20.01.2022 MEET THE STAFF! This month you get to meet the talented Jak Scanlon who has been with the Camera House team for over 3 years, to check out some more of his amazing work check out Item Productions. The featured image is from the set of A Tale of Two Knights ............................................................................... Favourite aspect of photography/ cinematography? My favourite aspect would have to be story. There are so many ways in which you can tell a sto...ry through cinematography and even more ways in which that interpretation can change depending on the choices of gear that you make. Photographer/videographer/ artist that inspires you? Roger Deakins, hands down. Although this is a common answer for most cinematographers it is so common because the way in which Deakins tells a powerful story through camera technique and gear choice. You would be surpised how many award winning films this one man has been Director of Photography on, films like Blade Runner 2049, Saving Private Ryan and 1917. See more

19.01.2022 Meet the staff! This month we are chatting to the marvellous Margie. We'll cover about why she loves photography, who inspires her and a bit about her amazing zine she completed during lockdown. Catch her amazing work on instagram @_mishep ............................................................................................ ZINE CONTENT: Over the first few weeks of isolation I finally put together a small photography zine, which is something I’ve been meaning to do fo...r years. It touched on the fragility of memory and capturing key moments in life. It was mainly to document parts of my life but spoke about time and our relationship with it, as well as the way an adolescent views the world. What genre of photography do you enjoy most? Still life, outdoor photography and what you could consider it as capturing moments in time. Random details you come across on your day to day journey. Like the edge of a building or suburban scenes, the essence of everyday life. Organic scenarios. I never experiment much with staged photography but I enjoy it when I do. In high school I enjoyed staging photography, I liked putting effort into creating an image. I had to explore creating emotive scenes for my folios, so I was a bit more experimental.

11.01.2022 Meet the Staff! This month we are chatting to the talented Margie, to see more or her inspiring work head over to her instagram page @_mishep ............................................................................................. What got you into photography? My mum has always been the designated photographer and I think it is literally just my genes to want to capture moments. She gifted me a small compact camera when I was young. When I was in year 6 I bought a Canon... 600D and with that came a casual photography class at lunch time. What was your first camera? A little compact Olympus for Christmas. I realised I wanted something better so for years I saved all of my money and washed my sibling’s cars to save my money to buy the best camera: my Canon 600D haha.

07.01.2022 Meet the Staff! It's the last week chatting to the talented Jak Scanlon about his love of videography. Check out his page at Jak Scanlon to see more of his amazing work. .............................................................................. Why do you love working at Camera House? I love working at Camera House because you get to learn new things, the job I find is based mostly in technical knowledge. In order to provide solid and honest help to customers you need to... know all the ins and outs. I get a lot out of helping someone find the right camera for them, no spending more or less money than they should. Find their own personalised "perfect camera". Current Kit? My Current Kit consists on the Panasonic S1H with the 24-105mm 4/f Lens. Love this Camera for its full-frame sensor along with its various recording formats. I run it with a cage so I can mount a top handle and my Atomos Shinobi Monitor on top along with a Rode Video Mic Pro when I need audio. What's your dream kit? The dream Kit would definitely be an Arri Alexia Mini LF along with the Arri Signature Cinema Primes. This is the sort of kit you’ll find used in many feature films along with Netflix shows. It has an amazing look and quality that cannot be matched with any consumer camera.
