Gerry Rafferty Remembered at Celtic Connections 2012 | Music Photography

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

This was a classic night at Celtic Connections 2012 with an amazing line up of artists.  Jack Bruce of Cream, Ron Sexsmith, The Proclaimers, James Vincent McMorrow and others came together for this night to remember Gerry Rafferty.  It’s easy to forget how many other great songs Gerry Rafferty wrote when two were so famous.  The unexpected highlight of the night was the voice of James Vincent McMorrow – worth a listen if you haven’t come across him before.

The love between a baby, a mummy and a daddy

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

The traditional idea of the baby portrait seems so tired to me. Put them on the furry rug. Snap. Sit them on your knee and force them to stare blindly towards the camera. Yawn. How boring and how uninspired. I like to think of the experience of portrait photography as a rewarding experience for parents and their baby. I believe it is so much more powerful and enduring to capture the relationship within the family. I love the interaction between a baby and mummy and daddy. Parents know all the little tricks to get their children to respond. And the emotion produced is far more real than if the stressed photographer is forcing a squeaky toy in front of them. I like my portrait sessions to be mellow and calm rather than frantic and loud. Above all I aim for images which will always have meaning no matter how much time passes.

Here are some of our favourites of the gorgeous Thomas.  To book your own portrait session, please contact us on 01864 502161 or by clicking here
