Good Imagery is Key to getting your press releases published.

How many of you have sent out a well written press release but not had it published?
I'm sure its quite a few of you.

One key thing to attach to press release is good quality images. Editors don't want the hassle or have the time to search for suitable images or source images from you. You need to make it simple for them.
If you send over a well written press release along with suitable images you are more likely to get your story published.

Here are a couple of examples from one of my clients, Lynford Hall Hotel who recently had press releases published because they also sent along great images.

Beginners Guide to Photographing Fireworks

Now its getting that time of year again when you will all be attending firework displays. These events can make for some stunning photos, as long as you follow these tips.

Firstly you are going to need a tripod. The camera is going to need to be kept steady.

How you fire the camera will also make a difference. A remote is best so you don't physically have to touch the camera. Don't worry though if you don't have one of these, Just make sure that you press the shutter button as carefully as possible, or use the 10 second timer feature on the camera.

So you arrive at the display and get the camera on the tripod. Next you are going to have to change some settings.

Put the camera into Manual Mode (M)

Set the aperture to f8 to begin with. If the pictures are too bright narrow the aperture down by raising the f number.

ISO - Keep this low 100/200

Focusing - The camera will struggle to focus in the dark and so you are going to need to manually focus.
To do this, wait for the first firework to go up and manually focus on it. Now as long as you don't move the camera you should be fine for the rest of the display.

Now the shutter speed is going to be a little trial and error to start with, What you need to do is guess how long it takes for the firework to go up, explode and then come down so that you capture the whole thing. I would suggest starting somewhere around 5 seconds and see what you get. Press the shutter button just as the firework is launched.

You should then be on your way to getting some great firework photos.

Photo shoot with Norwich band 5PM, By James Neale,Photographer, Dereham, Norwich, Norfolk.

On Saturday I had the pleasure of working with local band 5PM. They are based in Norwich, Norfolk, but are looking to move to London to help promote their band. to help finance the move the guys are looking to do some modelling work whilst they are there so as well as images to use on the band website, they were also after some images to start off their own modelling porfolios.

We all met at the Forum in Norwich to talk about the kind of thing they wanted, out of the three guys only one had some modelling experience, so i was going to have to help the guys out to make sure they were comfortable in front of the camera. When we left the Forum it was obvious that we were going to be battling with the weather all day, one minute it was sunny, the next raining, and we even had snow at one point! I started off by taking the guys to a quiet location and took some group shots to get the guys more comfortable infront of the camera, the rain then started so we headed of to a multi-storey carpark. this was a really good location and also gave us shelter from the weather.

The guys seemed to be getting used to the camera so we headed of to a busier location. this is where the fun began. One of the guys Jay looked like one of the guys from JLS, when he was having his photos done, a few people started nudging each other and pointing, everyone thought that it was really him, a little gathering of girls soon started to form! it really was great fun! i certainly loved the attention, and i think secretly Jay did to!

We all had great time and got some great images for them to use. The guys are also booked in to do a studio session this week with me and i look forward to meeting them all again, and showing them final images.
