We’ve made it a little lighter and brighter, winters approaching and we really didn’t want to assist anyone’s seasonal disorders, we’ve added an ‘offers page’ for current special offers, we ditched the ‘news’ page because you can follow the exciting developments of the small mole on my left ankle right here! Nice. Also gone is the ‘testimonials page’, we thought it was rubbish because our clients couldn’t spell, er……..actually ignore that bit! We moved the client testimonials to the NEW gallery page, so you can see the beautiful clients with their beautiful words all in one place! Some new clients were also added, long overdue on some, sorry!

Also new, and I’m in no way responsible for any part of it (based on the fact i said i would NEVER do it) is the ‘retouching’ page. This was insisted on; at gunpoint; from our client Victoria, who says she is ‘sick to the back teeth of people saying “well i could never look like that”’ whenever she mentions her ‘cure’ for mild depression. More on this coming soon!
Social stuff…… the blog (well the last 3 posts) makes it to the front-page, yes i thought that was rather clever too, and Twitter has its own little feed box at the bottom of the site, Mrs. Naked is looking after the tweets so anything could happen, you could follow her and get all the juicy stuff direct!

(Twitter WARNING…… i have created a monster of Mrs. Naked over the years and she noticed quite a few years ago that Formula one is not as boring as she thought, it would seem that some of the drivers (O.K. Mostly Jenson) are rather nice to look at, and before you think we’re recent converts we have been following the Somerset lad since he started in F1 and the Honda team since he joined them, although it’s now Brawn, same difference to us! So please be aware that weekend tweets during the season may seem a little ‘random’!)

There’s some other boring ‘backend’ stuff that’s new too but after spending several weeks on it I’m bored of it myself so i couldn’t imagine just how dull it would be for me to tell you about it, let’s just say it works and leave it at that

So why don’t I enter? Several reasons, I don’t have the time seems to be the easy reply, but I probably have got the time if I were really bothered about it. Secondly who do I send them to? The choice is almost unlimited as to whose award I’d like to boast about. My main reason however probably makes the most sense, I have absolutely no use for awards, I don’t have an ego issue and I really couldn’t give a hoot if a room full of ‘experts’ want to massage my professional ego or not, photography and any form of art is subjective matter, based on that it really doesn’t matter if every single person on the planet likes a piece of art, if the customer hates it.

Based on this philosophy I’ve come up with a remarkable scenario, I’m a multi award winner! I am of course basing this on the most important award givers there are……..clients.

Lets start by clearing up the first thought that shoots through the minds of people that see ‘The Naked Photographer’ …….. No one’s naked, sorry to shatter that one, for the civilized out there (o.k. British people) think ‘chef’, its a creative statement not a literal one.
