I had the opportunity to visit the new gallery last week and Stuart was very gracious with his time, chatting with a complete stranger ! Such a professional set up and very impressive. All the best for the future!
Don't complain, don't complain, you have a beautiful gallery. It's been 25 years since I opened mine, with barely any money, we had to do everything with our hands, floor, walls, ceiling, lights......and without We have no idea (the walls are a disaster), but we are proud of it. One day we will get back to work and try to look like yours. Congratulations
The gallery looks stunning Stuart, some of the very best Lake District pictures for sure. The grey walls work a treat too, wishing you all the very best in your venture, you certainly deserve it. KR Phil
Great to see that the hard work has paid off , gallery looks very professional and welcoming. I'm sure it will be successful, and I hope everything goes well for Jo.
The gallery looks fantastic, I can't wait to see it in person next month. You've created something beautiful in difficult circumstances. I hope you feel very proud!
great to see the new gallery up and running Stuart and to hear your thoughts behind the set up. I think you have utilised the space very effectively and definitely looks like it will offer up a visual treat for anyone who visits
Great video Stuart and good to see you getting back on form. The Gallery looks amazing, really well laid out and the grey colour of the main showroom works really well. Love the sneaky little quiet room for when you might need a break, good idea. I must make time to come and have a proper look, no excuses as I'm not much more than 90 minutes away. Hope things continue to go well with family. Take care and best wishes for much success in the Gallery.
Good to see it done Stuart, it looks very welcoming indeed. Now the silly season is upon you so I hope you are selling plenty. I hope the problems are on the mend..
A wonderful space Stuart, and you've done a fantastic job! I'm next back up your way towards the end of October and for sure I'll pop around and see if you are about. All the best to you and the family
Hi Stuart, you can always tell when something is done right because it looks effortless ... when of course the truth is that a lot of hard graft has gone into it. The gallery looks stylish, fresh and appealing. I wish you every success .. and the benches are a nice touch, as you'll probably find that the average visit length will increase which ought to help converting footfall into sales. The couch in the back room is a good idea as I'm sure in the winter months, there'll be the odd occasion where its hard to get home in 4 foot of snow!
Looks fantastic, Stuart. I'm so sorry to hear the news about your good lady. I hope she's on the best side. We're hoping (no more at this stage) to get up to the Lake District later this year. If we do, we'll definitely stop by and say hello as Keswick is always our preferred destination.
Hey Stuart, I really enjoyed that and can see you're buzzing with excitement too, I hope it goes well and keeps you busy. I will defo be popping in next time I'm that way on, I came in the old place the first weekend you opened too. atb.
I wish you all the best with your gallery and of course the other issues you've mentioned... I love the grey walls! As you say, it focusses the attention more on the images, but I don't think my wife would appreciate me turning up at home with a tin of grey paint🙂 I live out of the country so it's very unlikely I'll be able to "pop in", but I'll certainly check out your calendar.
First off! Well bloody done Stuart. Looks fabulous, everything that you’ve had going on, this is one hell of an achievement. Love the layout and especially the work bench to keep you busy 😁 brilliant bud! Envious indeed. I’ll pop in soon 👍
Lovely video Stuart. I really enjoy these behind the scenes videos. They’re a nice counter-point to your field content. Keep the videos coming and best of luck with the new gallery. I think it’ll be a smash, and I hope to visit some day. Cheers!
Hi Stuart. This is exciting and was the right decision. The grey walls and hanging system compliment each other really well. Having various print sizes is a good idea as there will always be those little areas that need smaller prints. It is a sad reflection of the times we live in to have to need one, but I hope you have rock solid shutters to pull down over shop at night. Will you have a section where the content of the pictures coincides with time of the year, a wall of snow pictures in winter for example? I wish you success with the gallery, and Jo with her health. Sending good vibes from down south.
Thanks Colin - they'll be an element of themed work from time to time (mainly in the smaller room) though to be honest from years of experience as much as photographers like to shoot them, snowy/wintry pictures tend to sell poorly in a commercial environment.
Looking good. A definite improvement and may it draw in more punters. Have you thought about having a flick though catalogue of the images not on the wall? Everyone loves to thumb through a book and it’ll showcase your work as a block.
It looks great and your merchandise looks absolutely great inside it. Our framed artworks, mirrors and prints are displayed on a similar system in the Superstore where I work. It's a very dynamic system, because of the flexibility it affords you. I'm sure you'll be making full use of it, as you have to keep moving around your displays to keep it fresh. People think you've got a whole load of new stuff in, when in actual fact you've just juggled the order it's displayed in. I'm not sure when I may next be heading for the Lake District, but I'll be sure to pop in and say hello whenever I'm in the area.
I really enjoyed the video. Helped to understand some of the business decisions that photo artist have to make to take photography from a hobby to a business.
