Latest Grand Designs Shoot April Issue. 2022 By Matt Cant
I was recently commissioned by ISG construction to photograph the architecture at the state of the art Bridgend based STEAM Academy which is an exciting new building to accommodate teaching, learning and support facilities for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics.
The Academy is a flagship for showcasing 21st century teaching in the automotive Industry bringing economic and cultural growth to the Bridgend County Borough area. This is in line with a bid to develop further employment and training opportunities in the region, in keeping with Welsh Government’s strategic priorities.
Situated at the Pencoed Campus in Bridgend the Academy has parking for students and staff, as well as an external service yard adjacent to the new Engineering workshops.
The Vale of Glamorgan Local Authority has launched its new website @visitthevale www.visitthevale.com
We’re thrilled to have shot many of the new home pages and destination hero shots for the Authority. Big thanks to the team Tanya Lynch Production and Stewart MacKellar Assitant Photographer VisitBritain VisitWales #tourismindustry #visitwales #findyourepic
The shoot commenced in September of 2020 and is ongoing due to the pandemic. We start production shooting activities at Penarth Pier with Walkers, SUP stand up paddle boarders and Litter pickers #keepwalestidy around the coast of Penarth in Summer 2021.
Professional commercial photography of high end Student accommodation.
In these challenging times and during another lockdown. It’s such a highlight and very exciting to be featured in the November issue of Grand Designs Magazine 2020. This house is a tech marvel with the very latest intergrated technology and smart controls installed in every room. Although you would never know it as the owners didn’t want any tech to be visable.
The shoot took place in Cobham, Surrey back in February then the pandemic hit and we had an extended break where no GD magazine was printed until September of 2020.
The feature is the story of how the Kings renovated their dilapidated 1930’s property.
