iStockphoto.com is a massive collection of royalty free images ie you can buy an image under a single commercial license and use them on multiple prints or web views without paying an additional fee. This is a great site for designers who need quality images and illustrations for their projects as well as audio and video files.

Simcoemedia has recently been uploading images to create ‘The Chester Collection‘ – a selection of images from around the beautiful Roman City of Chester in England. The city has a rich mediaeval history including Chester Castle, the city walls and many examples of the black and white architectural style Chester is known. These images range from around £2.00 – £20.00 in price depending upon your size requirements.

Virgin Trains Website Background

Pete Simcoe — Fri, 13 May 2011 08:38:54 +0000

Virgin Trains used an image created by Simcoemedia Design Consultancy in the background of their website home page from May 2011 to October 2011. The image was taken on the meadows next to the River Dee in Chester facing over to the houses that line the riverbank on the road leading to Christleton. It was taken in May 2009 just at the time when the yellow buttercup flowers were particularly bright and trees had fresh green leaves on their branches.

It is great to see an image created by Simcoemedia used prominently on a major UK website and it was only when I came to book some tickets with Virgin Trains to go to the New Designers Exhibition in London in July 2011, that I realised the image had been downloaded from my Chester photography lightbox on iStockphoto.com portfolio and used! What a pleasant surprise.

Cuba Collection at Gesso & Bole Gallery

Gesso & Bole are a picture framing company based in Derby and on 9 September 2010 they are opening their gallery to the public. Simcoemedia has an exhibition otherwise known as the Cuba Collection at the gallery – these high quality prints are on sale.

The images were taken on a one week trip to the island and capture some of the classic architecture, beautiful landscapes and intriguing history in ten different photographs designed to be a colourful montage of hue and texture.

Jim Anderson, Gesso & Bole’s experienced picture frame maker and owner, said this about the photographs:

Here at Gesso & Bole we’re keen to work with artistic talent from the local area as well as further afield. Pete Simcoe’s ‘Cuba Collection’ really caught our eye, and we’re very pleased to be featuring the stunning collection. The opening night promises to be an interesting experience both for us and the contributing artists who have helped make the gallery into the exciting space it is

If you are in the Derby area on 9 September and can make your way to the city centre then the exhibition will be shown at 30 The Strand, Derby, DE1 1BE from 5-8pm
