Festive Christmas delights in Bournemouth

In December 2020, I was asked to capture the essence of Bournemouth at Christmas through imagery by Bournemouth Town Centre BID.

I was delighted and headed out a few evenings & late afternoons to see how to capture those festive lights and shop decorations with lovely shoppers and light trails with vehicles – as to create some movement in the images.

They had already seen some snap shots I had previously made as I could not resist those glorious lights in the night and to bring a bit of magic to my portfolio…

We contacted Vivien at short notice to take some Christmas photos of Bournemouth town centre for our newsletter and social media. She totally exceeded our expectations, with a large selection of absolutely stunning images. Everything we had asked for was covered, and she was incredibly intuitive as to the kind of image we wanted, and what would work well for us. The majority of the images we wanted were evening and night-time shots, which is a real skill, and Vivien rose to the occasion with night time images that were warm, welcoming and glowing with colour. She even managed to turn a rainstorm to her advantage, capturing beautiful reflections of the Christmas lights in the wet streets. Very highly recommended.
