News & Events
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.
The Recent Additions currently shows images from Natal in the North East region of Brazil and from the Atlantic Rainforest near Curitiba in the South of Brazil.
What's next ?? (JUL-AUG 2009)
Currently in Cyprus, I expect to return to Brazil at the end of July. I can be contacted via my studio.
("Information - Itinerary" below).
Alan Skyrme Photography studio has just relocated from Curitiba in the south of Brazil to Natal in the North East of Brazil.

New York Buzz
"New York Buzz" is a set of images, recently processed though captured at the end of 2003, available to view via the following link. I wanted to show the city in a certain way hence the soft buzz effect, and with relatively large preview images, hence linking them to my other site:

Shoot Acai
Alan Skyrme Photography has a site, Shoot Açaí, (www.shootacai.com) to handle the growing interest in açai, cupuaçu and other tropical / brazilian fruit in which we have become specialised. There are currently 250 images on this site but this number will double in the next few months. About half od the images will be of fruit native to the North and North East regions of Brazil.
ARKive
Alan Skyrme Photography is honoured to have been asked, in 2008, to contribute one of its images to the ARKive database. We plan to donate more images to this worthwhile project.

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.
