I had to have a moment to myself as it bought a tear to my eye. I've been a big fan ever since the Ziggy days and I don't think there has been a week over many years that I haven't played a Bowie track.<br /><br />My favourite Bowie tune? How on earth do you choose? It could be Time or Five Years or Starman or Heros or the cover of Velvet Undergrounds White Light / White Heat. In fact it could almost be anything he did back in the 70's! <br /><br />A tragic loss - his music will live on forever.</span>Ian Staceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06072697756550349190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546298431602570702.post-10385057200069044632016-01-01T10:32:00.003+00:002016-02-10T20:30:41.313+00:00SALE NOW ON ...For a limited time only, until January 28th I’m having a sale at the studio (38, Market Street, Ely).<br />Lots of Landscape photographs, both framed and mounted at daft prices.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.ianstaceyphotography.co.uk/resources/blog/photo_sale_2016.jpg" width="560px"/><br />Ian Staceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06072697756550349190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546298431602570702.post-37291221570791048472015-12-04T12:18:00.002+00:002019-03-28T23:41:47.531+00:00GREAT QUOTATION<span style="font-size:14px; color:#000000;">So I've just been browsing the net, as you do.

You can still have your portrait session after this but I can't guarantee (and it's very unlikely) you will get your products before Christmas.<br />So this means you need to book your portrait photo session this week and do your viewing and choose your products by Friday!<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#10131A;"><br /></span><span style="color:#7F8592;"><br /></span>Ian Staceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06072697756550349190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546298431602570702.post-36087736858233388182015-11-18T09:46:00.009+00:002015-11-22T11:13:47.449+00:00Christmas Portraits Special OffersSpecial Portrait Offers for Christmas are now available with bigs savings over the normal prices …<br /><br /><strong>Christmas Package 1 - £100</strong><br />Portrait photo session and 2 x 7” Desk Frames <br />(Normal price £200 - a saving of £100) <br /><br /><strong>Christmas Package 2 - £295</strong><br />Portrait photo session and 1 x 16” Medium Wall Frame & 2 x 7” Desk Frames <br />(Normal price £445 - a saving of £150) <br /><br /><strong>Christmas Package 3 - £425</strong><br />Portrait photo session and 1 x 24” Large Wall Frame & 3 x 7” Desk Frames <br />(Normal price £670 - a saving of £245) <br /><br />PLEASE NOTE: In order to get your finished products in time for Christmas you need to have your portrait session and viewing and order your products before the 4th Dec.

A couple of months ago an attractive opportunity arose the result of which is my new photography studio will be opening soon in December. Here are a few photographs before it’s decorated.<br /></span><br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="Studio_Inside1_DP_33775" src="http://www.ianstaceyphotography.co.uk/photography_blog/files/studio_inside1_dp_33775.jpg" width="480" height="320" /><img class="imageStyle" alt="Studio_Inside2_DP_33776" src="http://www.ianstaceyphotography.co.uk/photography_blog/files/studio_inside2_dp_33776.jpg" width="480" height="320" /><img class="imageStyle" alt="Studio_Inside3_DP_33777" src="http://www.ianstaceyphotography.co.uk/photography_blog/files/studio_inside3_dp_33777.jpg" width="480" height="320" /><img class="imageStyle" alt="Studio_Inside4_DP_33778" src="http://www.ianstaceyphotography.co.uk/photography_blog/files/studio_inside4_dp_33778.jpg" width="480" height="320" /><br /><br /><br /><br />Ian Staceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06072697756550349190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546298431602570702.post-77577593219954768882014-01-18T08:43:00.000+00:002014-11-20T10:40:44.609+00:00The SWPP Convention<span style="font:13px Handlee-Regular; color:#1A1A1A;">I spent the day yesterday at the SWPP convention in London. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is 'thee' place to be for any serious photographer. It's proper title is </span><span style="font:13px Handlee-Regular; color:#B449D5;"><a href="http://www.swpp.co.uk/convention/">The Societies Convention 2014</a></span><span style="font:13px Handlee-Regular; color:#1A1A1A;">, as they changed their name from the SWPP a couple of years back, but I think most of us, especially us seasoned professionals who have been members for a number of years still refer to it (and them) as THE SWPP which stands for The Society for Wedding and Portrait Photographers.<br />Normally, as in past years I would have spent two or three days there, but unfortunately, or fortunately for my business, depending on which way I look at it, due to other commitments I was only able to do the one day this year.<br />Why is it 'thee' place to be? Well there are lots of reasons some of which I am going to explain now. These are not in any particular order and there are probably lots more I haven't mentioned. All the best wedding, portrait and other photographers will be there. Not just from the UK but from all over the world. They are all a good bunch, willing to impart their knowledge, wisdom and experiences with other attendees, sometimes in a more formal approach such as the wide variety of seminars on offer, and sometimes in the bar over a drink (or two). All the top players in the photographic industry have a presence at the trade show. A place where many of them launch new products and you can see products that you didn't even know existed and touch base with existing suppliers. Everything from cameras and equipment (Ooh - I want one of those Fuji X Pro1's) , wedding albums and framed products, studio lighting and associated products, training, insurance, you name it and it's likely to be there. You can view stunning photography from all the world's top photographers. <br />Most of all though, just being with all those like minded talented people, energises me for the year to come and inspires me to take my photography to the next level.<br /><br /></span><br /><br />Ian Staceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06072697756550349190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546298431602570702.post-26968820994927566382014-01-16T15:40:00.000+00:002014-01-16T15:54:41.471+00:00The Newmarket Wedding ShowGreat Offer on your Wedding Photography<br /><br /><img src="http://www.ianstaceyphotography.co.uk/resources/wedding-photos/newmarket_wedding_show.jpg" width="550" alt="Newmarket Wedding Show Special Offer" /><br /><br />Pop along and have a chat at the Newmarket Wedding Show, Newmarket Racecourse this coming Sunday, 19th January.<br /><br />Quote the phrase "Oh please photograph my wedding" and get £50 off your wedding photography and a further 10% off any additional products purchased when you book your wedding photography with me.<br /><br />I look forward to meeting you on Sunday.Ian Staceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06072697756550349190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546298431602570702.post-51754931447446084122014-01-12T10:24:00.000+00:002014-01-12T10:59:27.591+00:00February Photo Noir Special Offer<img src="http://www.ianstaceyphotography.co.uk/resources/special_offers/photo_noir_special_offer_feb_DP_22196.jpg" width="550" alt="Photo Noir Portrait Photography Special Offer" /><br />During February (2014) I have special offer on Photo Noir Portraits.
