Shoot for Charity - APAE

At the beginning of January we launched our fund-raising plan for APAE Touros, featuring three monochrome prints of Venice and a calendar with colour images of Cyprus. We will provide feedback on sales / donations after the new term starts at APAE in mid-FEB.
In addition our studio is offering significant discounts on its portraiture service for residents of Touros on condition that they provide a tin of powdered milk for delivery to the school.
An update on this project will be published here at the end of February and monthly thereafter.

Our sincere thanks to those that have made donations at a time when calls for financial assistance are being made in support of Haiti, Urubamba Valley / Aguas Calientes, Sao Paulo etc. Climate change!


Image Categories

Image Categories

Our most recently created images may be found in the "Recent additions" category where they normally remain for up to 3 months.

Thereafter they will either be removed or will pass to the respective permanent categories ie Limited Editions, Monochrome (unlimited), Colour (unlimited), Cards and Calendars, and our Commercial Portfolio (samples of our commercial work). This latter category will move to another site in due course leaving this site purely to showcase our Fine Art works.

Shoot Acai and Shoot Froot

Shoot Acai and Shoot Froot

Alan Skyrme Photography`s site, Shoot Açaí (www.shootacai.com), was established earlier in 2009 to support the growing interest in açai, cupuaçu and other tropical / brazilian fruit in which we have become specialised.

We have now removed the non-acai fruit images from this site, which will henceforth carry only acai images, and transfered them to a new site - Shoot Froot - which was launched in January 2010.

Weddings and Portraiture

Weddings and Portraiture

High quality images presented in top quality albums, our wedding photography service will allow you to concentrate on enjoying the emotion of your special day. Your day is special, and our service is designed to allow you to enjoy the event in the knowledge that documentation of all of its magic moments are being captured with quality and security. Formal weddings or civil partnerships. Church or Registry Office. Home or abroad!

Our portraiture service is contemporary in style and is undertaken on location, in the comfort and relaxed atmosphere of your own home, alternatively at a special location of your choice eg a favourite park. We can also provide traditional studio photography for those who prefer a more formal approach to capturing special images.
