We are Peter & Love Mae Parker based in Bedford, England.

We really enjoy capturing "moments in time" in digital images that bring pleasure to those who appear in them, their family, friends and all who see them. This moment in time could be as brief as 1/8000th of a second – fast enough to capture a fraction of the existence of countless drops of water as they fly through the air like diamonds before disappearing back into the thundering white water they were thrown from. Alternatively it could be 64,000 times slower - at 8 seconds – slow enough to capture the entire life of a firework, radiant in the night sky, from its detonation, throughout its spectacular display to a fading ember and its demise. All of this is seen by the eye, as it happens, but we are unable to recall it in such incredible detail and clarity as can be achieved with the awesome Canon technology and equipment that we use.

We have two objectives:-

To enjoy our photography!

To bring others enjoyment in the form of the high quality images produced.

In fact, the first is wholly dependent upon the second! What pleasure would a chef have if his perfectly prepared meal were not tasted by anyone? The pleasure of preparing the dish is incomplete unless enjoyed also by somebody else and we feel the same way about our visual “dishes”. So welcome to our “feast for the eyes” where you can eat and be merry because here your eyes can be much bigger than your belly yet you will always have room for more!

Many people do not have the equipment to take high quality images and others, such as athletes, competitors and performers, wish to be featured in them but do not have anyone present to take them. It is, therefore, our pleasure to make high quality images available to everyone who is unable to obtain them for whatever reason.

Please note that we enjoy our photography not as a business but, instead, as a self-funding hobby. Accordingly, rather than a fee, we ask only for a small donation towards our photographic equipment fund plus postage costs when you ask us to send you a CD with any of our images on.

We shoot at sporting events, community events, group events, festivals, shows etc so have a look through our various categories and galleries and see what we have been doing and where we have been. If you wish to obtain any of the images, please look in each gallery for the specific details of how you can do this. If you do not find them within the gallery that you are interested in, please email us at info@clevercaptures.com with your requirements. Most of the categories and galleries are for public viewing but some are private requiring password access. These tend to be personal images of family gatherings or other private functions where the images would not be available to anyone other than those featured.

Please note we only supply digital images on a CD and we do not offer printing. However, if you require prints, with our CD you can attend Boots, Jessops or similar printers and obtain awesome A3 or even poster size prints! All images supplied will be much larger and much better quality than those seen here online and without any watermarking. Please take a look in our Sample Gallery to see some images without watermarking that are a larger size. These are still not full size (because uploading and downloading them would take forever!) but you will get a better idea of what you can expect on a CD.

Whatever your reason for viewing our images, we hope you like them! Enjoy!
