Sarahphotogirl Exhibition

I am about to stage my biggest exhibition to date. The photographs will appear at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, North Yorkshire from 31st March until the 6th May so be sure to pop in if you are in the area.

Forty of my favourite images will be on display. Most of these will be from my Rock Portraits portfolio but there is some brand new stuff that hasn't even appeared on Flickr yet! I'll be posting these images over the next few weeks and there will be many more coming soon, so keep a look out.

Signed and limited edition prints are available to buy from the theatre or direct from my website.

My photos are appearing in all good book stores near you!

An A-Z of Franz Ferdinand, originally uploaded by sarahphotogirl.

This week I have discovered that I have photos in an A-Z of Franz Ferdinand and also in Paul Weller - The Changing Man! That's not a bad week for little 'ol me :)

I have only worked with Franz Ferdinand once, unlike Paul who I have worked with many, many times. He's a nice man to spend time with and, although an established and respected musician, he is much more down to earth than a lot of the bands who have just made it.

Ricky G - By the Sea *Cue Groans*

I have never been so cold in all my life (well maybe once when I had to crawl out of the River Ooze at 3am one winter morning; but that's what acting in films does for you!) Ricky and his dad turned up at 7am, which is impressive for a musician I can tell you, and we headed out to Cayton Bay which is a nice little beach on the outskirts of Scarborough. By 'nice' I mean a seaside destination which is pleasent to spend time at in the summer, equiped with a stripy deck chair, a good book and an ice cream.

Not in the cruel grip of winter.

So yeah, it was cold, but as we're made of sterner stuff, we battled on despite the fact that my fingers soon resembled novelty ice cubes and poor Ricky's trainers, foot and half a leg were soon swallowed up by a large clump of clay like gunk.

After escaping the high tide at Cayton, we thawed out in a nearby greasy spoon. I was so grateful to be inside rather than out, I even forgot to take offence at the nearby black puddings and sausage and the scent of bacon hardly plagued my nostrills despite their desperate attempts. I sipped on a Green Tea and was proud to be vegetarian.

Watch out for singer/songwriter Maria Jordan

My latest commisioned work is for singer/songwriter Maria Jordan. We spent the day on the North Yorkshire Moors taking photographs for her album and website. The telephone in the above photograph was 'borrowed' from my flat because Maria took a liking to it at our pre-shoot meeting!

Sarahphotogirl featured in Digital SLR User magazine

I have just been written about in Digital SLR User. Although I have been the subject of numerous articles in the past, this is the first one to look at just my wedding photography. The article featured four photographers who are better know for a different genre of photography (mine is rock photography) and was titled 'Weddings as Well'. You can read the full article here.

Sarahphotogirl and Kaiser Chiefs

A while back I was filmed for BBC's Inside Out show. A TV Crew shadowed me on a couple of photoshoots (Kaiser Chiefs and iLiKETRAiNS) and filmed an exclusive interview. BBC Look North found out about this and asked me to appear on the evening news the same day. Both of these videos can be viewed here.

An introduction to a truly Victorian lady

You will notice some links to a new author called Emmaline Austere here and there around my websites. She is a very interesting and yet slightly bizarre young lady and her website is well worth a look! If you are a fan of Lemony Snicket, Philip Ardagh, Tim Burton, or the genius that is Roald Dahl then you should definitely check out her site. She needs no further introduction. Run along now.
