    • Official Photographer for the Thomas Hardy Society Bi-Annual International Conference (August)

    Reference:

    “Over the last year Freddie Beaver has provided valuable photographic work for The Thomas Hardy Society.  He was the official photographer for the society’s week-long conference in 2024. Over that time he photographed a range of situations and settings including outside events, in the conference hall and social gatherings. At all times he was friendly, discreet and professional and the resulting images were of high quality, capturing the atmosphere of events beautifully.  In addition Freddie created some images of a collection of treasured materials and books associated with Thomas Hardy (The Fraiser Pakes Collection) and also some archiving work being carried out at The Dorset Museum on behalf of the society. These images are now an important resource for the society to illustrate our publications and advertise our Hardy related events as well as a record of our work.  I thoroughly recommend Freddie Beaver to carry out photographic work.”

    “Freddie assisted me on a photoshoot, which included various locations and light conditions. He was such an asset. He was keen to help in any way he could. This included moving props, setting up lighting and discussing ideas with me about composition and lighting.”

    “I was very impressed by his interaction with the clients and models. He chatted to the models and helped them to relax, which made my job as the photographer much easier. He was very  professional in his conduct. I highly recommend him.”
