17th October 202017th October 2020Craig RogersLeave a comment

Back for 2021 by demand, my 13-month (Jan-Jan) Wall Calendars.

This year’s calendars were very popular and I therefore decided to create a new one for 2021. The theme is “Naturally Algarve” and features 13 of my favourite photographs (not featured in last years!) that you will instantly associate with this amazing region of Portugal. The calendar features 13 months (January to January) with a different photo for each month. This year, I have added some extra features. There are detailed descriptions of each of the 13 photographs and also some fun facts too.

Starting this Saturday (19th September 2020) my new exhibition is running at “The Bungalow” at the Carvoeiro Tennis Club. There is a selection of my work, including limited edition acrylics on display and of course are available to purchase.

The opening coincides with the open day at the Bungalow which is a therapy and beauty centre with various services available such as acupunture, massage and beauty. I will be at the open day so please come along from 11am onwards to say hello.

If you can’t make Saturday, the exhibition will run for at least the next two months, so plenty of time to take a look. Don’t rely on my mobile phone shots below, please come and look for yourself.

14th September 202014th September 2020Craig RogersLeave a comment

Due to the popularity last year, I am again creating a Wall Calendar for 2021 and it is now available for pre-order.

This years calendar is titled “Naturally Algarve” and features 13 of my favourite photographs (not featured in last years!) that you will instantly associate with this amazing region of Portugal. The calendar features 13 months (January to January) with a different photo for each month. This year, I have added some extra features. There are detailed descriptions of each of the 13 photographs and also some fun facts too.

Each page is A4-sized and features a spiral binder with wall hook. To cut down on wasted paper it is printed back-to-back. The price is just €12 and shipping is available to all of the EU and the UK, pickup is also available. I expect them to arrive before the end of September and numbers are limited, so would advise purchasing sooner rather than later.

ORDER YOUR CALENDAR HERE!

There are sunsets, seascapes, birds, insects all in amazing quality print. As with last year, they have been designed so that you are able to cut out and keep the photographs and of course large prints are also available in the Web Shop.

Here is a video preview of all the pages!

Recent Private Commission – A Huge Canvas Landscape

30th August 202030th August 2020Craig RogersLeave a comment

It’s always great to see my work in print and nothing comes better than seeing this Private Commission I have just completed on a huge canvas hanging in my clients living room.

This view in the Lower Alentejo is a favourite of my client and I was commissioned to photograph this view and deliver it printed on a canvas to fill an empty space on her wall. After visiting the property to view the space it was decided that a huge canvas of 180cmx120cm would be perfect. The photograph was taken before the hot summer turned everything brown meaning this late spring view can now be viewed at anytime of the year.

If you have a favourite view you’d like me to capture and deliver in any sized print (or even a digital copy) then please get in touch to discuss the options.

Today is World Lion Day, a day in recognition of all the amazing conservation work carried out worldwide to protect these amazing big cats.

More information on this great day can be found at www.worldlionday.com.

To celebrate, here is a fresh edit of a Lioness I was lucky enough to get up close and personal with in the amazing early South African sun of Kruger National Park. If you look close you can see some fresh battle action. One day I hope to return to the amazing Kruger National Park it is simply one of the best places on the planet.

Short Film : Depois das Chamas (After the Fires)

13th July 202013th July 2020Craig RogersLeave a comment

As you are probably aware, we had a large wild wire start very close to the Quinta one week ago (Blog Posts : Day 1 & Day 2). One week on and all that remains (apart from the odd smouldering areas) is a totally devastated area.

Although a large fire, this fire is not on the same scale as some previous fires (you may remember my video Consequência from 2018), however, having it so close to your home really enforces the reality of how serious these fires can get.

I have made a short film to bring you the scenes of the devastation these fires cause. Although this area will recover in time, the many Cork Oaks that have been destroyed can not be replaced in for a generation. It is not until you view the size of the area from above that you realise just how quickly an area can be destroyed and when I first saw these scenes it really made it a reality on how lucky we were to have the wind moving this in the opposite direction to the house.

I have also taken the opportunity to raise some awareness for the fantastic voluntary work the “Assoçiação para Alerta de Incêndio Florestal” that Debby Burton and her team (of which I am proud to be a committee member) carry out to support both the local community and the amazing Bombeiros (firefighters). Please visit the Assoçiação para Alerta de Incêndio Florestal Website for more information and of course, donations are always welcome.

There is some information about some of the scenes below the film. Just for your info, the film does start silent until the title screen.
