Travelbound and Skibound are part of TUI Holidays and in July I was commissioned to take some photographs that they could use for brochures, website and general marketing. During the summer months the French Alps and mountainous areas are generally quieter and the resorts concentrate on summer outdoor activities such as trekking, mountain-biking, white-water rafting, dry luge runs and ice skating. The shoot concentrated on a school party from Kings School in Macclesfield, Cheshire and my brief was to get photos of the year 8s and year 9s doing various activities.
As a photographer who does a lot of work with schools and someone who loves outdoor activities this was a dream job for me and I really enjoyed immersing myself in the activities to get photos that hopefully reflect the range of experiences the kids went through.

Travelbound has a number of hotels at Alpe d’Huez, which is where the Tour De France finished this year and some of the scenery was stunning. We also had a day at Mont Blanc and took a trip into the Glacier.

In spite of the, at times Biblical weather, we managed to get most of the scheduled activities done.
Many thanks to Travelbound for giving me this opportunity and also to staff and pupils at King’s School who were fantastic. I met so many great kids and they were a credit to the school and of course themselves.
At present this gallery of photos is private view only, but to see some examples of other corporate and travel work take a look at the corporate pages on my site:
