As outdoor photographers we strive to be creative whilst out in the filed, creating work that we are happy to share to hopefully inspire & encourage others, sharing our experience and story telling via a still frame. We plan locations & travel details, we prepare our camera bags, clean our kit and charge up the batteries in readiness for a few hours of being out in nature, enjoying the peace & tranquility and the anticipation of what we may experience. We spend hundreds if not thousands of pounds on camera equipment which we take care of and look after. Our creativity and enjoyment of the experience is paramount, its why we do what we do. Quite often we’re heading out early in the morning pre sunrise or later in the day after the sun has set to experience the magic of golden hour, blue hour or maybe astro photography. We head out during adverse weather when others choose to stay warm at home. We do this for the love of photography….

Along with planning, preparing and taking care of our camera equipment is also the need to take care of ourselves. Good walking boots and outdoor clothing, appropriate to the conditions we head out in are vital to our experience. We’ve all been in a similar situation where we’ve headed out and the conditions are fantastic, the light is just right and we’re enjoying the the experience in it’s entirety except for one thing…. we’re cold.

Before discovering Vallerret Photography Gloves i tried numerous pairs of gloves in an attempt to stay warm. For me there is nothing worse than feeling lost deep in the photography only to be pulled back from my calm state of mind by the biting cold burning at my hands. There were countless occasions where we cut a photography outing short due to the fact that I’d lost the ability to control my camera, the painful burn no longer bearable and therefore the experience not one that was enjoyable.

WHY WE CHOSE THE TINDEN PHOTOGRPAHY GLOVE

A great pair of gloves is as important as the right pair of walking boots, if the boots are too big, too small, not waterproof etc. it could be enough for you to consider not heading out. That’s why after using Vallerret’s Markhof pair of gloves for around five or six years we both decided to invest in a pair of Deep Winter Tinden Photography Gloves to brave the winter conditions here in the Outer Hebrides.

The Tinden glove is equipped with Flip-Tech fingertips, allowing you to expose your thumb and index fingers with ease. This feature gives you the freedom to adjust camera settings, handle small accessories, and use your phone without the need to take off the entire glove. The Tinden is equipped with exceptional Primaloft Gold insulation to keep your hands warm in sub-zero temperatures. The glove also features a luxurious, soft merino wool lining that provides exceptional warmth and comfort. The natural properties of merino wool regulate temperature, keeping your hands cozy in cold conditions while also wicking away moisture. The Tinden features a non-slip grip artwork printed across the fingers to provide superior camera control even in freezing conditions and also comes with a carabiner clip, allowing you to attach your gloves to your camera bag, backpack, or belt loop. Vallerret really have thought about everything, located in the pocket on the back of the hand, is a handy Tripod key which allows you to adjust and secure your tripod with ease, it’s also a great place to add a heat pack for additional extra warmth.

SUPPORTING WOMEN IN PHOTOGRAPHY

We are proud to share with you that we have recently teamed up with Vallerret & will be collaborating with them. Firstly a huge thanks to Darren Moorhouse otherwise known as Ginger Captures | West Yorkshire Based Photographer for putting our names forward to Lukas Riedl, a very talented, lovely guy who is part of the Vallerret family.

On 23rd November 2024 Vallerret released a Blog Post titled 15 inspirational female photographers to watch in 2025, the visual image attached with the blog reads “This is what happens when you support women”

The blog is an interesting & inspiration read, one that highlights the under representation of women within the field of photography & film making. What we find refreshing is that Vallerret as a brand chose to raise a spotlight in celebrating females in photography, sharing the blog via their website, Instagram and Facebook pages brought the female photography community closer. It was fantastic to see so many women sharing the post, connecting with each other and supporting the women featured within the article. Very kindly Vallerret asked if they could also share our recent blog post written in October 2024 which explores some of the barriers women in photography face.
