Dance Portraits!

Fun with the Oddsocks Theatre

Recently I had a promotional stills shoot for Oddsocks productions a Derby-based theatre company, for their upcoming show Comedy of Errors.

It was a super fun shoot as usual with these guys, during theatre portrait shots there are a lot of costumes and characters to portray to show the variety of the show we are promoting, so there is always a laugh showing the best of these characters as can be seen below!

We also shot some other shots for a future production which can also be seen below to and on the Faces page of the site!

BFI short Pop!

karl poyzer November 23, 2019

I had the opportunity to work as a Unit stills photographer recently on a BFI short film called Pop which is about identity and gender, the short needs some support to get it to completion.

The talented Director Laura Margo Roe and DOP Bartholomew Bazaz did an amazing job on the film as well as the rest of the crew, and it was so much fun to work on, I had the pleasure to work with the wonderful Stephen Graham and the young lead Jake.

So to get it through post-production they have a crowd funder which can be seen below, So get yourself a perk and help it get to the final stage, even a share is a big help! Take a look at some of my stills from the film while your there and some can be seen in this blog to!

A Snowy Day

karl poyzer February 21, 2019

As I’ve mentioned a few times photography is not just a job to me its my passion and I enjoy doing it in my spare time as much as I do for work! One of my favourite aspects of it is going out into the country side and capturing the natural beauty, so when some snow had settled in the local area I had to go and explore.

I visited Attenborough Nature Reserve and it was like a beautiful Winter wonderland, So here’s a few images from my day exploring this stunning scenery. It’s so important that we take time for ourselves and do what we love!

Hope you take some time to do something that makes you happy!

Thanks

Films Films and more Films

karl poyzer October 15, 2018

I’ve been quite busy lately on a few film sets. From working on music videos in Ireland to short films in Manchester!

I love working on set and documenting the events of the day, I did Unit stills on a great little music video for Hazey eyes with Director Simon Diamond, and amazing actors Erin Kellyman and Tom Blyth, Stills from this can be seen below and on the unit stills page!

I worked on another music video in Ireland for musician Daithi and Director Lochlainn Mckenna, which is on the low down till the video is released, so I’m unable to share photos for this at the moment. But I can share the music video I worked on in the summer for Daithi, which is here: In my Darkest Moments which has won 3 Shark awards since its release!

I also just came off doing Unit stills on a Short Sci-fi at the weekend, the photos for this are in the editing process at the moment.

And last but not least, I worked on a great little short in Manchester called Lippy, which is a short horror for FOX’s Hulu, Huluween film festival. It was great to work with Director Lucy Campbell DOP Phill Wood, and Actress Kierston Wareing. Stills can be seen below, and on the unit stills page.

All words in Bold can be followed to a video of the productions, or a link to the photos on my website!

If your after a Unit stills photographer for any of your projects, please get in touch!

The Snowy Peak District Part Two!

karl poyzer March 23, 2018

Snow Upon The Peak District

The Second hike in the Peak District was on a snowy day, were we tackled Kinder Scout and what a hike it was! We Scrambled up some Rocks to the top which was an adventure in itself, once at the top the views where beautiful seeing the snow meet the hills.

On this hike I only managed to get my Canon G9X point and shoot out due to the extreme cold weather my hands where frozen for every shot but it was worth it!

While at the top the weather decide to take a turn for the worse with 60mph winds and snow blowing our way, it was tricky for me to stay up right and I had plenty of falls to follow, But even with all this weather, we had an amazing time and an adventure I will remember.

Did I mention how stunning the views where from the top, take a look below!

Peak District Gallery Below!

There's a hiker in here can you spot him?

Alex showing us the next step in the hike

Looking back on how far we had already come.

Thanks
