I had the great pleasure, in association with fellow photographer Chris Hawkes, to photograph the Arsenal FC Ex-Professional & Celebrity v Park Street Primary School Dads charity football match yesterday. The match took place at the London Colney Football club and was a great success. I won’t mention the score line but I will mention how fantastic all the players, organisers and celebrities were on the day.
Many hundreds of photographs were taken during the day and a number of visitors took away prints of the occasion.
From a personal perspective I found the level of fitness shown by the Park Street dads and the celebrities remarkable. As a case in point, here’s Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet chasing down the ball. He didn’t stop all day.

Last week we covered the annual care award ceremony for Gold Care Homes, one of our corporate clients who run a number quality care facilities in the south east of England.
The awards were held at the Bush Hall hotel in Mill Green, Hatfield which was an excellent venue for the ceremony, particularly the dining area which sported a magnificently adorned marquee roof.
There were lots of happy, smiling faces and quite a few award presentations in recognition of the excellent work put in over the year by a number of the carers at Gold Care.
We’ve done quite a bit of work over the past year for Gold Care ranging from interior photography for all of their facilities to event work like this.
We’ve even covered the good work done by their chefs.
We always strive to delivery great imagery and an excellent service to our clients here at MakingImages and it’s always nice when that commitment is recognized by our clients. Last week we were delighted to received a testimonial from MHA, a commercial client that we have worked very closely with over the last six months, delivering imagery for their prestigious property portfolio.
Louise Owen-McGee, MHA’s Creative Services Manager, writes:
“MHA’s position as one of the UK’s leading care providers for older people has been established over 65 years of imaginative commitment and innovation. As an independent charity we are always looking to work with people who have an empathy for our values and an understanding of the aspirations of older people. John Joannides offers both of these qualities, as a specialist care interior photographer. His work is of the highest calibre, evidencing great attention to detail and commitment to delivering work that’s bang on brief every time. His imagery has enabled MHA to better reflect the choice and quality of its services by visually depicting the support, comfort and possibilities that MHA’s accommodation offers.”
MHA have been a delight to work with and their commitment to quality creative imagery and a quality product offering shines through. We’re very grateful to Louise for her kind words.
