This was a Bar Mitzvar for Oliver Goldstein. I hadn't covered a Bar Mitzvah before so didn't quite know what to expect and was a little nervous as his father was a good friend of a work colleague. I had no need to worry as they treated me very well and trusted me to tell story of the night through my pictures. There were so many character and the Father and Oliver was the biggest.
I've been working in the film industry for 10 years now. First film was, 'The Mummy', back in 1998. Then onto 'Gladiator'. My full list is on www.imdb.com. I consider myself very lucky with the projects I've been involved in and the people I've worked with. As a kid watching the credits roll up on some of my favourite films I never thought I would one day have my name up there too. It has been an incredible journey so far and can't wait to share it with my daughter. Okay, that's a short history.
I am still in the film industry but also starting my own photography company. My collection varies from 2 times World Champion Boxers, to Baby Elephants in Sri Lanka. I also do Wedding Photography both reportage and traditional. If you are interested in hiring me please e-mail me for introduction, ideas and prices. burgess.ch1@gmail.com
