Photographing Weddings at Ghyll Manor

Photographing Weddings at Ghyll Manor with Claire and Dean to show their big day wedding highlights. Slideshow created as a gift to the couple after their big day as a thank you for choosing Barney Warner Photography to be the offical wedding photographers. The wedding was entirely at Ghyll Manor in Rusper, West Sussex.   Barney’s known Dean since a child, his brother was good mates with Dean back at school, so he was really happy to see the family. Claire was also at school with Barney, so straight away everyone was put at ease. Laughter and fun was in such abundance throughout the day and the atmosphere was so easy going. So Photographing Weddings at Ghyll Manor, especially with Claire and Dean was a real pleasure. Claire got ready in the Ghyll Cottage, ajoined to the Manor. There’s lot’s of space and comfortable furnishings. It’s really old so the ceilings are quite low with beautiful wooden beams running through them. Dean was not aware, that Claire had a little suprise for him in store. He’s a mechanic, and a fond lover of cars. So what arrived to take him through the winding countryside to the wedidng venue, was a […]

Food photography in Sussex

Food photography in Sussex, Food photography in Sussex, not the most descriptive of headers, I know. But it does what it says on the tin. One of the commisions last month took me to the wonderful golf club of Ashdown Forest. Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club… With the grand name of ‘Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club’, the course had a lot to live up to. However, as I play in a society, I visit a lot of golf courses. This has got to be one of the best, (if not the best), in the South East.I was that impressed. With 2 courses, The West Course and The Old Course, a fab pro shop, and an extremely well stocked bar and restaurant it’s top of my list!  I personally perfer the West Course. The Old Course has a better reputation but that’s my opinion. Perhaps I simply had a better game?   Anyway, back to the photography… (love golf sorry) This commision, allowed me to venture up to the restaurant. The club house manager requested food photography update. To push on social media and their website. It’s a great ideal to keep on top of food photography. Something like food changes […]

Website headshot photography

People like to deal with people, that’s a given. This brings a lot of importance to website headshot photography, the fact is that we like to see the very best in people. Nobody likes a bad headshot do they?! I personally hate having my photograph taken, perhaps thats why I try to ensure every person I ever photograph feel as relaxed as possible. Maybe that’s also why I feel so uncomfortabe in front of the camera… that the photographer doesn’t have the ability to relax me?! This is why I always get the best out of people when they are photographed, the key is to get the sitters guard down, to relax them, to exude the very essence of their characteristics. Sometimes my clients like to have a make up artisit present. I can understand, but with the magic of photoshop sometimes it’s just as easy to completely airbrush somebody. With all my headshots, I supply free airbrushing, so there’s no need to feel uncomfortable, you can sit knowing all those shaving cuts will have dissapeared before you see the final result. Websites have team photography as well as indiviual head shots. It’s great having an overal team shot on […]

Photography in Brighton covered for Hixon Green

Photography in Brighton covered for Hixon Green by Barney Warner Photography. Prior to the grand opening back in October. The commision was to capture imagery for not only their new website, but also for social media content too. With Social media being a massive part of all industries nowadays, people are becoming more and more submersed into the wide world of social media. The need for great photography is becoming more common for social content and we seem to be getting more and more companies requesting this type of photography. Typically, social media is one of the fundimental aspects a new company look to employ. With smart technology and access to all the social sites, it’s an obvious reason to get the very best imagery to support your business. Even if it’s a long standing company, they too are approaching us for more and more imagery. Being well rehearsed with food photography, interior photography, photographing people and also photographing exteriors, we felt extremely comfortable at Hixon Green, especially as it really lent itself well to being photographed. The trick though is making the imagery look as natural as possible yet creating a look that is clean and crisp with a […]

Headshots Sussex … on a Dairy Farm

Headshots Sussex … on a Dairy Farm. Doesn’t sound right does it. However, professional headshots are very in vouge at present, rightly so! However I’ve never been asked to attend a farm yard to capture a dairy farmer headshot before. Today was a first. I LOVE MILK. Upon arrival I experienced mud to new heights. My wellies fell over and the slurry slurpped up my body into my face. I hadn’t even looked the car! Not a great look I can assure you. After mopping myself down, I wandered through the farmyard to find my portrait sitter. She was voted to be Britains sexiest farmer 2013 I’ll have you know. Kate was to appear in a newsletter called ‘Milkmatters’, on behalf of the dairy company Arla. They were featuring the farm and their cattle.  She needed some headshots taken on her dairy farm. I LOVE MILKSHAKES. Our first stop was into a muddy field with heards of young Heifer were held. See I know all the technical lingo now guys. A Heifer is a female cow that has yet to have any offspring. They were instantly drawn to my flash equipment and the camera. Cow’s love to lick things and […]
