Darth Vader and stormtroopers go shopping
I had a fun morning on saturday shooting the characters (real of course) from Star Wars outside the Model Zone store at the Bristol Galleries. They were a massive hit with the kids, but mainly of course with the adults too. They even had time to take in a bit of shopping !!
Saturdays are made for PR shoots like, lighted hearted and fun. During the winter (no weddings to photograph) I shoot Bristol City for the sunday independent newspaper. Believe it or not this is also supposed to be entertainment, but unfortunately most saturdays this season are turning into misery, Come On You Reds !!!

City Academy and Bath Rugby club
Spent last wednesday shooting with the staff and pupils at the City Academy, Bristol. It was a day set aside to shoot sports images and team group shots though in between we managed to photograph 175 year 11s, result !!. Though I must admit I was pretty tired by the end of the shoot. The day didn’t end there though, from the Academy I raced over to the plush ‘Bristol’ hotel to photograph ex England capt Lewis Moody and team mates attending and question and session with QBE Insurance group.

Neil Phillips Photography is now shooting editorial video !
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of filming the Cadbury Heath heritage group talking about the local areas history, particularly their experiences with apple orchards around Cadbury Heath and Kingswood. The area was covered in orchards right up till the 1950s and they told some lovely stories about their scrumping days.
Below is the link to the video that I made with South Glos Council. I love shooting film/video and I’m now offering the service to editorial Clients.
I hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think.

Once upon an Autumn’s Day
Spent the afternoon working on the South Glos commissioned short film “Once upon an Autumn day” so here is a poem that I’ve found of the same name.
It’s very apt during these grey windy autumn days, enjoy.
It’s written by, Joseph T. Renaldi
Once Upon An Autumn Day
Once Upon an autumn day,
Colorful leaves began to fade
In the midst of a chilly, frosty air
As multitude of trees grew steadily bare.
Once upon an autumn day,
The whispering breeze was here to stay
Moving aimlessly through the countless trees
Scattering leaves with the greatest of ease.
Once upon an autumn day,
The leaves whirled freely in every way,
Until at last they came to rest
Finding a haven in which to nest.
Once upon an autumn day,
The trees were dormant, and the leaves lay
Waiting for the winter snow to fall
To quickly obscure them one and all.
Joseph T. Renaldi

Spent the morning in the pub (working for Thatchers Cider) photographing one of my favourite drinks, then spent the afternoon stuck in a manure ditch in the orchard and had to be towed out. I didn’t touch a drop honest ! Good time to buy a 4×4 though !
