Following on from my shoot in July of Matravers Master Thatchers harvesting their Wheat harvest I returned last month to capture them combing the same harvest.

As I look over my last Blog entry I’m not sure where this year has gone all of a sudden.
It’s been on the whole another busy year although the late summer months did quieten down.
This allowed me time to continue my Life In A Somerset Landscape Project and shoot some other personal work like the shoot I’m posting here.
George Hider is an established artist working with metal which is often gathered from scrap that he has acquired.
Based on his farm near Merriott South Somerset he is a member of the Somerset Guild of Craftsmen.
Much of his work is inspired by his love of animals as was very evident when I visited.
A few weeks ago during a hot spell of summer weather, I received a message I’d been waiting for from Reuben to say they were starting the harvest
STEVE OVERTHROW TRADITIONAL SIEVE & RIDDLE MAKER
On the bank of the River Parrett in Langport sits an old building called Great Western House AKA Shakespear Glass Buiding.
Inside you will find various craftspeople working who are known as The Langport Creative Collective.
After my shoot earlier in the year for Numatic (see blog post) I was asked to capture another people-based brief for the company.
The brief this time was for a new brochure and other promotional material for their Service Care Package involving two models.
Jonathan Hodgson combines his skills not only as a great artist but applies these talents to creating functional and custom arrows and some of which are art pieces.
His custom-made arrows are created to suit the archer’s bow, draw length and draw weight in lbs, and the type of archery they do, and personal preferences for colours and styles, etc.
His art arrows are built with Form in mind more than Function.

At the end of May, I received an email from BBC Radio Somerset‘s Trish Campbell requesting an interview.
She was interested in chatting on her Bank Holiday Monday show with me about my work especially how it was affected during the lockdown and my Life In A Somerset Landscape Project.
Back in February, I was approached by the marketing team at Numatic International who you probably know for their famous Henry Vacuum Cleaner brand.
They had the opportunity to showcase one of their commercial products on location in an Mc Donalds restaurant which was closed to the public during the Covid lockdown.
