Morning all, its cold cold cold here, so I have been looking back at a warmer summer of garden photography…I have begun a new project this year, shooting for a book about cottage gardens which will be published by Pimpernel Press in a couple of years time. I’m photographing some amazing and inspirational cottage gardens (large, small and in between!) and doing some ‘how-to’ images as well. Much of the work will take place in my own garden, so the muddy quagmire that is my new ‘patch’ will need to shape up rapidly!

Its not all about the great outdoors though, and as usual, there have been hotels to shoot, and some interiors to drool over! I shot Bowood House Hotel last week, where the head chef served up some goodies that just looked amazing (tasted great too)… Bowood has its own amazing garden, famous during the spring when Rhododendrons and Bluebells steal the scene.

Studio Goldy are a young design practice in London, and this work was in West London… clean, fresh and contemporary… watch out for great things from them…

I do hope you enjoy reading this, many thanks for your support this difficult year for all of us, and please do get in touch if you’d like to discuss photography in the coming months. I can send you sample images and am always happy to discuss rates and terms… until then, have a good week and thanks again. Mark
