Hi Hugh

This photograph is a masterpiece.

You should do a very limited editon at a very large size and flog it to the banks that feature in it

Hi Hugh,

Here’s what I did with the illustration you photographed so well. If you’d like a larger version, in any format, please ask.

Will settle your (very reasonable) bill on the morrow.

See you again,

Dear Hugh,

Happy new year!

Thank you for doing such a lovely job with the Red Shoes print. I am very happy with how it came out.

About another painting

It's probably best you re-shoot the painting, so that would need to be added to the quote(s).
I have a professionally-shot TIF and JPG, but I know you could do a much better job, and I imagine you'd be happier working from your own shots (is "shots" the correct lingo?)

Dear Hugh Gilbert
My late husband Ivor Abrahams, whom you photographed in the past for the Royal Academy, died in January this year.
They used one of your great photographs of Ivor in his London studio for their website.
 It really is such a great picture.  I need similar studio shots for a sculpture show at the Mayor Gallery in January 2016

Many thanks

Dear All

You've not all met, but thanks to your various pieces of amazing help today we have just published the Chelsea Arts Club 'Present to the Future' brochure and animation. Thank you all so much for your kindness and patience, particularly in the last fraught three days!

Very particular thanks to Dan (and Rob and Joe) for the amazing animation and to Simon for the truly wonderful brochure; and a special shout out to Hugh, Stephen and Sarah who all rode to the rescue in various ways in the last 12 hours.

I'll be in touch with Rob and Simon again on Monday re a few tiny tweaks (and printing in Simon's case) but in the meantime, as I say, a thousand thanks to you all.

All very best

Geoffrey

Things are going swimmingly here in san Fran...I will send you an ad they are putting in a local mag...the Americans are so professional and the gallery guys fun to work with...

They have re-named the show by my subtitle for Hanging Out (An Affectionate Archive). I think it works really well and carries a bit more 'weight' in print...

Are you meeting up with Hannah this Thursday? If not, can we come and see you next Thursday? I will have another print order for you now that I have seen what SFAE thinks will sell.

We can also talk about the archive then....let me know how your schedule is please...

Everyone LOVES your prints of M and R with the red balloons, Mick with sunglasses, Neil in the car, and Bonnie!

Dear Hugh

The pictures are quite amazing,I didn't know such photography was possible! I'm sure my Polish niece will be restored when she finally receives copies and of course other family members in (Poland (and France) may decide they too want copies.

It's also very good that we now have the possibility of reproducing the other pictures, if Adam and James wish to do so. I have had great pleasure looking at the photos of them-much more accessible!

My caption with tribute to you!!

The lighter image on the right was originally a Polaroid of Mick that i took in 1976, but my printer, Hugh Gilbert, made a double image as a homage to Robert Mapplethorpe.
I liked it so much that I kept it this way. It's fun to play around with images sometimes. Mick took a Polaroid of me at the same time.

Dear Hugh/Phil,
 
I would like to take a moment to thank you for taking the time to speak at this year’s conference.  I know that I am not alone when I say that your presentation a real highlight of the day.  Seeing new technology, show us things in new ways is, after all, what photography strives for. The opportunity to view visually stunning panoramas was also greatly received.

Thank you for supporting the Association, and I hope to see you at further AHFAP Conferences and events.

Being at the vanguard of this technology, Hugh Gilbert and Phil Conrad have acquired invaluable experience in utilising this resource in the most cost effective and efficient manner. The access, mobility and highest quality photography provides an invaluable reference that hitherto has not been possible.
 
Moreover, this can be made available to Clients and provide an incredible database for future referencing.
 
For major works, the ability to use such reference documentation avoids ambiguity and provides infinitely superior information for all manner of operation including tendering for major operations. 
 
Hugh and Phil are pre-eminent in this field. Coupled with the ability to secure swift approvals (an OSC) in this tightly ever regulated arena, they are now arguably one of the leading firms in this field.

Yes Hugh that looks pretty good on my screen  and very true to colour as well. Well done. Sorry about making a meal of it. However I have learnt about the neutral grey and outside  lighting. I think the kodak colour patch I used was  somewhat faded and old so yanking it was probably the right thing to do.

Perfect job done thanks  very much again. I owe you a drink !

No one could quite believe the quality of the print they got on Sunday, after chapel at Knole. They look so good, and taking the background colour across the border makes a lot of difference. And all beautifully trimmed, and interleaved, and lovely! Thank you very much. I have another £100 for you: I hope we will see you soon.

First print just arrived, it looks perfect. Great quality, identical to the first edition. 
Thanks for doing it so promptly.

It's ferier time so we went to a bullfight last night. Extraordinary. Public torment, torture and execution of 6 bulls. I'm still very conflicted about that but I couldn't take my eyes off the action. I wish I had a better camera sometimes.

See you soon…

Dear Hugh,
 
I'm so pleased with the prints, especially those that took some time to get colour-right, but now they are spot on.
 
Regarding the 'Earth from Space' one, done from old colour tranny, looking at other 'red border' ones, I think the white bloom is actually light reflection on the glaze.  So I'd be grateful if you would do two more large ones, size height 35cm, with the red cleaned up somewhat.
 
I shall be at the club tonight around 6-7.30 and again Sunday evening, possibly on Saturday too (can't keep me away!). Or could pop round to your studio, whatever suits you.
 
Again many thanks for superb prints!

If you get a moment I would love a photo of the robot arms folding a leaf and a portrait of our team, when you can.
Please let me know if I am to go ahead and pass 'photographs by Hugh Gilbert of RoboFold’ to: press online, print and publications.
Should I cc you on these occasions or should I just notify you?
