Fire-writing
A couple of years ago we were chosen to be the Outwell tester family in the UK. Outwell is a Danish company that makes top of the range camping gear and over the last couple of years we have been lucky enough to try out some of their fantastic tents and camping accessories. This year we took our Outwell tent to Camp Bestival where we were the envy of the festival-goers around us.

We then set up camp at Burnbake camp site in Dorset, between Corfe Castle and Studland, and spent the whole of August going to and from our new “home from home”. As August is one of the busier months for me, with lots of weddings, it meant that I would often be away for the weekends but it was still one of the best breaks I have had over the last few years and we were surrounded by good friends enjoying the “great outdoors”.
Holidays are always a chance to unwind, and during the break it gives me a chance to get some family photos and also to experiment. One evening I set up my camera to get some “fire-painting” photos (above). I also took my little Canon G9 into the sea with an underwater housing to get some photos of the children swimming and playing, and then there is also some amazing scenery.At the moment this gallery which captures the whole month is private view but I will be putting together some public view galleries that captures key moments very soon. In the meantime if you would like to see previous shoots done for Outwell then please visit the Lifestyle Galleries pages.
