New Workshop Dates
Finally, I've got around to booking some days to teach more workshops... And the first of those dates are Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th of May.
Tommy Martin Workshop Attendees in Askham Woods
On Saturday 26th May, we'll be doing a one day Landscape Workshop.
We meet at 10am, at my studio in Askham, a few miles south of Penrith. We start with a session in the studio, making sure that everyone has got a firm grasp of some of the technical issues of digital photography, before heading out into some of my favourite hunting grounds in search of some real live landscapes to shoot. We'll take a break for lunch before heading back out for another walk.
On the Sunday May 27th we will be spending the day concentrating on finishing images and the art of turning digital files into finished prints. This day is really intended for as follow-on to the landscape workshop. It's ideal for people who joined us on Saturday, or for those who have attended previous workshop days, but anyone looking to improve their finished landscape work is very welcome.
The cost for each of these very full days is £125... or £200 if you book for both days.
Places are limited to 7 people on each day.
For bookings, or simply to ask questions, please contact info@tommymartinphotography.com, or call the studio on 01931 712 320.

Karl Bowman Runway Show 2012
Karl Bowman Runway Show, Carlisle 2012
I was asked to shoot Karl Bowman's 2012 runway show at the weekend. A fantastic night, with an amazing collection of couture dresses inspired by 50's Hollywood glamour.
The thoroughly professional Pete and Lou from Pink Tulip Photography (http://www.pinktulip.co.uk) were also on hand shooting stills, along with Andy Murray and the Red Squirrel Blues crew shooting video. I think between us we should have pretty much every angle covered. I look froward to seeing everyone elses footage and shots. I look forward to getting to end of the mammoth editing job that lies in front me... Meanwhile, here's the very first shot from the opening of the show...

New Work Show Opening September 10th
This weekend (September 10th, 2011) sees the opening of my new work exhibition at my gallery.
Working on the principle that setting deadlines is only to guarantee that I'll get anything finished, this weekend sees the unveiling of 20(ish) brand new, previously unseen prints of my landscape work.
Going through a whole years' work and whittling it down to the final set started out as a pretty daunting task. I started with a "shortlist" of 170 images to edit. A few long days were required as the deadline got closer, but I think it's been well worth the effort.
The show opens at the weekend and will remain in the gallery until the end of the year. The most popular of the new images will work their way into the permanent portfolio.
We'll be adding the new images to this website over the next few days.

Sprayway Spring-Summer 2012 Catalogue
Sprayway Spring-Summer 2012
Earlier this year I was commissioned by Sprayway to undertake a series of shoots, combining Lake District landscapes with walkers modelling some of next years' range of outdoor clothing.
We set out to use real outdoorsy people rather than agency models and I had the pleasure of working with some really nice folk in some really beautiful settings. I think we're all pretty pleased with the results and I'm looking forward to shooting with this team again soon.

Studio Shoot with Karl Bowman
Karl Bowman Studio Shoot 1
I'm currently putting the finishing touches to my latest chromakey studio session, this time a shoot with the very talented haute couture fashion designer, Karl Bowman.
It was a fun shoot, and a chance to work with some fantastic models. The plan now is produce a series of highly stylized images, putting each of Karl's dresses into settings that suit their distinct styles.
