It's not the first time I've visited the Circus Starr crew and I always feel in awe of the amazing acts and acrobatics. I photographed the crew for their last tour and showed off some highlights here: http://blog.briscoephotography.co.uk/2013/06/circus-starr-commercial-photography.html
Well, I was humbled to be asked back for their spring tour and here to show some of the highlights. I love working for these guys, not just because it's an amazing show and I get to eat popcorn but because it's a brilliant charity holding workshops for disabled children on top of helping sponsors purchase tickets. They're also developing an awesome app to help children understand their experience at the circus using my images. I can't wait to see how it comes out: http://www.circus-starr.org.uk/
Sometimes I get to do some really cool stuff. Wedding photography lets me meet a variety of interesting people but a few weeks ago, when I was asked to shoot two circus shows for Circus Starr, the interesting people level was cranked to 11.
Circus starr is an amazing charity organization that raises funds for local charities while offering free seats at their world-class show to thousands of disadvantaged children.
The show features a range of different types of acrobatics. I didn't get to see much of it but what I did see was amazing with some death defying stunts which I wouldn't mind learning myself!

More pics under the cut :)
With winter passing and my wedding season within a week of shifting into a higher gear I wanted to post something not involved with my wedding photography.
This shoot took place at the end of last summer but the website, which the images were taken for, isn't finished yet so I can't release them all. However, after the snow, and with the beautiful blue sky and warm sunlight out today I wanted to post some pics that reminded me of summer.
Emma would have been one of my last shoots of last summer. After controversially missing out on running for GB in the 800m at the London 2012 Olympics due to injury, she continues her training with her sights set on Rio. In my brief time with Emma she came across as very bright, friendly and determined with an amazing work ethic. She travels all over the world competing at the highest level heavily funded, like other athletes, by herself. I hope my photographs help her, in their own little way, to prove she's the best.
See! It's not all about wedding photography, there's plenty of other types of photography I enjoy. Today we're in the commercial and editorial photography world.
A few months ago Staffordshire based IT/Electronics company Capula got in touch to get a cover shot for the magazine of their parent company - giant Dutch engineering firm Imtech.
They approached me with a concept of Business Development Director Simon Coombs working on an idea accompanied by portraits of Simon showing off different aspects of the company.
Here's what we came up with, a few that weren't used are in there too along with a couple of behind the scenes and the article the magazine ran with :)
