Dog Photoshoot

December 16, 2018 by Jude Gidney Leave a Comment

Welcome to this gallery of Dog Photographs. Last week I worked with a number of dog owners and their dogs to produce a range of character and breed characteristic portraits. 

You will be able to see a number of the final images printed and framed in an exhibition at the Saddleworth Museum and Art Gallery in January. 

Thank you to the dog owners, it was great to meet you. Please let me know which image you would like the digital file of.

Tutu Photoshoots

Jude Photography Tutu

Little girls in beautiful tutu dresses, dancing with teddies and galloping on rocking horses always bring a smile to their faces, and an opportunity for lovely memories to be captured. 

These dresses are loaned to me by Dawn Houston, a creative dress-maker who stitches wonderful powder puffs of girliness for the little ones, and big ones, to wear. She sells them from The Small Business Emporium in Denton. 

Here’s a few from a recent tutu photo session:

Pregnancy Casts, Newborn Photography

September 5, 2016 by Jude Gidney Leave a Comment

Pregnancy Cast

Pregnancy Casts and Newborn Baby Photography go well together. A lot of mums like to keep a record of their pregnancy but often feel awkward about baring all for photographs. My studio is warm and cosy, with sets that make taking photographs calm and easy. It’s wonderful to welcome a mum-to-be into the studio, encourage them to spend time thinking solely about what’s going on inside them, and help them to look beautiful on the outside. The change in them is amazing, as having that attention can be liberating.

Pregnancy Casts, Newborn

Pregnancy Casts, Maternity Photographs

Seeing my big-bellied self through Jude’s lens made me feel like one of those beautiful pregnant women! Jude made both my partner and I feel very relaxed and comfortable throughout the maternity photography session. She has captured a precious time in our lives which we can look back on and cherish forever. Looking forward to another session with our newborn baby very soon!

 

But it’s understandable that not every mum would like to remember it in this way. OR they may like to have both. The Pregnancy Cast is a cast taken of your bump, using soft textiles and hardening agent, and once hard, is beautifully decorated by art student Nat to your own design or one suggested by her.

And then when your precious baby arrives, your cast is a beautiful vessel to hold him or her in, with the use of soft blankets and padding, and with the expertise of a BANPAS recognised, BIPP registered photographer, your newborn baby photographs are in very safe hands.

Book a package now, even if you’ve only just found out the delightful news, as both are getting very booked up. Don’t be disappointed …. click here

My Orange Dog – and learning to do the right thing

August 15, 2016 by Jude Gidney Leave a Comment

Portrait Photography

I’ve recently been inspired to do an at home shoot with my little King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. Meet Harvey, he’s an orange dog! The official name for him is ruby and his official title is Herald of Spring of Heronbank – but that’s a little difficult to shout out when recalling him on the footpath. I’m just priming him for a shoot later in the week in the studio, but wanted to teach him a few moves beforehand to make things easier.

I actually managed to get him to learn to sit with his back to the camera, result!! He’ll do anything for a little piece of cheese. The training was taught to me by Lucy, the animal behaviourist. She spent time teaching me, and Harvey some simple commands, using click training, which I am now extending for the shoot. He’s so willing to please me, it’s easy once he gets the hang of what to do – but getting him to understand the command in the first place takes patience.

Contact me here to discuss a booking.

The Suitcase Project at the Woodend Studios Art Fair

July 28, 2016 by Jude Gidney Leave a Comment

Photographic Project Woodend Studios

The Suitcase Project is an initiative put together by Jude Gidney and inspired by the band The Suitcase Dwellers that were guests at her studio over the weekend of the April Woodend Studios Open Art Fair.

It involved photographing the majority of visitors to the studio, each being given the opportunity to interact with a vintage suitcase that is a prop in the studio. the interactions became more and more innovative as the weekend went on, each visitor trying to outdo the previous. At the end of the weekend we had a visit from one of the visiting artists that also works as a designer for a suitcase company. You will find her words about the history of the case below.

