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.

Field Trip - NYC

One half of Dupe Creative ventured west across the Atlantic last week for some much needed recuperation and photographic invigoration.

Aside from taking in the usual wondrous sights and smells, Matt grabbed a few epic shots on his 5mp pocket camera. Proof positive that form is temporary, class is permanent ;).

We'll be uploading a couple more to our commercial photography portfolio and flickr site over the coming days.

One Park West - Brock Carmichael Architects

September at Dupe

The nights are getting longer and there's a slight chill in the air, but far from gearing up for hibernation, we're ready for the long hard winter ahead. Economic decline? Recession? Yesterday's news. A busy month ahead for Dupe. Places to go and people to meet.

Event Photography, Barnston Dale

First of all, apologies for the lack of updates recently. Summer has been and gone for Dupe, expect far more updates over the coming weeks.

This week saw Dupe head to The Barnstondale Centre to shoot for a recent launch event. I have particularly fond memories of the centre having spent a weekend there many moons ago whilst at primary school.

Things have really moved on there of late. They offer the opportunity to experience a wide range of moral building outdoor pursuits offsite such as canoeing, rock climbing, orienteering and problem solving to children of all areas and backgrounds.

For more information about the centre, click here. A few more images from the day can be found in our events photography portfolio.

Liverpool Vision PR Photography

Dupe Creative were on hand in Liverpool last night to shoot an event organised by Liverpool Vision.

Over 70 delegates were invited to the launch of a publication produced by English Heritage and the city's new economic development company. The company will enable Liverpool to complete and accelerate the economic recovery and growth of the last decade and build a sustainable economy - one which can compete more effectively in international markets.

If you have an upcoming event that needs capturing, you'll find that our PR Photography service is second to none.

Aerial Photography - Parade of Sail

Monday July 21st saw Matt Goodfellow taking to the skies to capture the spectacular Parade of Sail on the River Mersey - the highlight of the weekends Tall Ships Event. A client commissioned shoot, perfect weather conditions allowed us to provide some stunning images.

As you can see from the image above, we were fortunate enough to have one of our shots published in todays Liverpool Echo - pick up a copy, if you can.



The weekend has surely been the most enjoyable of Liverpool's Capital of Culture programme so far, with thousands of people taking to the streets across the 3 days to see the 70+ magnificent vessels.

To see a good selection of Matt's shots, visit out Parade of Sail aerial photograph page. You can now also view a much wider selection of aerial photographs of the North West on our portfolio page.

HDR Photography

This is our first attempt at a HDR photo. Taken during my trip to Rome last week, this famous building looks over a square containing one of the most incredible buildings of the world. Built circa 125 AD, the Pantheon is one of those structures which defies the time of it's creation.

HDR photography first grabbed my attention about a year ago when the work of Stuck in Customs was presented to me via Flickr.

Anyway, after finally downloading a copy of Photomatix and taking an appropriate RAW file I jumped into the process (helped largely by a tutorial on Wirral based photographer, Pete Carr).

Whilst I am pleased with my first effort, I'm very keen to become even more knowledgeable on the subject - we at Dupe are confident that there is a commercial opportunity for the technique and hope to utilise our new found knowledge on an upcoming project.
