Not quite sure how it can be several months since I last blogged! But time I started again and what better way than to kick off with a trip to the Focus on Imaging Show in Birmingham with photographer friend, Ed Morton. With all the porcelain doll like female models being used for show purpose on the different stands, I was delighted to see a half naked, fantastically toned and tanned male model advertising the very company who I insure my camera gear with - www.aaduki.com! I must add that their male models on show are NOT the reason I insure with them, they were in fact recommended to me by fellow photographer Phil Richardson of Melen Studios.
Based in Okehampton, Devon, Aaduki offer competitive prices and are a friendly bunch - the fact that they advertise themselves at various trade shows using hot male models is just a lovely bonus for the ladies! I did wonder whether they alienate themselves from the male photographer market by doing this but decided not for a couple reasons - 1) watching demo's where gorgeous female models are used does not put me off buying that company's product and 2) it's different, catches your eye and is also manned by
men and women in suits all too ready to give you the sales chat.
Apart from that bit of loveliness, I also was very impressed with the company Simm2000 who were offering a fantastic starter deal of sample albums in various different sizes. I've seen these guys at different shows and they are always very personable and friendly - based in Hatfield they are not too far away and being all under one roof, one gets the feeling they will go the extra mile for you. Also had a couple of high recommendations from a couple of their customers who were standing next to us so was able to quiz them on various things which was great. In all, a fun day AND the sun was shining!!! It could only be a good one :)
