Jack.

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting 5 week old, little baby Jack. His mum is an old friend of mine and my old boss! So it was lovely to have a catch up and take some shots of her gorgeous boy. Thanks Jode xx

Decibels Test

These are a few quick shots I did for the band Decibels! I love their stuff and we're going to do a much more elaborate shoot soon! Going to try something a bit darker and Crewdson-esque. I ordered one of his books the other day and it came this morning! Bit of bedtime reading later I think :)

Carly's FMP

A couple of months ago one of my good friends Carly asked if I'd take some fashion photos for her FMP at uni. She's studying fashion journalism and needed photographs for an in house magazine she was creating for the shop Zara. She needed them to be simple and clean, in a studio setting. As my confidence using the studio has been steadily improving I jumped at the chance to take some photos of some gorgeous clothes on a beautiful model, (the lovely Paiton Collins). I drove the 4 hours to London the night before and was up and raring to go at 7am the next morning! After setting up we started with some head shots which looked great, and then moved on to the full body shots... Problem. Due to fact the studio we were using was a portable set up, in a teeny basement room below the uni building, the two lenses I had bought with me for the shoot couldn't fit in the whole of the models body! After a brief moment of panic I took the lens from my film camera and tried a few shots with that, it worked... just! With me crouching on a chair up against the back wall of the basement it just about worked! A little bit of photoshop magic later courtesy of Joseph, I was left with some images I'm really pleased with!

New Blog!

Finally got my own brand new digital SLR yesterday! After using my old faithful film SLR for about 3 years I finally decided it was time to take the plunge and invest in a decent digital camera. I also ordered a beautiful 50mm lens which gives a gorgeous shallow D.O.F. Went for a walk with the pups in the lovely sunshine we've been having at the moment and had a play with the new toy :)
