The Big Picture

The Big Picture is surely the most fascinating, beautiful and thought provoking place to go for photography at the moment. If you have any interest in a) photography, b) current affairs or c) life itself, then be sure to bookmark it.

Awe-inspiring stuff. Often a bit of a reality check too.

Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral

Shots taken by Matt Goodfellow at Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral last week for a good client of ours. A certain festive look to the images is hard to ignore - we're fast approaching that time of year again.

For more information about the building head over to Wikipedia (obviously we're far too busy to explain ourselves!). Of course, for further examples of our work in commercial photography and creative design visit our website.

Two New Websites from Dupe Creative

It's been a busy few months for the design division at Dupe Creative. Two new projects have reached completion in recent weeks - both of which happen to be websites.

First up is deeptek.co.uk.



Deep Tek is an innovative and experienced design and development company that has its roots in the specialist deep water salvage industry. With the help of freelance designer Nick Gerrard Dupe were asked to design and build a bespoke website to show off the many areas expertise Deep Tek offer.

Secondly, artist and sculptor Stephen Hitchin came to us asking for a refesh of his current site. Eagle eye viewers may notice the similarities between his site and ours. Well, give yourself a medal - the design is based on the Dupe template. It allowed us to very quickly build a new framework that is much more flexible in terms of maintenance.



Big changes for our site are afoot as well, however. We can't say anything yet but expect a big announcement before Christmas.

SmokeFree Zombies at Liverpool One

Dupe Creative were on hand to capture a scary sight in Liverpool City Centre last week.

Leading North West marketing consultancy Kenyon Fraser organised the event on behalf of SmokeFree Liverpool.A 70-strong group of dancers and members of the SmokeFree youth group, D-Myst, marched through the city in scary costumes to raise awareness of smoking in youth rated movies.

Smoking in movies is believed to be the biggest single influence on young people to start smoking. SmokeFree Liverpool are asking UK film regulators BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) to keep smoking out of all future films which can be seen by under-18s.

Our photographer, Matt Goodfellow, did his best to keep up with the group as they dashed from street to street, terrifying shoppers as they went (the dancers that it, not Matt).

For more information about the event, visit the Kenyon Fraser and SmokeFree Liverpool websites.
