My first shoot for The Sunday Times Magazine. It's in this week and it's guitar maker Simon Farmer with his vintage Saab.
Guitar Man
I was pleased with this shot of trainee hairdressers at West Kent College in Tonbridge. I've been commissioned to capture some shots of their students in action to decorate the walls of their new buildings and this one seems to sum up the atmosphere with local ladies coming in for some free salon treatment.
"Relationship breakdown" and "evil texter", a couple of recent stock shots for Getty Images. A fun little shoot. Many thanks to comedians Phil Lucas and Julie Oliver for being such good sports.
Live Crib
Some shots from my annual festive engagement. The "Live Crib" Nativity organised and performed by the pupils of Mayfield School for the people of their local community. It's a great little event with a real life donkey and baby, even making this cynical old scrooge feel a bit Christmassy.
College Portraits
A few shots from an enjoyable ongoing project capturing marketing portraits of students from West Kent College. These first few, are from their land-based further education facility, Hadlow College.
Real People And Hand Made Food
Working with the good people at Hand Made Foods in South London who are expanding their empire from shops to restaurants, I've been shooting a great little project capturing portraits of their suppliers. All fascinating people with an obsession for great food. Here are the first few: Miles Irving, the forager, Dave Holton and Tim Jarvis, the cheese makers, Andy Rowland the beer brewer and Julian Pryke, the fishmonger.
Phil The Eagle Owl
This is handsome Phil, the European Eagle Owl who is owned by a friend and as I suspected, he turned out to be a great subject as he is used to having his picture taken by tourists at Canterbury Cathedral where he is occasionally on show.
My first batch of stock pictures for Getty Images. A mixed bag to say the least!
Happy Families On Location
A welcome change from the usual studio style family portrait, I just did these for a friend in her back garden.
A new profile pic for my fiercest critic and biggest fan.
My first image on sale with Getty Images. I'm planning that this shot of Nona, a staffy rescue dog, will be the first of many.
Kate Garraway
In honour of the great comedian Phil Lucas who I had the pleasure of meeting and taking pictures of yesterday, here is the fragrant Kate Garraway who was one of my first celebrity shoots back in 2007. She is and was lovely of course, oh and Phil only has a mild obsession with her. Pictures of Phil to appear here soon.
