North Devon photographer challenges the weather

North Devon photographer Guy Harrop has been busy shooting several brochures and prospectuses for clients across the region. This year's bad weather has been the biggest challenge for Guy, trying to organise models and locations whilst juggling the weather forecasts which can be unpredictable to say the least. Luckily with his experience, decent kit and some clever lighting, Guy has still managed to keep his clients smiling.

Westcountry photographer wins a runner up prize in world's first ever International Food photographer competition.

Freelance North Devon photographer Guy Harrop is celebrating his success in the first ever international food photography competition the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year 2012. The competition attracted more than 3,000 images worldwide with entrants from over 60 countries, with the awards ceremony held at the Mall Galleries, London. 

 Guy, a photographer working in the westcountry for over 20 years, had two photographs shortlisted in the finals, with his cheese photograph winning a 2nd place prize in the ‘Food and its Place’ category.  Said Guy,“ Winning a 2nd prize in the world’s first ever international food photographer competition is very exciting news for me. Food photography is one of my passions and I am delighted to be recognised at this level. My two shortlisted images were both shot in Devon; one of a Clovelly fisherman pulling in his catch at dawn and the other of a cheesemaker holding a cheese round near Exeter.  I am very lucky to have such a fantastic range of produce and local food on my doorstep.”
