Simon Buck Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog!

    This is the place to check out all the latest news and images from Simon Buck Photography. Regular updates will include samples of the photos from recent commissions, business news and any general points of interest relevant to my work.

    My old website used to feature a wide range of work from weddings to PR to commercial to surfing to travel. Having now split my business and launched a new website focused primarily on social photography the blog will also give me a chance to exhibit this variety of work once again. Of course weddings and portraiture will play a large part but when I have some particularly juicy surf photos, cool landscapes or interesting PR & editorial shots I'll be putting them up on here as well.

    I love to hear your opinions so please feel free to add your comments to the relevant posts. Keep checking back when you can or subscribe for automatic updates straight to your email.

    Thanks and enjoy,

    Simon

Norfolk Surfing…

I haven’t shot any of the  local surf for nearly two years so it was fun to get out, have a surf and then shoot the leftovers at the end of last week. We had some good swell off the back of the recent storms over Scotland and a nice little offshore breeze to clean it all up. Not epic by any standard but very welcome, even if we did freeze in the process.

The main stars of these pictures are two local rippers, Tom Cook and George Barran.

If anyone wishes to purchase professional prints of these images you can contact me via the blog header:

12×8″ = £35.00  or  15×10″ = £50.00, 10% off two or more prints purchased   –   Christmas deadline is Thursday 15th December.


BIPP South East Region Awards 2011

Yesterday I was told that I’d been recognised in this year’s British institute of Professional Photography’s South East Region Awards. I achieved a Merit for one of my surfing images and even better, the highest scoring wedding image resulting in a Bronze Award.

Thanks to everyone at the BIPP involved in making the awards happen and congratulations to the other successful entrants – winners and images here.

Band Photography Norwich – introducing Hessian Rose…

What does a wedding photographer do when wedding season quietens down a bit. Hang up the camera, kick back and relax to wait for the following spring.

Hell no!

Here’s a few images from last week’s shoot with Hessian Rose, an unsigned but hugely talented rock band fronted by an old surfing buddy of mine Luis Alonso Davis.

Along with Ash (guitar), Dan (bass) & Stacy (drums) they’ve just released a batch of new material and it’s sounds rather good. Their new demo is now out and listenable on their myspace site here and facebook pages here. I particularly like the tracks “Reach Out” and “Bruises”.

Enjoy!

P.S. A big thanks to Ae and Paul for ably assisting me on the day!
