I recently had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours with Nottingham photographer Christopher Terry.

For some time now I have been meaning to have some up to date branding photos. I'm not usually one for posing for photos and prefer a photo of me to be captured unawares. Having seen some of Chris' portrait photography I was more than happy when he offered to take mine!

The day of the shoot - it was a gorgeous wintery sunny November day and our first stop was the roof top of one of the Nottingham City Centre car parks (well why not!). The views across Nottingham were breathtaking.
We then moved onto the streets around Nottingham's Castle Rock Brewery

Followed by a stroll along the Embankment....

and then into the Nottingham Memorial Gardens..

Thanks to Chris, I now have a great selection of images to use and also enjoyed a really fun photoshoot!
You can see a few more of the images featured on the Christopher Terry Photography blog.
