A Massive Update!
Ok, So we all know it’s been far far too long since my last blog post.
I did consider just for a minute writing a long boring account of everything I’ve achieved photographically over the last year or so – but then I decided that just showing you all my favourite pictures from recent times might just be enough.
So the short version is – this year saw me shoot my very first Reading Festival as a fully fledged card carrying agency photographer - (For Retna UK, many thanks to all the people there – especially Kelly Wong who is amazing!), My first Wedding (though I’m doing my next, next week so get those bookings in for 2010 if you want a unique and quirky perspective on your wedding day photographs) – all those years shooting bands under pressure make me pretty unflappable! I’ve set up my own portrait studio at home, I’m ready to launch myself as a full time photographer next year with lots of help and support from friends and family – so please pass on my details to everyone you know!
In the meantime – here’s a splurge of photos representitive of my website www.adamreading.com and feel free to give me feedback on the shots whether positive or constructive.

So there’s this amazing new Vintage Clothing shop in the Harris Arcade called Tiger Lillys and it’s
run by the amazing Chloe and Scarlet – I did a fun day’s shoot with them and loads of their friends

So, this is my first Wedding day shoot – I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun in one day before!
I really can ‘t wait to do a load more weddings and I’m taking bookings now for next year.
My next wedding is Halloween – in fashionable London – with venue’s over Chelsea, Mayfair and Clerkenwell
and that’s gonna be an absolute blast. Why was I so scared to start doing weddings? Bring it on!
