This was a remarkably fun shoot to do, not only because I made way too much frosting and ended up with the mother of all sugar rushes!
The model is Rebecca Fisher, makeup by Karla Powell, hair by Pui Yan Chik.
I’ve had a few people asking me about the lighting setup I used for this shoot, [...]
I have been wanting to do a gold themed beauty shoot now for well over 6 months. I bought the gold liquid makeup, diamontes and organza material off ebay ages ago and had just been waiting for the right model to do the shoot with.
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the idea of a [...]
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.

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.

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 [...]
Here’s a before, during and after shot of a new beauty editing technique I use. Dodging and Burning mostly with an additional skin tone adjustment layer. The original image was taken over a year ago using a homemade ring flash and a Canon 430ex flash.
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 [...]
