Game shoot photography: Barnwell, Northamptonshire

Game shooter shooting pheasant on Barnwell Shoot

The beautiful village of Barnwell, near Oundle in Northamptonshire, is host to a small, friendly syndicate shoot which I visited in early December 2018.

One of the syndicate members is also one of my commercial clients and wanted some images of some of his products in use. The brief was to create some lifestyle images of shooting clothing and accessories during the course of a normal day’s shooting.

A month or so previously I had taken my mobile studio down to the
company’s Wellingborough headquarters and spent the day shooting their products for the new catalogue. The images captured on the shoot day were then used to complement the studio images in the catalogue and provide front and back cover images

Conveniently the weather on the day was varied, providing some bright and contrasty drives and others which were dark and very wet.
