Zeus the Tortoise has his Picture taken at PicturesbyRob.co.uk

Yorkshire Portrait Photographer Rob Cook FBIPP FMPA QEP, quite often photographs the odd pet as part of a family portrait, but normally they tend to be of the furry variety!

When Zeus the Tortoise came along on a recent sitting he surprised Rob by moving faster than some of the more conventional animals he photographs.

Zeus who has a life expectancy of over a hundred years might be one of Robs only customers who'll be able to verify the claims of his suppliers that the Prints will last over a hundred years.

Before Professional Wedding and Portrait Photography



This past week I went back to my roots photographic roots. Many many years ago before I started shooting wedding and portrait photography professionally, I used to photograph various forms of motorsport. Starting at local Banger Racing tracks, where I used to sell pictures back to the drivers and to fanzine magazines, this led to photographing drag racing meetings across Europe and America for various car magazines.

Its not very often that that I have a spare weekend to go racing, but I can tell I've been to a drag strip as my ears are ringing again!

Down on the farm




We Photograph Weddings all over York, Leeds and Harrogate at some of the top venues in Yorkshire. Every so often we get to shoot a wedding in a slightly unusual setting. Farmer’s daughter Lucy knew exactly where she wanted to get married, at home on the farm. A large barn was fitted with a marquee inside which added to the relaxed feel of the day.

The unique setting gave us some really nice and unusual settings to shoot the pictures

Always looking for a different angle



Sometimes when photographing weddings you just have to do what it takes to get the pictures you want. To get this shot I had to take to the air, in the basket of a forklift truck!

York Photographer Rob Cook Appears on the Secret Millionaire!

Unfortunately he wasn't the millionaire dishing out the cash, but one of his pictures did feature briefly in the background of several shots. The picture of a computer mouse was on poster in the background in the office of one the managers in the show.

Rob Said "It's amazing where my work keeps turning up, having featured in a TV show it also opens up a secondary rights claim on that image. However the fee is not likely to get me on the next show as the star, unless that £1 wins the lottery!"
