Happy New Year to all our customers and friends

Myself and Tina would like all our friends and customers for making 2009 a successful year for us.

We will endeavour to make 2010 even better.

We are introducing several new ideas , including boudoir photography and some stuff you will have to wait and see.

We would like to wish you all a happy new year, and hope to see you in the studio soon.

More remodeling is taking place at the studio,over the christmas period too. trying to make the atmosphere ever better.

Merry Christmas to all or friends and customers

Apologies for a lack of content on our blog lately.

Things have been manic at Rainbow, with the run up to Christmas, and the surge in demand at our sister company .

I've been out gigging with the camera again.

A few weeks ago it was at The Frog and Nightgown in Worksop, and last weekend at The Mill in Mansfield.

The Mill were Hosting the final of their Battle of The Bands .

An amazing night, and some cool shots taken.

We would like to wish all our customers, and friends of Rainbow a wonderfull Christmas and New Year, and thank you all for your continued support and custom.

Thankyou.

Mark and Tina Brindley.

A few band shots

Bands, Bands and more Bands.

Apologies for our lack of blog activity.

We've been a little busy.

The studio is doing well. with families pets, and everything else being shot recently.

Meanwhile, i've been upto my neck in gig editing.

A couple of weeks ago, i was at Rock'it 09 in Rugby as official event photographer.

Heavens basement, Eureka machines, Jukebox Junkies and Audio narcotix were on the bill.

It was an incredible night, and a few more friends were made.

Dont tell anyone, but Eureka Machines were better than the headline band, Heavens Basement.

A really tight band,Eureka Machines, gave a real show. Something that a lot of bands, sadly, dont do.

Last weekend saw me shooting old mates Gods to fall at the Frog and Wardrobe in Worksop.

Along with V-twin and Stonerun, neither of whom i had seen before..

Ginger and the rest of GTF were hyperactive and loud as usual.go see em when you can.

Stonerun , a band from Sheffield are a band who should go far.

They held the audience by the short and curlies, and look like a real ROCK band should.

Amazing performance. Another must see band for lovers of ROCK.

Tonite, i am off to Nottingham to shot another band Fargo.

you can check out my band photos on my myspace page too.

Halloween in Whitby

Julia & Darren's Wedding

In and Around Whitby

Back from Whitby.

What a great weekend it was.
cracking b&b, the fox and hounds at ailsthorpe.
Highly recommended.
The wedding went well, and i must say, Darren and Julia are the nicest people, who made our job much easier, by being so friendly and welcoming.
They did manage to turn up in a hurse too.
The look on Julia's mums face was hilarious. (she hadnt been told).
The reception at the Resolution was also great fun.
You can beat 20 odd Goths with alcohol.
I didnt try the specially made cocktail named after Darren, called Bloodlust.
Tina says it burns the hair on the back of your neck on the way down.
Feeding time was nice for me. i love gateau.Thanks Jools.
Followed by a drive upto the Abbey for some scary photographs.
I'm sure Tina will post some shortly.
Lets just say they involve vampires and gravestones.
You will have to wait and see.

Saturday evening was spent at the Spa pavilion, with a couple of the wedding guests.
Some incredible shows were put on by the bands, and we left at way passed 1 AM.
Slept like a large tree ,and had a hearty breakfast before setting of in typical Yorkshire , horizontal rain.
The drive back was horrendous, but we had such a good weekend, that i doubt we will remember the return journey for long.
Whitby Goth Weekend is definitely recommended.

Whitby and the Goths

I am ridiculously excited.
Rainbow are off to Whitby shortly, to shoot the wedding, tomorrow, of the lovely Julia (Jools) and her soon to be , husband, Darren.
I,ve even had a blue/black mohican for the weekend's festivities .( i know, i'm having another mid life crisis).
New black clothes have been bought(well, it has too be done), and black nail varnish has been snaffled from my daughter.
Looking forward to a weekend of huge numbers of photographs, and a corking wedding.
Pictures up later, no doubt.
Mark.

Keep it secure

As you can see, Tina has been busy "sexing up" laptop safes for a local company.
Their website bod asked for the images to make the safes "sexy".
Personaly, i found that highly amusing.
But Tina has done a good job, and the client is happy.
As to wether or not theyre sexy, well i will let you decide.

The lovely Helen

Yes,for those more observant of you. We shot Helen a few weeks ago for the Shades Hair shoot.
Helen was so impressed with the results that she decided to do her own portfolio shoot with us.
A few hours of costume changes, hair tweeking , and a lot of laughs.
Helen is a very nice lady, and an awful lot of fun.Very open to suggestions, and should do well with her modeling.
The big drill in the last shot is mine, just in case you wondered.

Helen Shaw Portfolio

We all had a fun day with Helen and Boyfriend, when she came for her model portfolio shoot
