Latest Musician Shoot // Ramzy Ross

Ramzy Ross, a talented singer / songwriter from Glasgow, got in touch with us a few weeks ago, with a view to giving him a few idea's about his look and helping him with his press pack. We liked his music, we liked him so we swung into action last weekend. Over plentiful supplies of Lebanese food, we got through a whole load of work with Ramzy and his girlfriend, Jenny. We ended up with a plan, some great photo's, a logo, a look, the makings of a press pack, a demo video and a website holding page - all in just a few days. Ramzy is buzzing! He's heading to the recording studio next week and between now and February we're going to be creating something very special for him.

As the blurb on the website says, we don't just take your photograph - call us now if you're a band or musician looking to step up a gear or two.

Band Photography :: Latest Shoot with TWA

It's been a very busy and productive weekend....First up we had another shoot with The Warehouse Announcement in their home town of Berwick. The idea was to get everyone on the beach in deck-chairs, having a beer with endless sands stretching in to the distance. When we got to the location we found gale force winds and waves the size of double-deck buses, so we had to change the remit a little! Not before I and willing volunteers for the day, Jenny and Ramzy got soaked though :)

The Warehouse Announcement turned up with beer cans that had their name and logo on, stripped down to T-Shirts then happily sat around on the beach, much to the amusement of passers-by. It was a great shoot though, really enjoyable and yes, some great photo's came out of it. Thanks to Jenny and Ramzy for all their help....And more about Ramzy in the next post! Here's a taste ::

Metal Prints :: The Ultimate way to display your photographs

Metal prints are the ultimate and newest way to display your photographs. We've all seen enlargements, we've all seen canvas's - but metal prints are quite simply something else. Not only are they durable and stylish, but they have an amazing way of almost creating their own light. Placed offset to a window, they seem to glow as you move around the room - sometimes they even appear to be in 3D. They come either framed or unframed in a wide choice of sizes from A4 through to enormous! We recommend the 'floating' frames as they give a real quality finish to the print and transform a photograph in to a piece of art. I know, you've heard all this before! So call us now and arrange a viewing of our samples - you will be impressed, guaranteed!

The Warehouse Announcement :: Two New Music Video's

As promised, here are a couple of video's of The Warehouse Announcement playing live at the Chainbridge Honey Farm. Bee products and great rock music go hand in hand!

All movie capture, editing, motion graphics and photography by 80eight - in full HD. If you're in a band and want a gig filming - call us now.

Fabulous Fashion Photography with Ellen

Aspiring model Ellen came to visit us last week with the aim of updating her portfolio and getting some images for her comp card. We spent two days taking her to derelict industrial sites, hay fields and various other locations and got some simply stunning shots. Ellen is a great chameleon in the sense she looks completely different depending on what she's wearing and how she has her hair. Ellen was accompanied by her good friend Jess who is an aspiring photographer and fashion student - and you see her take on the shoot here :: http://jesslouphotography.carbonmade.com/projects/2795868#1

The images below are perfect examples of the 80eight style, so if you are a model looking for a freshened up portfolio of only the highest quality, or simply want a great portrait, please give us a call and let us show you what we can do for you.

If anyone thinks Ellen is good for a model assignment, please contact us and we'll pass on her details.
