ast week looked as if this December was following the usual trend. This week put a stop to that! Three PR photo shoot's and two book designs completed but no partridge in a pear tree!The first shoot on Tuesday was covering a boxing press conference, promoter Frank Warren with heavyweight's Danny Williams and Sam Sexton who are one of the fights on the February fight card were in attendance. It was all quite civilised, top London hotel setting and a Christmas tree for a back drop! Peace and goodwill to all men!
Wednesday's job was to cover the host city announcement for England's 2018 World
Cup bid. Quite a few surprises with Milton Keynes and Plymouth's inclusion as potential host City's if England's bid is successful. Again in London, this took place at The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre which is also hosting the Iraq enquiry, so I made sure I was in the correct auditorium! A few week ago I was asked if I could cover the World Cup next year in South Africa but I have a couple of weddings booked up during the tournament so this is as close as I'll get to shooting a World Cup!Thursday's job was for F.A.Cup sponsors, E.ON with Portsmouth and England goalkeeper David James. I had to set up a studio at their training ground for some PR portraits. Now, that should be easy enough, but the room I was working in had quite low ceilings and David is quite tall!
Luckily, with the travel chaos in Kent caused by the snow today, I didnt have an assignment that involved travelling, just catching up on computer work. So three day's shooting and I stayed warm and dry and had plenty of coffee........it must be Christmas!!
