GDMK Images June 2015 Update – new products and win a 20″ x 16″ canvas print
Hi everybody, May and June have been extremely busy.
The biggest event was the opening of my retail outlet in Hinckley courtesy of Alizzins Cave. At last you have a chance to see the quality of my artwork in person.
Due to all the positive happenings and the approach of summer I have launched a number of offers – more details below or go straight to GDMK Images offers
In fact, I am over the moon as another outlet has seen my work and has offered wall space for me to display and sell my work. Discussions are still ongoing but I hope to make an announcement soon.
Please come and visit Alizzins Cave at No 10 Rugby Road in Hinckley and say hi![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid gap=”3″ item=”masonryMedia_BorderedScale” grid_id=”vc_gid:1551114234530-8caa108e-18cb-10″ include=”1651,1650,1649″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Alizzins Cave
Alizzins Cave is a great little shop run by a friendly team of co-owners, Liz and Ali. The shop is a delight and refreshing in that it is not full of tat as many pre-loved shops can be.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=”3″ gap=”3″ item=”masonryMedia_ScaleWithContentBlock” grid_id=”vc_gid:1551114234535-af5e4880-cc20-9″ include=”1430,1429,1423,1422″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Stock Photography
My stock photography sales are going well. Due to the background work with my shop outlet, I haven’t added anything new in the last three weeks. I have around 250 new images to upload over the next few weeks.
As with my existing portfolio, these images are not typical staged stock photography scenes. My work is ideal for editorial work and features real-life imagery. All people scenes are genuine candids in real world settings. If you need stock photography that doesn’t look like stock photography then head over to my newly added stock images or choose from my popular categories below.[/vc_column_text][mpc_vc_grid id=”819″ columns=”5″][vc_column_text]
Picfair Stock Photography
I am adding a selection of my stock photography to Picfair. Picfair offers a simpler and more straightforward license which may appeal to a different market segment than my Alamy collection.
My intention is for these stock photography outlets to complement each other and make the images available to more people. Each outlet has differing licensing options which give you, the customer, more options.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Wall Art
There have been many new additions to the Wall Art picture collection. I am also in the process of adding another new wall art product. I have a new canvas print product that has a quality look and feel but is much easier on your pocket than the traditional canvas prints I offer.
This product will be perfect for those who want a beautiful, quality piece of art but cannot justify the higher prices most canvas prints demand.
The new canvasses will be released early July in the shop at Alizzins Cave.[/vc_column_text][vc_media_grid element_width=”3″ gap=”3″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1551114234544-499a0424-a486-2″ include=”1518,1517,1516,1514″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
I have received some feedback regarding the buying process. In light of this feedback, I am trialling a new host that provides a number of changes to both the presentation of, and buying of, wall art.
At the end of the day its all about making your wall art purchase process as smooth as possible.
Keep checking back and let me know your thoughts on the new features and process.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Market Bosworth Show Sun 5th July 2015
I will be attending the Market Bosworth Show on Sunday July 5th. Come and see a selection of my artwork that you can purchase on the day. If you are going to the show please come along and say Hi!
My full range will be available to view and order on the day – a small deposit will secure your order.
I will have the new Canvas products on display so you will be amongst the first to see the great quality and value these Canvas Prints provide.
We look forward to seeing you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row toc_id=”gdmkimagesoffers” el_id=”gdmkimagesoffers”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Share GDMK Images June news update with your friends and colleagues …. thanks!
I am pleased to announce that I now have a gallery and retail outlet in Hinckley. Courtesy of my very good friends at Alizzins Cave, a little shop with a big heart, you can now buy and view a selection of my ready to hang art work at 10 Rugby Road in Hinckley, Leicestershire.
Alizzins Cave is a great outlet for my art work. The shop is full of wonderful items of preloved goods ranging from shabby chic furniture through to kitchenware, househould goods and jewellery. Ali and Liz work in co-ordination with a local funding organisation. Each month the funding organisation recommends a local organisation who needs just a bit of help towards a specific goal. Alizzins Cave feature this organisation and donate an amount of their takings to this cause.
I cant thank Liz and Ali enough for this opportunity.
I will be in the shop at varying times most days so please drop in and say hello.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=”6″ gap=”3″ filter_size=”md” include=”1652,1651,1650,1649″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1450790671698-b30f39f5-1689-9″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A small view of the GDMK Images wall art on show inside Alizzins Cave on Rugby Road in Hinckley.

