What does a local photographer make of Folkestone in Kent?

Sculptures by Antony Gormley, a giant seagull and some cool portholes in the local multi-storey car park, that's what!

Last year I rebuilt my website. Here is a re-post of a blog about one of Kent's under-rated towns. Have a read if you fancy some thoughts about its history, wildlife and multi-storey car park!

Do you like bubbles? Do you like the idea of winning some FREE bubbles?!

To celebrate the launch of my new website (it's been a long time coming, I NEED to celebrate)! I'm running a free competition to win a bottle of quality English sparkling wine (made here in Kent) to rival any Champagne.

This is a bottle of Gusbourne's Brut Reserve, which you can find at Fortnum and Mason for over £40/ bottle. Or you could have a go at winning it for nowt!

What's the catch? Nothing really. You will have to spend a few minutes looking around the website for Malcolm the Photographer, but you might even find this interesting. And it won't be too hard to complete the quiz as all the answers are right there, in plain sight.

You have to be over 18 to take part, and living in the UK. Oh, and my family members aren't eligible, so I guess they won't be talking to me over Xmas.

Fancy a go? You've got until Jan 15!

This is for all the business owners who don't feel ready to talk to a professional photographer, just yet.

You know that you're the face of your business, like it or not.

Your potential clients need to see you if they are going to know, like and trust you.

You need photos for your website and for your social media.

You know that the images you grabbed when you wanted something in a hurry, aren't really as good as they should be.

You'd love to get something better, if you only knew how.

I can help. I've taken my experience of photographing a wide range of different professionals and condensed it down to this free book.

It will ask you the questions that I use myself.

It will show you examples and give you some simple exercises to help you think about the images you need and how to get them.

You can use it to become more confident about talking to a professional photographer, or you can use it to help in getting the shots yourself. Your choice.

Nothing makes me happier than the words 'I love this picture of me'!

I simply love this photo of me in action at the Hypo Hounds award ceremony from last weekend. It was taken by the incredibly talented event photographer Malcolm the Photographer .
Malcolm has captured the fun, joy and sheer life and energy of the event and my performance in this frame.
And he has used his magic to manage to make me look vaguely human!
Malcolm is brilliant and a great guy too! Check him out!

You never quite know what to expect when TaDah Theatre Co hits the stage and their contribution to last week's Biddenden Flair was no exception. We got a bit of Shakespeare, but not the stodgy fare that you might remember from your schooldays. This was colourful and lively, delivered by a cast of characters all clearly having a lot of fun and more than happy to play it for laughs.

Music and dance from Biddenden Flair over the weekend.

Art, Music, Literature and Drama, all on show in our little village of Biddenden. The organisers, speakers and performers of Biddenden Flair should be proud of what they achieved over this last weekend.

I was certainly pleased that I went along. There was a great mix of local talent and enthusiasm, together with people who have earned a much bigger stage - or who will, soon!

It was a joy to be able to capture some of the proceedings in photography, so here is a quick sample. More to follow!
