HRH Prince Charles visits Poundbury to celebrate 20th Anniversary

Having photographed for the Duchy of Cornwall previously, we were asked to document HRH Prince Charles on the 20th anniversary of Poundbury town on the outskirts of Dorchester. The town is being built according to the pioneering designs and ideals of HRH Prince Charles, creating a living space focused on pedestrians and cyclists and not cars. The development started in 1993, and throughout the build, Prince Charles has been very closely involved in most aspects of the development, hence the importance of the day.

He visited in November to see the latest developments, as well as attend a reception holding an exhibition celebrating the 20 years of the build and those involved. Below are a few of the moments of the event.

London Fashion Week

Canon cameras invited us to London Fashion Week to photograph a show by designer Julien MacDonald, with a view to producing a set of photos in our style (although we also took a few catwalk fashion shots for fun). You may remember we shot LFW last year, also with CPS (Canon Professional Services); you can view that by looking at our previous London Fashion Week article.

After the show we were shown in to a room where Canon had set up a 360 photography rig at the show called Canon Fashion 360˚ Studio. Utilising many Canon cameras rigged up in a circle to photograph at the same moment, causing anyone in the middle of the rig to have their very own personal freeze frame Matrix moment. Of course myself and Laura had to jump in and you can check it out at the bottom of the post.

HRH Prince Charles Celebrates the 20th anniversary of Poundbury

The Duchy of Cornwall commissioned Limeleaf to document HRH Prince Charles, viewing the exhibition at Poundbury for its 20th anniversary. Poundbury town is an experimental town on the outskirts of Dorchester in the county of Dorset, England.

The development is built on land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall and is Prince Charles pet project. He is known for holding strong views challenging the post-war trends in town planning that were suburban in character.

Poundbury is a beautiful town with gorgeous architecture and a nice open airy feel. With parks, bakeries and local shops close to almost all houses car use is minimised to create a greater feeling of community.

Below are a few of the photos we captured for the Duchy of Cornwall.

River Cottage Easter Fair with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

We were asked to document the River Cottage HQ Easter Fair so River Cottage would have stock images to use for promotion and marketing of this and other future events on their website.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall also made an appearance, meeting visitors and signing cookbooks.

First Weekend in the Slaughterhouse Bakery

As previously posted, ‘Our Bakeries’ recently moved not far from their old location and we covered the photography of the new bakery being built and moving in equipment.

We were asked to return to photograph on the first weekend they were open, we decided on the Sunday as the local market was on and wanted to get a few photos with this in place. Without even advertising, not even a single sign outside, the bakery was nearing full capacity. With two of us moving around, documenting the ambiance and hustle of a fresh October day we were able to seize the moment and bring it across in our photography.

Boston Tea Party

Boston Tea Party asked for us to make our way down south to photograph a new location of one of their cafes, and also – on a separate day – a few new menu items ready for Xmas. For the Christmas items, we shot on location in their staff-room which had a table with a similar style to what’s in their cafes. As all around was office furniture and members of staff, choice of angles was limited. I enjoy having to find a solution to a ‘problem’, it often brings new angles, focal lengths, heights (I was up top a full sized ladder for some of these!) and ideas, which is a great way of producing photography that holds people’s attention.

Food Photography with Boston Tea Party

Last month we were back with Boston Tea Party in Plymouth to photograph their new menu. Working in their large, newly opened and beautiful Plymouth cafe, we selected a corner to work from that wouldn’t interfere with their customers and got to work, with their chef bringing new dishes up for us to photograph in situ. Making the most of our corner, we used the blue seating and warm brown table to add to each photograph. Leaving large areas for the marketing team to add text too.

Previous photography by us is now being used throughout the cafes countrywide, the results are great and we’re looking forward to working with them again soon.
