Book Shoot #3 - Jane Bevan & Geoff Holt

During the latest book shoot with Jane Bevan we took a trip to local craftsman Geoff Holt in Ticknall. Geoff is one of those interesting characters that you come across every once in a while. Tucked away in his workshop that is complete with decades of  sawdust and cobwebs, Geoff sticks to his craft and away from modern technology, creating beautiful furniture and crafts.







The shots are for the forthcoming publication "Craft From Natural Materials". We have been following Jane and the process of her work over the past few months, capturing how her unique pieces are made. The book is due to be released next year by Bloomsbury Publishing plc and we are looking forward to seeing the results.


Jane Bevan is an artist using natural and found materials, particularly bark, thorns and twigs, which she gathers on daily walks in local woodlands. Jane carefully selects her materials and then uses traditional techniques of tying, stitching, twining, coiling and binding to make small sculptures and vessels.


She works from her studio at Banks Mill in Derby and takes inspiration and materials from the local countryside in South Derbyshire.

Artwork Shoot - Jane Bevan

Another chance to photograph some of Jane Bevans unique crafts and works of art. Aside from this we have been photographing Jane at work for publication in the book "Crafts from Natural Materials".



Harvest Time

Late September, and harvest is all but done... came across these brilliant hay stacks while out on the road.

Aly & Mark

In one of the wettest summers that we have seen in a long time we were grateful to share a wonderful day with Aly & Mark at Kilburn Hall in Derbyshire. And as they say; "all good things come to those who wait..." Well, we waited and waited and eventually we were blessed with a moments sunshine allowing the wedding party to enjoy the beautiful gardens.
