2011 in review

Well, it’s New Years Eve and there is probably a no more opportune time to reflect on the past 12 months than today. And wow, what a year it’s been. pSquared was started at the end of 2010 and we covered a total of 2 events that year. In 2011 we covered 10 and we think that’s pretty good going.

Our year started off with a personal shoot for a lovely couple who were celebrating their anniversary. When they first met, they would take long romantic walks around the centre of Guildford and wanted to re-enact these early times and capture them for posterity.

We had a great time running around Guildford that day and our clients were blown away with the results.

February brought us an introduction to the lovely people at Harwoods Group. Through a mutual friend, we were invited along to cover their Jaguar Ride & Drive day.

It was a long day and, although we were both feeling the pressure, our results clearly impressed as we were invited to photograph the launch of the Aston Martin Cygnet at Harwoods Aston Martin in Chichester. It was a hectic few hours and the showroom was busy with people coming to see the cars.

In May we were invited to photograph 60 school students aged 11 - 13 at University of Surrey taking part in the Salters' Festival of Chemistry. The day involved three activities, the "Salters' Challenge", a "University Challenge" and a chemistry magic show and prize giving.

Also in May, Harwoods Group held Land Rover Experience event at the Coombelands Stables in Pullborough. We had an amazing time driving round the off road course on a glorious day in the Sussex countryside.

July brought probably our busiest month of the year. Another Ride & Drive day for Harwoods Audi, a publicity photo call for the Guildford Sinfonia, an amazing day at the Gold Cup Polo hospitality suite and our very own inaugural photowalk along the South Bank.

Finally, we rounded the year off with a celebration. Petersfield Young Farmers celebrated their 75th anniversary and we were flattered to be asked to cover the whole evening from the first guests arriving until the rowdy and debauched survivors left. As the Young Farmers would say… “a good night was had by all”!

All in all, it’s been quite a year for us. We’ve gained clients and we’ve made friends. But best of all, we’ve been taking photos and you can’t really ask for more than that.