April has been busy with quite a lot happening behind the scenes.
March ended with a visit to the Photography Show at Birminghams NEC. As usual there was a lot to see and do. I took the opportunity to look first hand at some new wall art products. As a result there will be some new additions to the catalogue for mounting images upon.
I was able to finally buy a Nikon D7200. The camera is pretty impressive and my initial reaction is positive. The D7200 feels a lot smaller in the hand than I expected. My only issue so far, is that Lightroom and Camera RAW still don’t support the new NEFs. I guess this is fair enough as all new releases take a while to get supported by 3rd party products. I am hoping when Lightroom 6 gets released (potentially this week) the NEF files will have support.
I have been looking at the first thousand or so images with Nikons View NX-I and I am impressed with the detail and resolution. I havent processed any so far as I have a structured Lightroom workflow and dont want to mess up the system – however tempted I am to get to grips with them!
Unfortunately I couldnt get the Sigma 150-600S lens at the Photography Show as planned. Following the show I did hire one for a week so I could get a sample of what the lens could do coupled to the D7200. All I can say is – WOW, what a combination!
As soon as supplies pick up I will be ordering one.
I am still reviewing and revising old blog posts as mentioned last month. Parts 2 & 3 of my Aviation Photography Techniques guide have been posted with part 4 coming over the next couple of weeks.
Both the stock photo and wall art photo portfolios are expanding with new and varied content. The new stock photography additions focus on the ongoing construction of ‘The Crescent’ shopping centre in Hinckley. There is also a good number of additions from a visit to Newton Abbot and Exeter.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=”3″ gap=”3″ item=”mediaGrid_SimpleOverlay” filter_size=”md” include=”1088,1087,1086,1085″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1450788618404-a9010b8a-dfcb-9″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Need Wall Art ideas?
Below are examples of the products you can mount your chosen picture onto. There are many wall art products for mounting pictures from my portfolio including –
Canvas

Wood Blocks
Framed Canvas
Metal
As mentioned earlier, I will be adding some new products over the coming weeks. In the meantime have a look at my current wall art product range.[/vc_column_text][vc_media_grid element_width=”2″ gap=”1″ filter_size=”md” include=”1057,1056,1055,1054,955,956″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1450788618698-6fce6206-e156-4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Going forward you can expect to see part 4 of my Aviation Photography Techniques series. I have two new location reports from my old blog that are being updated to reflect recent changes.
Additionally I will be visiting Budapest and Prague in the next couple of weeks. I will be adding trip reports of both these cities when I get back.
After my return I will be posting my experiences of using the new Nikon D7200 and a post about my weeks hire of the Sigma 150-600 S lens.
Thanks for taking the time to read this update and looking at my portfolio updates. Please feel free to leave any comments about the site layout and fuctionality, portfolios or anything else that comes to mind.

For those not familiar with my websites or blogs, I am a UK based photographer and primarily shoot a mixture of Urban, Transport and Editorial style scenes.
I have two main portfolios, one featuring editorial style stock photography, which is available to buy via Alamy and a wider portfolio of photographic work available to buy as wall art and picture gifts.
Previously my portfolios and general internet presence was spread over several different hosts and providers. The overhaul and new look for the GDMK Images web presence bring my Stock and Wall Art portfolios together. The intention of these changes is to make it easier for customers to find the images they want, in the format they want, all from one central hub.
Much of the imagery is available in both portfolios and, therefore, available as both Commercial Stock imagery and mounted onto wall art products and gifts.
I have chosen to go with hosted services for my portfolios as I want to free as much time as possible to undertake the most important aspect of being a photographer – taking photos.
Alamy has repeatedly demonstrated they are extremely competent in managing both client and photographers needs so I am more than happy to let them manage my stock portfolio.
All my wall art products are produced by either One Vision Imaging or Loxley Colour.
Both portfolios are extensively keyworded so searching for pictures is very straightforward.
You will also find the GDMK Images Blog on these pages. My blog will feature a mix of photography techniques, news and location reports.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you
