Photo Shoot with cars and girls!

A fun day out photographing cars and girls for client Retail Charity. A hard way for a Newcastle Photographer to earn a living!

Well just got back from another photography job from the online charity shopping site ‘retail-charity.com’ the mandate can you shoot beautiful girl with super sports cars for some p.r shots for both organisations for next year.

Well of course i would be a fool to refuse such an offer and i do like to do my bit as Harry Enfield would say ‘do a lot of great work for charity but don’t want to talk about it’but of course i do keep it quiet I’m just saying …you know what i mean… anyway havn’t seen much of him recently….

Ferraris, Lamborghini, Porsche, the list was endless. I had a fantastic day the staff were great, they run a great set of packages if you ever fancy an adrenalin packed day with lots of variety in the types of vehicle and coaching and all the rest of it…they are very well organised and from an outsiders point of view i think its excellent value.

The lady who i photographed was called ‘Emily Clark’ i hope i spelt her name correctly she was polite and fun and a bit of a handful ..quite literally as you will see from the pics…but it made a nice change, so many people i have worked with over the years dont realise how lucky they are to earn good money from looking good.

Of course in my day i turned down hundreds of such offers for myself but you know how it is…but she does enjoy what she does and has her future planned and well organised so good luck to her.

I will put some examples up next week when i get back from another job that i am leaving for tomorrow…I have to go to a chap called Dave West’s club in London to shoot something not sure what.

Apparently its a suprise…

Tinchy Stryder – by THE Newcastle Music Photographer!

Tinchy Strider photographed by Thompson Gale almost a year ago

Thompson Gale Photography was in at the beginning with UK Rapper Tinchy Stryder, taking the first pictures nearly a year ago.

I was watching MTV only yesterday and yet again UK rapper Tinchy Stryder. He has gained some momentum recently. Just shows you how quickly the music business moves. It was only ten months ago when myself and Alex Chandon directed a video for an unknown artist called ‘3face’ and one of the featured artists in the video called ‘different world’ was Tinchy.

Correct me if I am wrong but I was under the impression at the time that he was relatively unknown other than in the ‘grime scene’ as they call it, but he was talented no doubt and seems to have changed his tack with great success. This just goes to show you that thinking outside the box a positive mind and some sensible stratergy works a treat (and of course he had the foresight to have Thompson Gale create some images!)

He has found a position in the market and has grabbed it with both hands. I personally find his laid back minimalist approach very understated and because of this he is ‘Cool’. I am sure this is why he has become so appealing and in turn has opened himself up to a wider audience than that of some of the other ‘In yer Face’ artists.

But I suppose its horses for courses. I think he has a good future ahead. Anyway have a look at him in our video below.
