    Playing with lighting ideas, trying to make a rainy day look sunny! Basically a back lit shot, with some front fill light. 1 580ex Speedlite as front left fill, silver reflector to right and 1 Elinchrom 500 with yellow gel as the backlight/bounce main. Thanks Fi for modelling!

    I recently photographed a set of photos for an Oxford based band Invisible Vegas. I really enjoyed the project because the band gave me quite a free reign on the kind of shots they wanted. I found a great location in Oxfordshire by a river and with an old barn in the grounds. For this…

    I used to do a lot of gig photography, it was always good to go see bands for free and take photos at the same time. I haven’t done so much since moving back to Oxford, but I still do the odd gig. One of the guys I used to ride bikes with is now…

    It’s always fun to experiment with new ideas and styles. A local Oxford make-up artist and I did a test with a model recently to try out some interesting and different make-up ideas. To add another element to the shoot I introduced a silk cloth which I asked the model to flick across her face.…

    The sun has been shining and I am loving it! This was shot at a BBQ in Cardiff last weekend. This shot wasn’t setup, I just snapped it whilst the guys were messing around. Just goes to show it’s worth taking the camera everywhere!

    A country themed fashion test I recently completed with model  Abi Penhale. This shot was natural light and a little fill from a shoot through umbrella and a Canon 580ex II. The wind was absolutely freezing this day so we didn’t shoot for as long as we would have liked, I am planning some more…

    I am happy to say I have a full page of photos in this months RideBMX UK magazine. My friend Pipe wrote the article. It’s about the struggle of dealing with the cold winter days, but seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I can’t wait to ride the jumps in the summer time!

    A friend of mine, Emma, is in her final year of make-up studies (not sure if that is the correct term for the course!) at the London School of Fashion. I went along and photographed the result of their project which they designed the make-up and styling for. The shoot location was a balcony just…

    Just a quick post of Tilly jumping up in the air on the roof of a garage! Setup shot here. I wasn’t quite sure if it was strong enough to hold us, let alone jump on it! Held up in the end though Elinchrom 500 as main light through softbox, and 250 head with reflector…
