Site now available on iPad and iPhone...


Livebooks offers you the chance to generate a mobile specific site, to make easy navigation upon iPhone's, instead of having to use all the small button located within the site. The coolest aspect of all is that finger gestures work within the site and images become full bleed, allowing for seamless viewing of the portfolio. Now all aspects of Ben Brown Photo are mobile. If you've got an iPad or iPhone head on over and take a look at www.benbrownphoto.com, it's pretty awesome...

Aaron Browne...

This latest shoot was a collaboration with a trials bike rider Aaron Browne. Only met the guy a week ago, but knew he would make for some pretty insane images. The images are part of a test shoot for a future project I'm a part hoping to be a part of. I needed to generate an idea of what the future images would look like and came up with these. Spent the day in Doncaster, England shooting images in several different awesome locations. After 5 hours of shooting and almost losing some of my kit due to the rugrats of Doncaster (Have camera insurance if you shoot there in the future), we came up with these images...

Richard Walch...

I've been struggling to come around to all these photographers I've aspired to become turning their hand over to this new dslr video world, but the work of Richard Walch is beginning to win me over. Creating promotional work for the Canon 5D mk II immediately caught my attention. Utilising many of the aspects learnt through his photography helps him to generate moving images of which really have still image characteristics about them. It's nice to see a photographer not just leaving his still image skills behind and adhering to traditional video styles and trying to discover something new and exciting. Take a look at the video to understand what I mean...

New Place...

Not really been active online the last month, and this is the reason. Moved into a new place and it's taken ages to get back online. The emails have built up and stress levels kept on rising, felt liked I'd changed my career to a handy man, but it's all totally worth it. Taken us about a month to get the house looking good, so now it's all done thought i'd show you what all the fuss has been for, just for those of you interested...

There's a few other bedrooms and load of bathrooms, but didn't think you'd be interested in seeing them. Still got a few bits and pieces to sort out and really need to get some artwork on the walls, but it'll all be done in time. Now I'm back to work and got a new space to work daily blog posts will be a regular, so keep checking back for whatever I find time to blog about...
