Tried my hand at a bit of live band photography last weekend…. quite enjoyed it!
So, if there are any promoters out there that need a “reasonably priced” photographer for the night, or if any bands need portfolio/flyer/poster shots done get in touch!
Had a great (unexpected) shoot at the weekend with a new model Electro Doll.
It turns our she is a photography student studying in my home town.
We seemed to get on really well so I hope this will be the first of many shoots with her.
New projects in the pipeline are a multimedia experience I am putting together in conjunction with my brother who is a music composer. A blend of video, audio, stills and written word…. Still in it’s infancy but I’m looking forward to sharing it’s progress with you all. If you get a chance go and add is facebook page [link] or take a look at his blog [link] 
First images shot at the weekend in Islington, north London at The Hope and Anchor Pub with Tainted Lover.
Still looking for more people who want to take part — email me if interested.
I bought a new beauty dish and reflector at the weekend so it was great to try out this new technique with Violet Raven when she came to visit yesterday.
I fixed the dish to my Gemini 500 head and raised it to about 8ft above the ground almost directly above the model. I then got her to position herself so the light just caught her facial feature, but left her eyes in the shadows.
Ok, so I know it’s a few days early but I had the opportunity of doing a twisted Easter shoot last weekend.
Models are Steve “Junction” Croft and Cloverr.
I hope to be working with these two much more over the next few months.
Many will know that I have felt a little uninspired lately, so it was great when Leila asked if she could come and shoot again today.
She’s 7 months pregnant and wanted to do something so that she could remember this great time in her life — but NOT do the cliché Demi Moore shot!
Armed with just my bathroom, kitchen and a smoke machine I managed to produce 3 or 4 different styles for her today.
I take my hat off to her for being such a great and willing model — She was feeling very unsure of herself as her figure had changed so dramatically over the last few months — I hope you like them and give her the support she deserves for her courageousness

The great debate – is it ok to photoshop images?
“for my part, whether I am viewing an idyllic landscape or a motorway collision, I tend to overlook the actual charcteristics of the scene and look instead for form and texture which are the essence of a dramatic new image. The camera may thus become a filter between it’s operator and reality.“
Bob Carlos Clarke – circa 1976
I shot this series with Felicia in my kitchen. The back drop is a painted canvas.
I placed a studio strobe low to the floor behind the model, then applied a blue gel to the reflector.
Next I set off a smoke machine to give some blur and atmosphere to the set.
Her face and body were lit with a fill flash through a large Bowens box diffuser.
I really liked the result but thought it would look even better with a little photoshop magic to create an HDR effect using a Topaz Labs plugin, then removing some of the grain with Neat Image.
