It is that point of 12 months once more after I have a look again at one other 12 months of Pennie Withers Industrial images.
2021 appears to have passed by in a flash (pardon the pun!) and but, after I assume again to Lockdown v3.0 final January, weirdly it additionally looks as if a lifetime in the past.
That is my twelfth 12 months in enterprise and but once more, I’m blown away by the number of work that I’ve been fortunate sufficient to expertise. I am certain you realize by now that Industrial images is my ‘factor’ and but, who knew that in a single 12 months, my work would come with me taking pictures on the rooftops of Westminster College and on one other day, taking images of chickens, horses, pigs and goats (not all on the similar time!). Over the course of the 12 months, I additionally bought to exit in numerous boats of various sizes to take images of rowers, paddleboarders and an enormous luxurious cruiser. I’ve additionally photographed kitchens, workplaces, homes and constructing websites. No two days are the identical! However then as they are saying, selection is the spice of life – and I definitely get numerous that.
So clearly in January, with many companies nonetheless working from house, my digicam equipment was stashed away. It felt like a tough begin to the 12 months, having additionally had many shoots cancelled on the finish of 2020 resulting from Lockdown 2.0. Nonetheless, because of fantastically loyal purchasers and in addition a large number of new purchasers, enterprise got here again with a vengeance and I carried out somewhat over 100 shoots and over 65% of them had been for purchasers I had not beforehand labored with earlier than.
Listed here are only a few examples of the varieties of companies I’ve labored with:
Solicitors | Architects | PR Company | The Womens’ Institute | Residential care houses | web optimization Company | Colleges | Podiatrist | World writer | software program specialist | Design Company | Yoga teacher | Schools | Therapeutic massage Therapists | Residential Builders | Inside Designer | Boat Constitution firm.
Fortunately for me, plainly there was pent up demand from numerous companies who had needed to put their advertising and marketing on maintain, so as soon as we had been out of Lockdown, I used to be capable of mud off my lenses and crack on with taking plenty of images. One of many highlights of the 12 months needs to be making mates with somewhat boy known as Rocco who shadowed me for practically the entire of my photoshoot at Little Fishes Preschool in Maidenhead 😊
On a private stage, my eldest son graduated from his Masters in Aerospace engineering, my center son began a job working for a business property firm in London and my daughter began her second 12 months Veterinary course at Bristol Uni. And at last in September……my husband began working again on the workplace in London. So, I used to be again to enhancing images in my workplace with my trusty 4 footed furry buddy, Woody!
So, all that continues to be is for me to dedicate this evaluation to my Father and Father-in-Legislation, each of which we misplaced in 2021. My Father was a really eager photographer who photographed my brother, sister and I to inside an inch of our lives. And my Father-in-Legislation was as soon as recognized to say to me ‘ Effectively, for those who take sufficient images, you are certain to get a very good one
‘. Hopefully, I’ve succeeded in doing that a couple of occasions this 12 months 😆!
Wishing you all a really pleased and wholesome Christmas and 2022.
