Taking Stock

The first quarter to half an hour of the seminar will take the form of a quiz to demonstrate to candidates what sells and what doesn’t sell.

A keynote slideshow will take the candidates through how Jenny started in Photography and the different elements of her work. 

The slideshow will focus on Stock imagery and what sells and what doesn’t sell and how to create images for Stock.  This will take the form of examples of a good and a bad stock shot showing the difference between a concept shot and a ‘snap’.

The slideshow will last approx 1 and a half to 2 hours, and will allow for questions during the presentation.  There will be a half hour session after the slideshow for questions.

The presentation will take approximately 3 hours, and will finish at lunchtime, allowing for a 15 minute comfort break.

About Jenny

Jenny is a creative and talented photographer, with a breadth of experience across different fields of photography. Whilst specialising in garden and social photography, she draws upon her MA in Textiles to artistically capture the textures and patterns she sees, whether in a view of a garden, a close up of a flower or in her social photography, at Weddings and Balls.     
 
With her love of nature, Jenny spends all the time she can photographing gardens across the Midlands and beyond. She specialises in garden compositions, and plant and flower close ups. Her portfolio includes photographs taken in such well-loved local spots as the Birmingham Botanical gardens and Winterbourne Botanic Garden. But also further afield, such as Wollerton Old Hall Garden, Cooper’s Millennium Garden, Hergest Croft, Stone House Cottage Garden and the Dorothy Clive Garden.

As an established member of the Garden Photographers Association, her garden images are sought after by the national media and the horticultural trade. She has been credited with front covers on magazines including: Gardener’s World, the Horticultural Trade’s Association and Gardens’ Monthly, as well as having several hundred photographs published in other gardening magazines.

She regularly has photographs in the national press such as the Times, the Telegraph and the Mail on Sunday.  Her work is used; worldwide on plant labels; in gardening books by Usborne and in the RHS Plant Guide; on calendars for both Smith and Jarrolds; in diaries such as the 2010 Alan Titchmarsh gardening diary and the 2011 Dairy Diary. She also has an image featuring in the opening sequence of the TV Quiz Programme Q1 in the current series.

Her latest commission is to create digital wallpaper for the entrance hall of the Cowbridge Health Centre, near Cardiff.

‘Rock Landscapes, the Pulham Legacy’ featuring Jenny’s photography, is currently available through Amazon, and includes images taken specifically for the book including shots from a recent visit to Buckingham Palace.

Jenny has been a specialist stock Garden and plant photographer since 2006.
