MELKSHAM photographer Martin Burnett has recently been commissioned to photograph Boyzone boyband member Shane Lynch.

Mr Lynch has recently become an ambassador for Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Schools who have over 600 schools across the UK and are a client of Mr Burnett's business Zoomi Print.

Mr Burnett said: “He was a super cool bloke. He was the model professional and knew exactly what to do. He knew how to be directed and was completely up for it.

“Shane was performing at the time but came off stage for a few photos. The wife is a massive fan so she was a little bit jealous but I think there will be ample opportunity to meet up with him in the future.”

The 39-year-old Boyzone star was appearing in panto at the Stag Theatre in Sevenoaks, Kent meaning Mr Burnett had to set up a temporary studio in between performances.

Mr Burnett added: "I have also recently had to go up to Manchester to do a shoot with one of the former members of S Club 7 Juniors, Aaron Renfree.

“He is also an ambassador for Matt Fiddes. They were both as good as each other when it came to posing.

“It is sometimes more daunting thinking about the shoots with the celebrities than actually doing them. Once you actually get to know them they are nice people to get on with.

“You are always a little nervous wondering what they are going to be like.”
