Ceramics Photo Shoot

A selection of pieces were treated to a special trip away last week where they were professionally photographed by Matt Debouge. Photography is Matt’s passion – since getting his first digital camera he hasn’t stopped taking photos. His work is well known for animal, nature, abstract, artistic and travel photography. Having photographed my work on previous occasions, Matt was used to shooting still life objects but this time he faced the challenge of photographing pieces of my work in a group as well as individually, and did a fantastic job.

I love seeing my work photographed properly, it really brings out the detail.

My favourite images are the close up details of surface decoration… The textures have been brought to life!

If you are interested in having your work photographed, or need a professional photographer for any occasion or theme, Matt would be happy to help – just contact him with your requirements. He also offers IT support and web development.

I have had some more professional looking photographs taken of a selection of my work by Matt Debouge Photography. Matt previously photographed some of my pieces a few months ago (see the images here), and I was extremely happy with the results. I am even more thrilled with the results this time, I love the ‘soft’ feel each image has to it.

Please check out Matt’s photography website and follow him on twitter to show your support, and even let him know what you think of these photos! He also has a photo stream on Flickr where you will be able to view much more of his work, including some images of his 2 adorable Main Coon cats. One of Matt’s cat photos was recently published in Catcare magazine.

As always please feel free to leave a comment, I would love to hear your thoughts.

I’ve been lucky enough to have some professional photographs of my work taken by photographer Matt Debouge.

Matt has a passion for capturing images and enjoys photographing a range of subjects including nature, animals, people, still life and landscape scenes. I particularly love his collection of images of his two Maine Coon cats Marmalade and Myrtle, which brings me to one of Matt’s quotes which is very inspiring;

“When I look through the lens of my camera I aim to capture the moment from a unique angle that expresses my appreciation of the subject. Perhaps this is why my preferred style of photography is is close up and personal!”

Matt admitted that he found photographing my ceramics quite a challenge as it wasn’t a subject he was used to, but I think he has done a brilliant job and I’m really pleased with the results. What do you think?

I wasn’t sure about having a black background, as I’ve always used white, but when I saw these photos I was pleasantly surprised, I think a black background works really well, especially against some of the lighter coloured pieces – they appear so much more striking.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Matt for doing such a great job, I can finally say I have some professional photos of my work rather than my not-so-good attempts! Be sure to check out Matt’s website and even contact him if you are interested in having any of your work professionally photographed.
