We’re really excited to have been com­mis­sioned by the Cran­borne Estate to cre­ate a port­fo­lio of pic­tures for their web­site, the estate extends into Dorset, Hamp­shire and Wiltshire .

Cran­borne Manor Gardern Cen­ter, Dorset.

The Estate com­prises mul­ti­ple busi­ness units includ­ing an amaz­ing Gar­den Cen­ter which is located in the orig­i­nal cob-walled gar­den of the Manor House, Farm­ing and Forestry, an Estate Shop and spe­cial­ist Butch­ery, a Join­ery, and a Christ­mas Tree Plan­ta­tion as well as exten­sive wood­land which is clas­si­fied as a Site of Spe­cial Sci­en­tific Interest.

Cran­borne Vil­lage Shop.

The pho­tog­ra­phy project will stretch across sev­eral months as the gar­den cen­ter has only just burst into life with Spring bloom­ing plants though the major­ity of the rose stock, which the cen­ter is renowned for, are yet to come into bloom and we wish to include the swathes of colour in the port­fo­lio. We still have the chal­lenge of pho­tograph­ing the Estates herd of White Park cat­tle, which will have a real pas­toral charm and hope­fully I will be able to include the Manor House in the back­ground. One project in the com­mis­sion that has been won­der­fully ther­a­peu­tic has been the pho­tograph­ing the blue­bells in the Estate’s pri­vate woods; being still and obser­vant in such peace­ful sur­round­ings has been deeply rewarding.

Below I’ve embed­ded a mon­tage of wood­land blue­bells, click on video to play.

I will be refresh­ing our Com­mer­cial Pho­tog­ra­phy showreel to include images from the Cran­borne Estate shots.

Regards, Simon.
