D1 Modelling Agency in London have featured some of my photos on the front page of their website. You can check them out on the D1 website. The Model is Abi Penhale, you can find some previous posts from shoots with her here too.

I have a shoot to put up on the blog which are featured on the D1 website based on the ‘Rock Chic’ theme. I will try and get that up later this week.

This  is one of the photographs I have taken as part of series for a client who has designed and built their own house. I am doing a study of both the exterior and interior of the house, and will also be focusing on the details of the house which make it unique. This shot was taken at dusk-time, taken on a tripod with a long exposure. It was a bitterly cold night when I was taking these photos, so cold that the water features your can just about see had completely frozen which made for some interesting shots. I will be putting up more from this project as I shoot it.

I have re-vamped the website for the new year, much cleaner and less distracting from the photographs on the site. It also means I can put up larger photographs.I will be updating the portfolio section shortly too.

Feel free to leave comments on the new design in the comments section below.

Popped up to Corby skatepark on Tuesday, here’s a snap of Lima flying out of a quater pipe.

I am going to get round to putting up some fashion work soon with some behind the scenes photos too. Also a site revamp is in the works. Going to go for a much cleaner look to the site, and should make it easier to find your way around.

Here are a selection of snowboarding and skiing pictures from my trip to Val Thorens in France late last year. This is a fun little roof drop just off of our hotel into a very rough landing! Here Jim does his best mid-air ice angel impression.

Rob is a man who is not afraid of hurting himself. These two shots were taken on Sigma 10mm fisheye lens (review).

Found a couple of fun powder runs, quite a bit of hiking at 3500m really takes the breath out of you, but well worth it! I shot these photos on the Canon 70-200mm F/2.8, a great lens as you can shot from a good distance away and zoom in to get a lot of turns in as the rider goes down the mountain.

In Val Thoren town there were a couple of jumps and drops, I wish I had got more photos of it. This was taken with the Sigma 10mm fisheye again, and using Elinchrom skyports (review) to trigger the external flash guns.

Town kicker 360 on skis

The weather was pretty bad all week which was really annoying. On the first day the lifts were shut completely, so just made some kickers and hiked up the mountain a bit. The rest of the time the weather was pretty much over-cast like this, not ideal photo taking weather!

Considering how early in the season we went (14th December 2008) I guess we were pretty lucky with the snow, the year before in Tignes was better, probably the best weather I have ever skied in! I am going back out to Italy at the end of this month for some more snow action, so I am hoping for blue skies and a lot less wind!

Christmas and New Years always seems to take up so much time! I will do a proper update with some new work later this week. For now here’s a picture of the recent snow fall in the Oxfordshire Downs, near Blewbury.
