Architectural Photography of the Sydney Opera House

Here’s a couple of shots from a mini folio of architectural images I’ve been working on which I shot earlier in the year while we were in Sydney. The black and white really sets off the tones of the Opera House against the dark sky and emphasises the wonderful graphic shapes and angles (with just a hint of Storm Trooper here and there!). Love it!
There’s more of these as an mini folio/album on my Facebook page as well as a couple of my favourites in my Interiors and Exteriors folio. Please have a look and add to me your likes. All images ©Adrian Lyon

 

Great memories from the London 2012 Olympics which opened a year ago today

It seems hard to believe a whole year has gone by since we were all eagerly anticipating the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Sadly I didn’t get to attend that but I did get see some of the action in the stadium during the Paralympics where I took this panoramic image. It’s made up from five individual frames which were carefully stitched together, which is not as easy as you think when shooting hand held! A wonderful time to be in London no doubt about it!

Interiors Photography by Adrian Lyon

Here’s two great shots from some recent interiors shoots which I really enjoyed. It was a pleasure to study and capture the design and attention to detail that’s gone into these two properties from Stephen Dick at Residence Interior Design. Love the idea of having a bath with a view of the Shard also! You can see more from these shoots in my Interiors folios in the folios section. All images ©Adrian Lyon.

 

I’m really pleased to announce the start of a new partnership with Gallery Stock who are a premier stock agency based in New York and London. Gallery Stock offers creative content from some of the most internationally distinguished photographers in the industry. From the Gallery Stock website “…The concept is simple: to license only the highest-quality photography to premium customers. Gallery Stock connects art buyers, photo editors, art directors, and designers with the photographers they know by name from the fine art world and the commercial assignment industry…”.

You can follow a link on the screen shot above to my images represented by Gallery Stock (which will be growing in number as the year progresses) and from there to the rest of their website. All images ©Adrian Lyon/Gallery Stock.

Studio Photography for Track Audio

These beautiful components from Track Audio were part of a brochure shoot with David Denyer PR which included all their range of audio support equipment. It’s exquisitely made stuff, the attention to detail and the wonderful machining goes right across the range. A joy to photograph! All images ©Adrian Lyon.

An image celebrating 50 years of the audio cassette

So do you remember the humble audio cassette and the majesty of the mix tape and recording your favourite tracks from the Top 40 on a Sunday afternoon? It’s hard to believe it’s fifty years old yet at the same time it seems like an age since it was a useful way of storing and reproducing music such has been the progress of technology in recent years.

It was never the most reliable of media with great arm-fulls regularly needing to be fished out of the deck before being feed gently back into the cassette plus it never really sounded good, especially after a spell in the car. But it did (eventually) allow music to become properly portable and accessible almost anywhere (assuming you had enough batteries) which is reason for celebration in it’s self.

Wonder how long it will be before we’re saying similar things about CDs and DVDs?

Studio Photography for HiFi+

These are a two of my favorite shots of the Magico Q1 speakers and Jadis JA120 amp from a couple of recent shoots for HiFi+ magazine. Both are gorgeous products and phenomenally expensive too, but worth every penny, I’m told… (guys, may be next time I could borrow them for while?!) All images ©Adrian Lyon.
