When I got the commission to shoot a collection of hand creafted woollen lingerie I didn’t really know what to expect, but as soon a I saw the outfits and discussed the shoot with designer Clare Flaherty I knew we were in for a treat!  So here’s a sneaky peek from the shoot.

Below is a handful of behind the scenes pics

I was digging trhough some old photographs today and found this set I shot almost 18 months ago for a local fashion designer and their “Quintessentially British” campaign.  The set-up was fairly simple, just one light and a white curve.

Lights: 1x Bowns head with large softbox

This week the studio was host to Cat Chinn, a UK singer/song-writer who’d commissioned me to produce a series of promotional images for her new album.  I absolutly love shooting musicians in the studio, as natural performers they all have an instant presence in front of the camera… it also means there’s a whole lot more live music around the set too!

Lights: 2x Bowens 400ws monoblocks with 15″ Beauty dish & Grid Spot on wall.  Wireless triggers.
