Photographic commissions
Since establishing Chromasia in 2005 we have undertaken a broad range of commercial and private commissions and have worked with numerous clients including companies, non-profit organisations, publishers, governmental agencies, the Arts Council (England) and a number of individuals (for both private projects and their weddings). In each case our primary aim has been to match our creative vision, in terms of both the style and content of our photography, to the project and client’s requirements. We use state-of-the-art equipment to produce our images, including Canon 1Ds Mark II and 5D bodies, a wide range of ‘L’ series lenses, and a variety of RAW processors and image editing packages.
If you like our work, and would like to commission us for one of your own projects, either in the UK or further afield, please get in touch as follows:
telephone • +44(0)7800 560659 (David J. Nightingale)
telephone • +44(0)7800 560712 (Libby Nightingale)
For most of the following examples you can click the thumbnail images: in some cases this will take you to the website on which the image has been used, in others it will link to a larger version on chromasia.

Henrietta’s elephants (private commission, September 2006)
These two small elephants travelled around with me for about six months. They belong to Henrietta, who commissioned me to produce a shot of them – on location – as a gift for her friend's first wedding anniversary. They were used originally as the table decorations for the wedding, so a photograph of them one year on seemed quite fitting.
Some alternative shots of the elephants can be seen here.
Blackpool Tourism: TVR Back Home meetup (July 2006)
TVR’s are built in Blackpool and in July 2006 around four hundred of them, including the sole remaining Cerbera Speed 12, returned to Blackpool for the TVR Back Home meetup. I was commissioned to photograph the day's events.

In March 2006 Mark Sheldon and I were approached by Tonic Design to take part in a project to promote Sony’s Cyber-shot cameras. We were given a camera and a week to take a mimimum of 20 great shots.
The results can be seen in my T-Series gallery on chromasia.
