Stonecot
Studios was established in 1982 at Stonecot Hill in Sutton. The studio
is situated at Stonecot Hill on the outskirts of Sutton, between Morden
and North Cheam.
The current owner and photographer, Colin Smith has been based at
the studio since 1993. Colin became interested in photography from
a young age back in the mid eighties but an earlier photograph of
Colin shown here would suggest it started before then!
Colin was in the first year of the new GCSE in 1987 and one of
the new subjects on offer was Photography, which of course he took
and sailed through. That was followed with an A level and then a
BTEC National Certificate, all completed with top grades. During
the BTEC course Colin also worked in a photographic shop gaining
essential retail experience, as well as hands on familiarity with
all kinds of cameras and equipment. Of course this was before digital
cameras so he became an expert in removing jammed films and replacing
batteries to the delight of customers who assumed the camera was
broken!
From
1993 to the present day Colin has been a full time professional photographer
and became qualified as a Master Photographer in 1995. He specialises
in wedding and portrait photography and has followed the evolution
of styles in those years. From traditional posed shots that were so
familiar to everyone from the very beginning of photography to the
more relaxed informal styles of today.
The Portrait session lasts up to a full hour to allow plenty of
time to arrive, settle in and have a good selection of different
poses. The portraits can be in a style that suits you. You also
have the choice of natural Colour or artistic Black and White.
Colin Smith has experience in photographing families, children,
babies, models and pets. Because Colin’s easygoing manner
helps you feel more relaxed in the studio and because equipment
and props are kept to a minimum children generally find the experience
enjoyable rather than intimidating.
