A FORMER hospital manager from Hereford has launched a new business venture providing ‘life story’ film shows.

"This is an idea I have had for some time and I’ve been preparing it for the last couple of years," said Adrian Thomas who began doing photographic work during his hospital career and has carried out more photography jobs since 2006.

The ‘life story’ involves production of a professional slideshow including photos, video, music and narration.

By reproducing the special times of a person’s life, using old and new material in a story format, it provides a product that can be shared with relatives, friends and future generations.

"We often have many photos and videos of our lives, yet they are usually stored away in boxes and on computers with little organisation," said Adrian.

"The life story slideshow offers an opportunity to pull these together and put them into a story format. It can reflect either a full life or something shorter.

"My aim is to touch the emotions of the people involved and show them an outstanding professional product."

The business also offers a range of other services including slideshows for special occasions from anniversaries to business marketing.

General photographic and video services are offered too.
