Calendar Interview is Postponed - Rescheduled for after USA shoot.

If you have already plumped the cushions, dimmed the lights and made a brew then please take note...

Due to the announcements of the axed programming, job losses and closing down of the Leeds TV Centre, tonight's interview on Calendar has been postponed - but I have been told that they will reschedule me as soon as I return from the USA :)

Right I'm off to finish packing. Don't all the girls skate around Venice Beach with only a bikini on? Right I've packed the skates... and my bikini.. (I'm sure it will feel *exactly* the same even if it is worn under jeans and a nice warm jumper..)

Stick this in your Calendar...(and be sure to tune into ITV tomorrow night at six)

My Blog is a bit like a bus... there is nothing for ages and then two come along at once! Well it's been an exciting week all in all. LA is finally booked and I am almost packed and ready. Now there is only one thing left to cram into my busy schedule and that's a live interview on Calendar news tomorrow night! Wish me luck and be sure to tune in at six o'clock ..

What do Baywatch and CSI have in common...?

...They are both filmed in LA and that is where I will be going on Thursday! Yes folks I have been commissioned to work on a film set in Downtown LA where I will be taking the film stills for a film short (which is set to become a major blockbuster film trilogy!)

I don't know much yet as it's all top secret but what I do know is that the director and producer are already responsible for some FANTASTIC films and that there are some well known household names taking the lead roles!

And the best of it? When my work is done - I'll be taking a few days off to visit venice beach et all. Hmm now were is that red swimsuit...?

I'm not missing yet you might have spotted me on the side of a milk carton recently...!!

If you had spotted me then well observed for I am indeed the latest person to adourn the sides of St Helen's farm's Goat Milk products. I use Goats milk rather than Cow's as it really helps my breathing. I used to cough all the time and never knew why untill I changed to Goats.. for the full story check out the milk cartons in Sainsbry and Tesco!

OLYMPUS - The new Nikon?

After reviewing the new E3 for Digital Photo Pro magazine - Olympus called me up to ask if I would be interested in a sponsorship deal. For those who are unsure, this basically means that Olympus throw me a load of free kit and I er..just use it!

The weeks that followed started to feel freakily like Christmas the only difference being that the fat man delivering my parcels was not dressed in red and did not have a white bushy beard or unconvincing laugh.

I've used the E3 quite a lot already and I genuinely love it. OK, I'd like a few extra pixels and I'd like it to deal with noise at high ISO numbers a snippet better than it does but I tell you, apart from these two minor observations, I can genuinely say this is one of the most intuative cameras on the market. And don't even ask me about the live view screen! This has and will transform my photography. I can now see what I am actually doing on self portrait shoots and I no longer have to look like a child whose been munching on mud when I take low angle outdoor shots.

I now have an E3, E420 and the very cool MJU 1030SW. For my test reports on the E3 please see here and here and for an article on the Photogirl kitbag, go here.

SHOOTING STARS - Latest exhibition is at The Living Room in York!

My latest exhibition runs from the 28th August to the 5th October and is at The Living Room in Ye Olde York.

There will be a carefully selected collection of famous faces, plus some new unseen work from 'Her Dark Materials' collection will be making their debut. I'm shooting one of these on Wednesday in fact, so it really will be hot off the press!

The preview night will be held on Wednesday 27th August 5.30-7.30PM. As there are only limited places for this event I advise you book early. Please email preview@sarahphotogirl.co.uk if you would like to attend. Be warned - you will probably not get in on the night if you have not RSVP'd!

Signed and limited edition prints will be available to buy/order from The Living Room or direct from my website. Hope to see you there!

It's nice to be in Nice

I recently had my first commision in Nice! An old friend of mine from York moved there about 8 years ago and this is the first time I have seen him since. He is now entertainments manager at a bar called Waynes and he hired me to photograph the Festival de Musique; a one day event that takes place all over France. Obvoiusly I was only photographing the bands at Wayne's, not every band all over France (I'm not Superwoman)

My few days in Nice where some of the finest days I have ever spent - hence this blog. The photograph above is of Justin, my wonderful friend and host. I am going to post a few more images on Flickr soon so watch this space..
