Seasons Greetings from Alternative Images

As another year is due to end as we approach the Christmas season for 2014. It’s time to look back over the events of the past year. The mistakes that have been made or achievements accomplished. I for one know I have made some errors and have learned from the experiences and this has given me the knowledge and opportunity to grow in a better direction. The achievements that I have made over the past year have been only a few but have been significant and I am please with that. One of those is that I have launched a new sister website for Alternative Images at www.corporatephotography.london

Alternative Images, corporate photography in London has accomplished some great goals in 2014. I have supplied images to clients that have been support to conferences, events and publications, to drive foreword those companies’ ideas and aspirations. I am looking to 2015 with great excitement and the possibilities that wait to use my experience and creativity to engage with new and existing clients.

So it only leaves me to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2015
Have Fun!

Lincoln’s Inn with BSDA

Alternative Images has been commissioned to attend the Gala Dinner for the annual summer assembly for the European Federation of Bottled Water hosted by the UK office BSDA, the British Soft Drinks Association. The venue this year was the historic buildings of Lincoln’s Inn with the famous Great Hall an Old Hall that houses many events during the year. The start of the evening was a guided tour for the guest group around the Old Hall where the guide gave a detailed history account of the years gone by of the famous building. Then the group were taken over to the chappell to explore more facts of British history. They were impressed with the fantastic stained glass windows of the chappell that stood tall at both end of the building. The Chapel was erected in 1623 and, at the end of the seventeenth century, chambers were erected in New Square, which had formerly been an open space contiguous with Lincoln’s Inn Fields.

The exact origins of Lincoln’s Inn, and indeed of the other three Inns of Court, are not fully known. The extant records of Lincoln’s Inn open in 1422, the earliest of any of the Inns of Court; but a society of lawyers by that name was then already in existence.   It is likely that it evolved during the late part of the fourteenth century. In contrast to many of the colleges of Oxford or Cambridge, which it resembles, there was no conscious founding or dated charter.

The weather for June was not at its best for the European group but after the short tour of 45 mins they gathered for a relaxed photograph outside with the Great Hall in the background. There followed a drinks reception held in the Crypt that is beneath the Old Hall for the group accompanied by the sounds of  flute and harp players before they were called for the more formal Gala Dinner situated above within in the Old Hall. The Old Hall is the finest building in the Inn and, indeed, is one of the finest buildings in London. It is small but beautifully proportioned and executed.
