Shooting my first catwalk fashion show at a charity event organised as part of London Fashion Week 2016.
Year: 2016
Dance Workshop
At the end of July, I had the pleasure of attending a Dance Inspired Photography Workshop run by Andrew Appleton and Appleton Photo Training. Being able to combine photography and dance, two things I’m passionate about, has been something I’ve wanted to try for ages.
Emelie
This image of model Emelie Stenman was taken during the Rossella Vanon Fashion Workshop I attended in April 2015. Captured with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G lens, this is only a small crop of the original used to practice retouching/editing.
Nayrobi & Shailan – Salsa Party
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of shooting an event to celebrate the forthcoming wedding of Nayrobi & Shailan as señors and señoritas converged on North London for an evening of delicious food, laughter and special entertainment with a Latin vibe.
Couple Shoot Practise
As my brother and sister-in-law were down for the weekend, we thought we’d take advantage of the congenial climate with a leisurely stroll around Hampstead. Not wanting to miss an opportunity for photography, I took along my D810 and a 24-70mm lens.
Milk Bath Model Shoot
Half submerging a model in a bath tub of milk and flowers (usually rose petals) isn’t a particularly original idea. It’s been done many times before. However, it’s surely got to be a lot of fun, and so, in the spirit of ‘try anything once’ and the pursuit of something slightly more unusual than the images I normally create, here is the story and a few behind the scene pics of my own aquatic adventure…
Jemima Fine Art Series
One of my new year’s resolutions is to shoot some personal project work alongside the wedding photography I do with Sam. I think we’ve pretty much established that I’m a ‘people photographer’ (just can’t get out of bed early enough to photograph landscapes) and there are quite a few specific disciplines I’d like to try.
2015 – A Year in Review
Three years ago, I made a decision to get serious about photography. It’s something of a personal journey for me, to see just how far passion and a little hard work can take me. I don’t really have a long term goal, but what I do want is to be able to stand in front of you at this time each year and be able to tell you, my friends and supporters, that I believe I’m a better photographer than I was twelve months ago.
Gurpreet & Suresh – Sikh Wedding
The final wedding I shot with Samir in 2015, was the amazing Sikh wedding of Gurpreet & Suresh. The itinerary was actually spread over two days, with ceremonies and celebrations in Bedford, Gravesend, Ilford and Canary Wharf.
Jordan & Martin – Cheshire
Once upon a time, I took a few snaps of my friends’ baby girl as she splashed around in a plastic bathtub while her mum bathed her. The baby girl grew up to be a beautiful woman and, twenty-two years later, I found myself in the quite amazing situation of being the photographer of her wedding!