What a fantastic gallery you have now. The old one was lovely but this one’s a belter. Stunning shots hanging on those walls. I wish you great success in your business Stuart. Off to buy your calendar now 🙂
Now that is a proper gallery, light, spacious and welcoming especially with the bench seats etc. Best of luck with this new Venture Stuart, looking forward to our visit later this year.
Looks fabulous and your photography on the walls looks great. Quite inspiring really. All the best Stuart it's a credit for all your hardwork and talent as a photographer.
Sorry I missed your last video Stuart. Wow what a transformation with the new place, love the layout and flexibility you now have. I’ll definitely pop in if I’m ever in the area. In the meantime best of wishes with the new gallery and thoughts to your partner too. Really delighted for you with the new place 👌
Thank you for the tour, it looks amazing! When I get up to the Lake District and Keswick, it would be great to pop in to say hello and see you printed work. All the best for your new gallery, for you and your family and your wife's health.
Great to see the new gallery Stuart! You must be very excited about the potential. It looks great! I'm curious how you handle reflections on the glass in the frames? I know from experience that lighting can be a challenge and we all hate "hot spots" or reflections from track lighting or other types of light. Are you using any special glass in your frames to help with that? Anyway, keep up the great work and I'll look forward to some location videos again. Cheers!
What a wonderful set up mate. The old gallery was good but this is a different league. I am looking forwards to visiting & getting a look round later this month. you have achieved a great deal with everything else thats going in your life, so credit to you, Jo & your Son.
Great video Stuart and terrific to see that you are now open - I am in Keswick on Friday and will be popping in to have a look. All the best with the venture. Ian
Great video Stuart it's a big improvement on your old gallery it was nice to meet you in person last year and I hope all goes well for Jo in her treatment. Also, when are you going to put out the framing video? love to see how it all goes together from print to final product :) Take care all the best
The new gallery looks so good, Stuart. Well done for all the hard work and your vision for the space. It was nice to see you comfortably set up when I dropped in a month or so ago. Hope you smash it for the main tourist season up there. All the best 😊
Congratulations on opening the new gallery Stuart. The new place looks great and is definitely a step up from the old place and at least you won't hit your head on these ceilings!😂 I think that your new location will also give you a boost as well. My very best wishes for the future both at work and at home. Cheers.
An excellent video Stuart. It's great to see someone dealing with the actual professional side of photography rather than the usual promotion of fanciful ideas. When it comes to making a living (which is my definition of 'professional') from selling images, marketing plays a huge role. Recognising what the public wants to purchase is far more important than putting out images that may be the photographers favourites and hoping someone will buy it. Very best wishes to you and your fiancé.
The new space looks incredible. It would be impressive without everything else you've had going on, but you've done a hell of a job. I'll pop in next time I'm over your way 👍
Good to see the gallery all fitted out and thanks for explaining the reasoning behind each part. I hope it is a great success as you have put a lot of time and effort into it. All the best. Keith
Hi Stuart! New gallery looks brilliant wish you all the best with it. Don’t know if I can get over this year however looking forward to when I can. Hope things are on an upturn at home. All the best S
We visited you whilst in the Lakes a few weeks ago, not long after you had opened. It looked good then but has really come on since. You should be very proud of what you have achieved and I hope it works out commercially. Good luck.
Well done Stuart. The new gallery looks so much more inviting the the old unit. I'm hopping to be able to pop in and pay you a visit later in the year when things have quietened down a bit. Just love the hanging system, I wouldn't mind that myself at home but, I think the other half would have something to say about that. In all it appears to have that far more 'up market' and less claustrophobic look for the want of better words and no more ducking of heads. All the best mate.
Great video Stuart, the gallery looked amazing when I first came in the weekend you opened up. You have some stunning images in there and they always inspire me 👍👍
Congratulations Stuart, looks amazing and I look forward to a viewing during our workshop in October. With the quality of your photography I have no doubt it will be a success. Best Wishes.
Wow fantastic Stuart you must be very proud, I'm up in October, and I will pop in and be inspired as I did at your old premises premises. Wishing you and your family, and I hope you have great success, which you will in such a great location roll on October cheers Rob
Came in late may and got a couple of prints, still stand by my initial thoughts which is the printing (and photos) are incredible - like looking through a window!! will be back next time were that way for sure
I had the opportunity to visit the new gallery last week and Stuart was very gracious with his time, chatting with a complete stranger ! Such a professional set up and very impressive. All the best for the future!
The gallery looks great! I'm sure all the thought and effort you've put into it will pay off. Best of luck to you and yours.
Thanks Tom
That was far more interesting than the usual UA-cam photography output. And having been inside, it really is even better than on screen. 😊
Thanks mate and cheers for stopping by again :-)
Don't complain, don't complain, you have a beautiful gallery.

