LIA :: At the Old Mill Recording Studios



It was great to see some of the recording process with Lost in Audio at the weekend and we just about made it back ahead of the snow. This is probably the last shoot we'll do this year and it was a great way to sign off.

2010 is shaping up to be very busy, interesting and fun with lots in the pipeline - so keep an eye on the blog for the latest news.

This maybe the last blog entry before Christmas...So...HAPPY CHRISTMAS to all friends, customers and anyone else we've met over the last few months!

Best wishes,

Philip & Colleen.

The next few days :: Bands

We've got a packed weekend this weekend. First off we're meeting up with Lost in Audio at the Old Mill Recording Studio, as they start recording their latest release. We'll be taking lots of photo's, talking about how best to promote the band and oh, taking a big chocolate cake for Ewan...It's his birthday. And cake is Rock 'n' Roll....

Then 'Idiotcut' are coming to visit us for a brainstorm. Idiotcut were playing with LIA at the Mill in Edinburgh a few weeks back and we were really impressed with them.

I've probably said this before, but the talent and energy coming out of Scotland and particularly in and around Edinburgh is just amazing. It's a real pleasure to meet up with bands such as LIA and Idiotcut. Both are going to make it. Photo's later!

Latest Shoot :: Kerri





We had a great shoot with Kerri yesterday...The original plan was for a fabulous frock, a castle and a forest. Then it started to snow and the temperature was just above zero, so we switched to Plan B and went off to the studio which was warm and lovely.

What can I say? The camera loves Kelli and she looks just fantastic here.

Once global warming has taken a hold we'll actually do the shoot we had planned.

And No Photoshop!




Just us, a camera, a battery, some lights and patience....

Love the Dress



Here at 80eight we love location work and one of the many services we offer is a glamorous portrait shoot where you can get to wear your most fabulous dress in a wonderful location and be treated like a star. Our advert on Radio Borders explains all this, but here's a couple of example photographs that really show what we can do. These were taken today on the Berwickshire Coast.

Please call for more details.

Latest Shoot :: Ann Drury






Here's a few shots from our latest shoot - this time with Ann Drury who is a fabulous singer-songwriter from Yorkshire. Ann played at our opening party in October, so we returned the favour with a few photographs for her profile. Many thanks to Steph and Ann for traveling up to Scotland to see us, and also to Ewan for helping out....And for setting off the smoke alarms.

If you are in a band, or if you are a solo artist or an actor....Give 80eight a call and we can help to promote you with our photography, design and creativity.
