Well it’s been a couple of weeks since I posted my first sets of images ! But I managed to find a few more images of the set in my unsure list!
I think these ones have come out pretty well!
These images show the beauty of being a photographer and being able to capture scenes like this !
Please feel free to share this post! Give me a shout out ! If you like them! I know Toms fans have been so amazing with all they have done with my posts so once again thanks guys and girls ❤️❤️
We have always been pretty lucky here in this, small sea side town! In Essex,
Maldon has been part of a number of films with big names like Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, and BAFTA award winner Jude Law to name a couple!
Well it’s time to add a few more names to the list ! Apply tv is currently filming for a six part Victorian drama, based on the novel by Sarah Perry..
This drama will be staring male lead and avengers actor Tom Hiddleston and female lead Claire Danes who’s stared in homelands and Baz Luhrmanns, Romeo and Juliet
The film / set building crew landed on the quayside of Maldon and set to work transforming it into something extra amazing! It’s like a step back in time! Victorian time ! So many props and they really do set the scene..
It’s taken them under a week to make this quayside into the perfect Victorian set! The team building this set honestly are amazing, they all seem to know who, what and where they need to be moving around the set placing props and build up a visual story with out even having the actors /actresses on set.
It’s amazing ! And it’s right on our doorstep!
So today I was lucky enough to get on set and get some images ! While also getting to see a preview what’s to come! This also documents some of what will become a part of Maldon’s history.. as photographers this should always be a big part of what we do! We need to take images of what’s happening around us, not just our chosen style of photography..
We need to document the world, to show those who follow us in years to come our history! Like many have before us!
I’ve never been on film set before, even though I’ve been lucky enough to meet a few great actors and actresses over the years! And I’ve always had a thing for film/ stage, ever since I was part of the school stage team! Creating lighting and sets for the big school productions !
So this was a buzz for me! It’s not every day we get to do something like this!
So who’s ready to see a few images?
I’m really happy to have got these ! And I’m super proud of them ! I hope that these tell a little bit of the story and as it’s said in Romeo and Juliet.. here we set the scene !
Please let me know what you think! It’s always amazing chatting to people and hope that you like these images !
Can’t wait to see what they do with this set and where the story line fits into the film.
wow it’s been a tough start to January! Business has been a little bit! how can I say? all over the place!

We are so happy to see that our Etsy is up and running and that people seem to like what we are selling!
Today I made that leap using Etsy I’ve been signed up for a while now but never really taken that leap until tonight!
The thing with taking so many images and only really stock piling them on a hard drive it’s not making any money !
What this lockdown has shown me it’s time to take chances and try to see what you can do from being online! There are so many business making products and money online and doing well at it!
There is a big wide world out there and the web world has a opening for everyone! To take a chance and go do something !
So tonight I added my first digital print to my store
More images will be added to the page over the next couple of days .. images of all kinds of things that may just make for that perfect christmas gift !
If you do get a chance and you any to pop over there is now one of the shipwrecked images up for a great price! That’s worth it to anyone ! Once again pop along to the link at the top or even the one below !
Also let me know if you buy something from my Etsy by commenting below ! Between now and Christmas anyone who ordered a product of this link will be entered into a prize draw for a second image completely free!
BTW THE IMAGES ON SALE ARE DIGITAL IMAGES CURRENTLY, BUT MORE PRODUCTS INCLUDING PRINTS WILL BE ADDED SOON!
Let me start by saying I know why we are doing this (to save lives) and to help each other to keep going in the future! We need to look after each other!
Lockdown definitely is taking the life out of business
Everyone in the uk and across the would are finding it very hard to keep going
It’s a fight we live every day but so much more when in a lockdown situation. Government officials say that photographers are a non essential business! But documenting life and the situation we are all in I feel we are essential
There isn’t any reason that we can’t keep going we can shoot from a distance more than that of a school teacher or a shop worker!
We are creating works and we can do that on location out in the streets and out in the middle of nowhere and we can still keep everything safe yet still keep our family provided for! And also still put money into the big government fun pot!
It’s seems that yet again it’s going to be a few works of keeping the website up and working on the jobs that are needed in the background! Things like web design, learning new editing techniques, learning how to create BTS videos with the new products we have just had delivered!
You may not know it but being a photographer it’s not just about doing taking pictures ! There is a long list of things that need doing, to keep business going !
