happy new year

As the festive season draws to a close and we begin dragging ourselves out of bed on these cold dark mornings to start the new year, I've been reflecting on the past two weeks. The Christmas break has been filled with mince pies, turkey, chocolate, cider, crackers, pigs in blankets, presents, decorations, friends, family and the most welcome break in the history of man. Happy new year!

I did this shoot on a typical London day in late autumn where the light was changing every two seconds from heavy raincloud to low level sunlight. Taking photographs in this kind of environment always seems to be an absolute nightmare and it's very easy to start panicking! But then the sky clears for just a moment giving you the perfect slice of sunlight, falling on the model just how you want it to. It's moments like this that make you feel like the shot was just meant to happen.

A sneak peak of the portraiture session I had with my oldest and dearest friend of 21 years. Here are just a couple of shots from the shoot which involved birds, pouting and eating roses. More shots to follow!

christmas is coming...

Still life experiment looking at dramatic lighting techniques to enhance texture using one light set-up. I think fir cones are quite characteristic anyway so they were actually quite fun to shoot. Easy to direct as well!

a screen delight - fourteen actors acting

An absolutely wonderful production for the New York Times that incorporates all the things I love - film, lighting and the glorious music of Owen Pallett. Enjoy!
