Leah

I’m amazed (and disappointed) that it took me nearly two years before I stumbled upon Leah’s portfolio, as she’s pretty much the ideal model for me – gorgeous bone structure, long dark hair, and an amazing modelling ability. Her communications before the shoot were almost over-effusively lovely, but on meeting her, I discovered she was indeed the most lovely person (not just model) I think I’ve ever met.

There were SO many fantastic photos of Leah smiling and having fun (simply because shooting with her was so enjoyable – OK, and we were listening to our favourite stand-up comic, Eddie Izzard, during the shoot), that they all deserve to be seen together – a perfect portrait of how lovely Leah really is!

Tamrin

I’d seen Tamrin’s portfolio a few times, and every image in it was perfect. I’m now in a position to explain why – she’s fantastic with her hair and make-up, with an incredible figure, a great wardrobe, and a fine eye for styling.

Hannah Ashlea

My second shoot with Hannah Ashlea, arranged just in time before her move to Hong Kong. She has fantastic bone structure, and truly great expressions and poses.

 

Domm

My third shoot with Domm, simply because of her stunning looks. This is the first time we focused on beauty shots, making me wish I’d done so earlier!

 

Stuffed Toys

I received an unusual photo commission from a friend – he wanted to give his girlfriend a framed photo of some stuffed toys that mean something to each of them.

Photoshoot with Raphaella

Raphaella is one of Britain’s top web models, and with her dance background, it was only natural that she’d be ideal for me to photograph. She also happens to be very good friends with Monika, (another model I’ve photographed and who is now studying children’s illustration at the Cambridge School of Art), so took the opportunity to travel down to Cambridge to see her and shoot with me.

Sadly, the warm weather of the Indian Summer had ended, so we weren’t able to shoot dance outside, but we still got some stunning photos in my home studio. I normally only post-process in Lightroom, but this time I put even more time in and post-post-processed in Photoshop. The results are definitely another step ahead of my usual results, especially for photos taken in my home studio, but are also due to Raphaella’s beauty and experience. I look forward to a dance shoot with her, the style that we both excel at.

I think this must be about the 13th model I’ve photographed in this red dress, and it never fails to produce amazing results.

Photoshoot with Amie & Faye

Amie and Faye are two models I’ve photographed before, and happen to be best friends too. And they both happen to be excellent photographers as well. So it was only natural to do a shoot with them together.

I headed up to Faye’s “Castle Zombie” in Sheffield for the day, and many fun and amazing photos were taken.


The red dress gets another outing with Amie. I’d already shot Faye in it when we first shot.








At the end of the shoot, I got this candid shot of Faye checking her phone.
