Steve Gubbins Studios will be taking part in the Horsham Artists Open Studios which this year is on the weekends of 16/17th and 23/24th June 2012. This is a great day out for the whole family and we would welcome visitors to come to the studio to look at our Ceramics and Photographic Abstracts.
Horsham Artists Open Studios runs every year in June and is an opportunity to see Artists and Makers in the Horsham District demonstrating and talking about their work.
Memories last longer than a lifetime. From one generation to the next, photographic memories connect family members. Photographs tell stories about significant events in the life of a family, and contribute to genealogy projects.
When special events occur, don’t risk recording their remembrance in the form of simple snapshots. Professional photographers can capture those occasions in beautiful, lasting photography. Family reunions, graduations and anniversaries are a few of the celebrations where the photographer shoots on location.
Location shootings require special expertise to deal with lighting issues, backgrounds, and staging. If you have ever taken or been given snapshots that contain unknown people, unwanted objects, or poor lighting, you know how disappointing that can be. Don’t take chances with those special times and memories. Professional photographs ensure you will have that special moment beautifully captured and preserved.
Photography is an art, and the photographer is the artist. On location shoots require experience and creativity. A professional photographer has a trained eye for the most scenic spot for your shoot, and always has a selection of tools available to improve the photographic experience, including reflectors, lighting enhancement, tripods, off camera flash, as well as wide angle and other lenses. The professional has a “box of tricks” to ensure your photographs are magical.
Churches, schools, beaches, parks, gazebos, and many other locations make perfect backdrops for memorable family and individual portraits. Your photographer can turn these venues into charming backgrounds, creating marvelous imagery and exceptional memories. The photographs from your shoot move into the photographer’s digital darkroom, where the finishing takes place. Lighting adjustments, color enhancements, black and white conversions, blemish removal, teeth whitening, and much more can be done by the professional photographer.
Don’t leave your important events to chance. Have your memories and family traditions captured in professional photography, so they can be shared with generations to come.

Studio photography has been used by professional photographers to record family history for generations and today’s technology provides them greater options than ever before. Life’s most meaningful moments can be passed down from one generation to another, in the form of professional family portraiture. Memories, that last a lifetime and beyond, are created in a studio setting at Steve Gubbins Studios.
Family Portraits preserve history for future generations, and it’s essential for their preservation to have high-quality inks and papers. Professional photographers provide their creative edge and technical expertise when doing your shoot, and present you with superior quality photographs. The post-production work, done by the photographer, can include color corrections, blemish removal, and retouching.
Studio lighting creates a mood and softness, to capture those special moments that occur only once in a lifetime. Love, marriage, pregnancy, birth, and graduation are just a few of those special moments. The studio photographer manipulates light to create shadows, and soft facial lighting. The right lighting is essential to a beautiful portrait.
The professional photographer directs the subject in numerous poses to highlight the most flattering angles. They understand how important it is to accentuate the person’s best features in a variety of ways.
Steve Gubbins Studios take pride in our ability to capture the individual personalities of the family to produce a unique family portrait to treasure.
Studios encourage their clients to bring special props to the studio. Props help reveal the personality of the subject being photographed. Musical instruments, sports equipment, favorite toys, and costumes are especially popular for children. Studios always have an assortment of props on hand to add flavor to the shoot.
Have the highlights of your life captured and preserved in beautiful family portraits. Photography is much more than knowing how to use a camera. Don’t leave your family’s history to chance or snapshots. The professional photographer is an artist, creating the scene, the mood, and the ambiance. Protect your family’s treasured moments in exquisite professional portraits.

A high quality, professional family portrait is a beautiful gift idea because it is memorable and irreplaceable. Whether it is given to grandparents, cousins, aunts or uncles or any other relative, professional photographs have value.

Most Businesses understand the importance of branding as part of a marketing strategy. Money is spent on corporate identities, making sure all elements of a business are ‘on brand’ and that websites, brochures, business cards and mailings all confirm to branding standards. What a shame then when businesses, remembering that ‘people buy from people’ forget that pictures and photographs should also enhance brand.
How many times have you visited a website (or social media site) and seen unprofessional business headshots? We’ve all seen those photographs where a trusted professional is turned into a small, badly-lit anonymous person.
Websites which feature professionally taken business headshots of owners and employees make the business more approachable and more human. Making sure the headshots also present everyone in a way consistent with brand is good marketing.
Steve Gubbins Studios produce professional business headshots to enhance your brand. Either in the studio in Warnham or on location in your offices. Either for larger organisations wanting a series of portraits or individuals running their own businesses. Call to discuss brand enhancing business headshots: 01403 264777
