasts them. Trust me when that coffee smell hits you it's the best ever.

Tattoo baby

Something a little different from your standard baby shot.

Another tough job by Glenn Brown. Anybody know what CD Cover this is from???????

My client wanted to replicate for her husband as it was his favorite album.

Isaacs of Ipswich

Thought I'd share these images with you all, Isaacs of ipswich which is across the road from Lemon Tree Studio on Fore Street, have opened their machine room for tours this coming summer. It's a sight to see when it's working. Once powered by a steam engine this machine is a beast.

Australia sometime in the 90's

Digging around last week, trying to find some random item, I came across a load of 120 slides from my time in Australia back in the 90's. It was a time when I could just take off do a trip and find work along the way.  I managed to shoot a few things with my then trusty Mamiya 6x7 with only a 90mm lens, which meant having to get up close to my subject.
Back then I was always able to blag my way into many different places, thanks to my press card, which was also blagged years before when I worked for a news paper. My croc images was taken at a crocodile farm near Townsville, I simply flashed my press card and the owner took me around and let me photograph what ever I wanted. Instead of shooting from a safe distance the owner came up with the idea of getting me up close. As I took these images I had the owner standing just off to one side of me holding only a stick for protection. I had a great day getting up close to Crocodiles, snakes, and Dingos with no health and safety  apart from that stick.
About a week later I met another photographer who worked for a small town news paper. He was a great contact as he got me in the little known Australian Rodeo scene. Again it was pretty much access all areas. I would stand behind the rodeo clown waiting for the Bull to be released, then experience 8 seconds of madness trying to get an image without getting chased down by the Bull. All in all I had a blast and everyone there look after me.
Looking back it was a great time, and although I don't recall making that much money on these two jobs I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

I hope you enjoy?

It's official, I am a blogger. I have been looking forward to doing my blog all week, and although i don't have many pearls of wisdom, i do feel the blog platform is allowing me to reach more people that share the same interest in photography as I do.

Anyway, this weeks images are from the past 2009 & 2010 but they may not have been seen by too many people. Mt Saint Michelle is a 360 degree image made up of 38 images, and although this was just a short family break with very little time for photography I managed to get a couple of good shots from the trip. Ipswich Water Front at night is a 180 degree image taken in the summer 2010. It's an on going project for me, as the water front keeps changing as it is being developed. My favorite building has to be the Customs House as it looks great at night.

My last image is Wolves Wood near Hadleigh. Its a great place for a walk for any keen photographer, both winter and summer. There is so much to see and the light through the trees gives you a really nice green, but equally stunning in the snow.

That's about it for this sunday, but next week we are doing Australia. I found a whole load of 120 slides from a trip to Australia back in 1998 ish , so i'll be posting a few to share with you.

Enjoy the images this week and please leave me some feedback, I know i had 241 hits last week so I am hoping to hit 300 this week.

Cheers Glenn

Well here we go 2011, I have made a promise to myself that I'll be mostly blogging this year.

As well as blogging I must concentrate on my landscape photography and my chosen format.

For the last 4 years I have been working with a panoramic format which involves taking 180 and 360 degree images, It's proved very popular with people who are looking for something different to hang on their walls and although i have made some sales I feel if I provided more landscapes and set up a gallery at the studio i could do better.

I produce two different sizes, 48x14 at £200 or 72x18 at £300. These are all printed to canvas and stretched over a frame as well as being UV sealed.

Of course being based in Suffolk I'll be trying very hard to capture nice Suffolk landscapes, but hopefully I well have the chance to do a bit of traveling around the country, so I'll try and secure landscapes further afield. I do go to London now and then for work, Mostly photographing big wigs at London firms wanting to update their head shots ( It's good money and pays the bills). By all accounts London is still very hard to photograph as you often get stop by police and security, wanting to know what you are up to.

One of my most popular London prints is Liverpool Street which you can see posted. I managed to get this image only because I had another job to do at the station and had a press pass from the station master, so I thought while I am here I might as well push my luck. It's been a good seller and to date I have sold 6 canvas, mostly to city types.

If you are local do come to the studio and see are gallery as we have most of my current landscapes hanging in the gallery, or if you live further afield feel free to contact us.

Thats my blog for now, but hopefully next Sunday I'll have more to say.