If you’d like to hear more about events happening at the studio please send me a quick email or text with the title Event Details Please

Why not enjoy a day out in Uppermill?

June 19, 2016 by Jude Gidney Leave a Comment

A day out in Uppermill

A day out in Uppermill in the summer months is a lovely thing to do with the family – with the park and playing area, stepping stones across the river, tea shops and cafes, a beautiful canal to walk along, and a canal boat trip; there’s so much to do. There’s also a fantastic children’s play area in the park. The Saddleworth museum is at present undergoing much needed alterations but will be up and open again very soon.

Why not include in your day out in Uppermill that long put off family photoshoot of your children at the studio just down the road in Mossley? The studio is also housed on the canal, so both outside and indoor images can be taken.  The children, and yourselves, will have a healthy glow, so it’s an ideal time! Prints will make great gifts and you’ll be well ahead for those celebrations later in the year. The studio would make for an ideal afternoon stop, put up your feet and let the photographer take over. Then back to Uppermill for an evening meal and an al fresco drink in one of Uppermill’s many bars and traditional pubs.

Book your session here or ring 07759 599134

Model Portfolio Shoots – @Mr_Saddleworth

February 19, 2016 by Jude Gidney Leave a Comment

I’ve recently had the pleasure of welcoming @Mr_Saddleworth aka Jason Roberts to my studio for an updated Model Portfolio Shoot.

The brief for the shoot was for ‘corporate looking’ images, although I aimed to give the images a juxtaposition between old and new – using the surrounds of the Mill as an usual setting for a business profile. I also attempted to capture personality of Jason in a range of simple headshot images as shots he had showed to me previously were mainly from modelling shoots with Next, Vodaphone and fashion magazines so more directed images. I  enlisted the help of Helen Keegan Walker, hairdresser and make-up artist, who expertly prepared Jason for the shoot.

Having only been back in the Mill for a few months, it was a good opportunity to make use of locations in the studio and around the Mill, although we were hampered by inclement weather, so the plans for a couple of outdoor locations were scuppered. So the shoot involved both natural light and studio lighting, easily switched between the two with an ideal set up in the Studio.

A lot of photography studios are solely studio-head lit and have no access to window light, which is where I am the lucky one and have learnt through years of experience. So the location is fantastic for creative photography, and great model and actor portfolio updates.

To find out more or book a session for yourself please contact me.

A remarkable rescue story – Pet Photography

January 25, 2016 by Jude Gidney Leave a Comment

I recently welcomed two little remarkable dogs to the studio for a pet photography session. Both thought to be Maltese dogs, Milton and Fizz have both endured a very difficult start to life. They were both rescued from being eaten. Both were born in South Korea where dogs are bred for the dinner table.

Fizz was found wandering around in a little shop, and when a loving lady asked to buy her, the shop owner had to be restrained from slitting her throat, ready for the pot.

Milton was rescued by the same generous lady, from a nearby rescue home in Asan, in South Korea where he was on death row as no one was interested in adopting him. Milton was born completely blind as a result of inbreeding, but has a remarkable way of adapting to his surroundings, and I feel this ability has helped him in his rescue.

When their owner changed jobs and needed to move to accommodation where pets weren’t welcome, she managed to get a charity that flies pets around the world to help out and to send them to her mother, Dawn who lives just outside Oldham.

Dawn has been looking after them in her home for a year now and there’s obviously a very strong bond between them.

In the studio they were both very happy to investigate, and it was amazing to watch Milton navigate, very slowly at first, the furniture and lighting, but within about 20 mins he was running around bump-free as was Fizz. Getting them to sit and pose was another issue altogether! Thanks to Dawn for her patience.

Milton is celebrating his 2nd Birthday in February and Fizz her 6th in April.

I also wish to congratulate Dawn and Mark on their engagement. I’m wondering if the dogs may play apart in their upcoming Wedding ceremony in June.

Book your pet photography session now.
