Do you have a story to tell?

A new photography studio has opened its doors at the recently re-opened Duchy Square Centre headed by photographer David Lloyd. The aim of the studio is to experiment with light shaping techniques and effects across a range of subject matter both indoors and outdoors,  which David hopes will involve public participation, predominantly on a local level.

Participation is FREE. Strange as this may sound RG13 will not charge you to cross their threshold. "Charging somebody by the hour to spend their own time doesn't work commercially, it becomes too expensive. So if prints and downloads of the final images are needed people can simply pay for these separately," explained David. "I will not be advertising RG13 commercially either but build the reputation word-by-mouth looking particularly for interesting stories, local characters, and local interest, which will tell their own photographic story"

The range of work is of course as one would expect - head shots, portraits, modelling, sports teams, themes, special occasions, formal bridal or costume, workplace, and so on. David describes his studio  “as a space for the norm and for the creative, and it would be nice to work outdoors particularly across the moor."

The studio is accessible by appointment only as David spends much of his time travelling the world in pursuit of professional work associated with the European Tour, covering the world's best golfers. "My next trip is the Ryder Cup in the States and I will be glued to the back of the camera snapping Team Europe. There simply is no better competition !"

For the time being the studio business will be aired on Twitter (@rg13photo) and from time to time a newsletter will be posted. Anybody wishing to receive this or to get in touch with David, can email rg13photo@gmail.com.