Thanks and best of luck :-)
Great to see that the hard work has paid off , gallery looks very professional and welcoming. I'm sure it will be successful, and I hope everything goes well for Jo.
Thanks Dave

Images are stunning Stuart, wishing you lots of success in the new gallery. Would love to visit one day.
Cheers John

Cheers Gary
It looks amazing , after the previous gallery looking like a compromised space. I wish you the best of success, and I look forward to visiting soon.
Thanks David

I love building up flat packing so challenging for me. Good luck for the new gallery hopefully will pop in one day
Haha I hate it! Cheers
Gallery is looking good Stuart. Can’t wait to visit sometime soon.
Thanks Andy
That's a great space to showcase your work,your hard work has definitely paid off...good luck in the future in your new location !
Thanks Neil
I'm in Keswick next week. I'll be bobbing in.
Cheers
Looks great, and I’m looking forward to visiting in a few weeks time.
Thanks very much Anna
Looking good. A definite improvement and may it draw in more punters. Have you thought about having a flick though catalogue of the images not on the wall? Everyone loves to thumb through a book and it’ll showcase your work as a block.
Thanks Ian that's kind of that the TV is for though in the near future I'll be producing an actual book.

Thanks very much - framing no idea as my current framer will need some convincing to be on a camera
The new gallery looks so good, Stuart. Well done for all the hard work and your vision for the space. It was nice to see you comfortably set up when I dropped in a month or so ago. Hope you smash it for the main tourist season up there. All the best 😊

Wishing you all the best with the new gallery. The lofoten image on the feature wall looked amazing.
great gallery. next time iim in the area I'll have to visit
Hi Stuart! New gallery looks brilliant wish you all the best with it. Don’t know if I can get over this year however looking forward to when I can.
Hope things are on an upturn at home. All the best S
Looks great Stuart.
Looks great. I'm up that way in September and if I have the time I plan on paying you a visit. Take care.
Thanks a lot
We visited you whilst in the Lakes a few weeks ago, not long after you had opened. It looked good then but has really come on since. You should be very proud of what you have achieved and I hope it works out commercially. Good luck.
That's very kind thanks
Well done Stuart. The new gallery looks so much more inviting the the old unit. I'm hopping to be able to pop in and pay you a visit later in the year when things have quietened down a bit. Just love the hanging system, I wouldn't mind that myself at home but, I think the other half would have something to say about that. In all it appears to have that far more 'up market' and less claustrophobic look for the want of better words and no more ducking of heads. All the best mate.
Thanks Colin, those hanging systems aren't too bad in the home to be honest they can be cut / painted and very discreet.
Great video Stuart, the gallery looked amazing when I first came in the weekend you opened up. You have some stunning images in there and they always inspire me 👍👍
Looks absolutely fantastic Stuart. Will definitely be on my "must visit" list the next time I'm in the Lakes.
I wish you all the success.....for you and your family
Congratulations Stuart, looks amazing and I look forward to a viewing during our workshop in October. With the quality of your photography I have no doubt it will be a success. Best Wishes.
