Thistle hotel meets ‘A Brit Different’

Many a day spent photographing hotel rooms this summer. As well as taking straight interior shots I had a bit of fun coming up with different ideas for reportage shots, showing the room ‘in-use’. There was no budget for models or props, and time was seriously limited, but I’m very happy with how they all came out. Most of the time my assistant would stand in as the model as I was obviously taking the photos, but on a few occasions I’d set the camera up on self-timer and jump in myself. This was one such example, and what better to be reading than a copy of ‘A Brit Different’!? No harm in a spot of product placement in one of the best known hotel brands in the UK, however softly in focus in the background! 😉

About this blog

The vast majority of posts in this blog are about quirky & eccentric competitions & festivals. I started it in 2006 in France with a competition I’ll never forget. Where contestants battle it out to become the World Champion Pig Squeeler, or ‘Cri du Cochon’. I had little knowledge back then of quite how far my pursuit of these kind of events would lead me. I’ve travelled all over Britain (and occasionally further afield) to capture our curiosities and quirks. There’s nothing uniquely eccentric about the British, you’ll find people all over the world up to all sorts of weird and wonderful activities, but we do have a remarkable capacity to embrace the madness. ‘A Brit Different’ is the book that was born from it, my labour of love! So what next? There’s always something interesting going on, so watch this space, only time will tell!
