Tears of a Clown Part 2.

It's been such a busy month I almost forgot to put these two images up from an ongoing project, "Tears of a Clown" with my good friend Nigel. Here he is photographed with both of my lovely if somewhat badly behaved dogs Ivan & Elvis. The latter image won a Highly Commended Award in the SWPP's May Monthly Competition.

I get lots of wonderful families in for portrait sessions at Studio Marko. This is one example of one of my favourite recent families who came through one of our favourie referral companies. It was a joy to photograph three generations and their wonderful Labradors and to capture such a special moment in all of their lives. I created two fantastic multi-print composites for each family and received this wonderful testimonial after they had received their orders...
"Dear Marko,

We are delighted with the pictures of Molly and Bendy and the family. They are being appreciated by many, especially our other daughter, Nicky, who loves hers.
Thank you so much for producing such a beautiful memento of two happy visits to your studio and a special thank you to your partner for giving Emily and Nick such fun making the chocolate.
Now Molly can grow old and grey gracefully! Bendy has a head start with the white on her chest.
Warm best wishes, Gordon and Liz and all the family."
