Autumn

It's come late(ish) this year due to the Indian Summer which we were lucky enough to enjoy right through to October but Autumn is here. The clocks have gone back, the weather has turned and the Christmas adverts are upon us. Do not be dis-hartened however; plenty of colour from the late fall of autumn leaves and low light means shooting throughout the day leads to often fantastic results.

End of the Summer(ish)

Ah, the end of the Summer. It would be depressing if the weather wasn't the best it's been for the last few months. It's certainly the end of the music festival season, which I was lucky enough to celebrate on the Isle Of Wight at Bestival 2011. I'll be posting some pics in a few days including some shots from Creamfields and Global Gathering earlier last month. It's been a really busy few months over the Summer period and I'm looking forward to working on some long awaited personal projects over the next few weeks.

I'm thrilled to hear that my recent shots of Jeff Leach will be appearing in issue 24 of FHM magazine - out on 14th June.

Cassius Shoot

I finally got round to posting a few images that I shot for Cassius Management last Friday at a dilapidated building on Brick Lane. Portraits included TV presenter and Comic Jeff Leach, and MTV DJ Manny Norte. I was really pleased with the results, I literally had 20mins with each subject.

Backstage Fashion Shoot

I shot a few backstage shots for Saks Studio at a converted church in North London Town. Fantastic venue of which about 5 square meters in one corner was used for the whole shoot. Here are some of the models in make-up.

Happy 2011

Yes, well, we're well and truly into the New Year now and Christmas is already a long distant memory but a Happy New Year nevertheless. One of my NY resolutions is to update my blog on a much more regular basis - so with best intentions well and truly just that - intentions - I'm already a few days late with my New Year message.

Here's a pic of me from my caravan/office. Actually this isn't even mine, my brief half an hour of trespassing to get this shot resulted in a visit from the land owner shortly followed by a visit from a local policeman. Nothing came of it though.

I'm very excited for 2011, with many interesting projects - both work based and personal - on the horizon. Watch this space for more details.

For now though, I wish everyone all the best for the following 12 months, as well as a few months after that...
