TESTIMONIALS

BRITTEB BORDER COLLIES
“I rang Ruth after seeing her details in Derbyshire Life, and our Local Paper, to ask about the possibility of photographing my collies. I wanted some action shots, in addition to the normal poses, which is not easy with the speed of the collies. An appointment was made, and Ruth arrived at the time arranged. Ruth was very patient, and nothing was too much trouble. We got the results and the beautiful photographs I wanted. Some were done collage style, on a large canvas. This was a gift for my husband. In our opinion, it is spectacular. I can recommend Ruth and Rural Pictures 100%. So much so, I will be back for more in the future.”
Restoration work
”I recently rediscovered two old photographs of our farmhouse, one, especially in poor condition. It seemed a real shame to lose these old images so asked Ruth if it was possible to either copy and enlarge or any chance of restoring the pictures to secure for future generations.
The results were superb, so pleased. My poorly photo showed no evidence of the damage it had had.
We can now proudly display 2 lovely enlarged black and white well-framed photographs.
Rural Pictures is highly recommended”.
The Sheep Show
“We would very much like to recommend Ruth Downing at Rural Pictures for the service and quality of her work. The photographs she took are fantastic. Ruth has the ability to catch those difficult action shots. Our business is The Sheep Show which is a fun, filled, action-packed show all about sheep and shearing as you can imagine photographing animals especially sheep is not an easy one! Ruth took some great shots at Chatsworth international Horse trials this year and we hope very much to work with her again soon sometime”. “Great service and value for money.”
Thank you Ruth.
Derbyshire County Show
We have used Rural Photography for many years as photographers both for our annual County Show and for our main social event. On all occasions, Ruth and her team couldn’t have been more helpful. Always willing to do as asked regarding the photoshoots and full of ideas for new angles. Ruth has always provided an excellent service whether for our own use as promotional material or for articles in the local glossies.

I regularly commission Ruth Downing of Rural Pictures Photography and would have no hesitation in recommending her work. Each shoot, sometimes three or more per month, has been completed efficiently and client feedback always 100 per cent positive.

“I have had the good luck to find a photographer that is so excited about her work and enthusiastic that everything is done correctly, that I shall use no – one else in the future.

Ruth Downing, of the above business came to take photographs of my litter of 6 puppies. They were 6 weeks old, and very boisterous, and I really wondered if we would get any good shots out of it, as we were looking for real “picture box” poses with them all in the picture. However, Ruth didn’t doubt it for one minute, and spent time and effort on getting all the final details together, even to bringing her own “props” in case mine weren’t sufficient. We moved around, and the atmosphere was very congenial, as Ruth is a lovely person to be around, and put us all at ease – my job was to supply the coffee and Ruth was making sure the job was excellent. The result was pictures of my litter that I am so proud of, and will always remember the fun we had doing the portfolio. I know its not the first consideration when you want something special, but I have to say Ruth, your prices are really reasonable too !!”

“Ruth Downing has taken some of the most eye-catching shots on farm. She takes a brief on board, captures the message on the shot, and progresses each job in a fuss-free way, delivering reliably on time. And she will work to accommodate those jobs at short notice if possible”.
Christening
"I used Ruth for my little boy's christening. She was brilliant and so patient with my little boy as he was only 5months old and she got amazing photos of him on his special day and of our friends and family. Thanks again Ruth for capturing these special moments."
