Xc schooling + having a pro/ semi pro photographer

[clairencappelli]

After a great round at chilham castle at the HT having not had a good past at events there and having had a horse with injuries im trying to gather some into.

I really want to have some pictures ( good ones!) taken of me on my horse schooling over some of the bigger fences at chilham there either now while the ground is soft or in oct time.

Im emailling a few photographers but wanted to know if anyone can reccommed me someone who i can pay to take some pictures for me either a pro of someones whos interested in photography has a decent camera and would like to earn some money....

I can one bloke and he said he will charge 40.00 at hour and put the pics on his wesite for sale at the usual prices and his 8x6 pics are not bad at 5.49.

If anyone could supply me with any reccommendation or links to any photographers id be very grateful

What a shame you're not in Scotland! My husband takes fab shots and would happily have taken some.

He's suggested searching Flikr for "eventing" groups as he's seen some on there and put up a post on their forum. You may get someone local that way?

Good luck. I know how lovely it is getting nice photos, I'm very lucky that hubby can be dragged along to a lot of stuff with me and I get lovely piccies after! (his have been better than the pros at the last couple events I've been at!)

I have invested in a decent camera and I'm in the middle of training my little brother! I have told him I'll pay him £1 a good picture!
