I’ve been a fan of stop motion videos for a long time now, there’s just some so magical about them. I’d been toying with the idea of creating a stop motion video of a fashion model posing, lit by the same flash lights that I use for fashion photographs. I took the plunge [...]
After chatting with Rebecca at a previous shoot I discovered that she would really like to do a shoot with her partially submerged in water and after discussing the idea further we decided to do a shoot at a lake in Cannock with Rebecca standing half submerged in a red dress that she owns.
The idea [...]
Back in April this year I did a photo shoot for Airy Fairy which is an alternative fashion shop, located in The Oasis in Birmingham. The model for the shoot was Sofi (Model Mayhem #1093764) a confident young lady who has really funky blue/green hair.
Katie, the owner of Airy Fairy who had commissioned the shoot, [...]
This was my first shoot with Rebecca Fisher (MM#1163415) and I have to say that it was a pleasure working with her. She’s very talented and can come up with an endless stream of poses without needing to be prompted which makes a big difference to the end result. I would heartily recommend working with [...]
Sometimes photo shoots go to plan and everything runs smoothly. This wasn’t one of those times.
The plan was to meet at 10am on a Saturday afternoon in the Mailbox in Birmingham with another photographer Rob Owen, a makeup artist Sonila Ellahi (Model Mayhem #1039297), and 4 models. It started well and I got there for [...]

The first step was to correct the exposure and apply an [...]
Back in April I got a phone call from Lola Hope asking if I would be interested in photographing her as Mystique and Fletch as Iceman. As you can tell I jumped at the chance.
It took the very talented Sarah-Jane 4 hours to body paint Lola as Mystique, and about an hour to do Fletches [...]
Later on in the day at RAF Cosford air meseum I returned to the Cold War building, this time with Stacey. Again I walked past all of the lovely old aircraft, as well as the tanks and straight to the back wall. What can I say, I love interesting walls or windows, much more that [...]
At a photoshoot in RAF Cosford aircraft museum you’d think there would be lots of pictures of old aircraft…well you’d be wrong. Instead, I found the most amazing window in the new Cold War exhibit and couldn’t resist getting Ruth to pose in front of it. Add in a funky metal bench and you get [...]
After several years posting my pictures to flickr, I decided it was time to get myself a website to showcase my work. Check out Arcadia Portfolios, their websites are really easy to setup and maintain.
I have initially posted a mix of the best commercial and portrait shots that I’ve taken over the last [...]
