One of the downsides to shooting fashion is that you rarely see what goes on in a day as you spend it working on set ups and moving to the next location. So I always welcome anyone to come and shoot behind the scenes on my shoots as I then get a glimpse of what went on!
The shots above were taken by Robin at Rah Lightbox. I shot a set of promotional images for an upcoming Jewellery Show. Obviously cant show you the final results as yet, but stay tuned! Shot at a beautiful location house in London. Despite it’s beauty, these location houses always pose challenges dodging furniture, ceiling height, getting cumbersome kit up and down stairs. The eagle eyed will also spot the back of Siouxsie’s head. And the mighty Andras & Tash gave me a hand on this one. Was pretty happy with the results and I look forward to being able to show them.
For those interested, I’m pretty sure for memory Robin took these behind the scenes images on a lovely little Leica M9.
Siouxsie my stylist partner in crime & I had been talking for some time about doing a shoot down at her family’s property. Her dad is an avid collector of military vehicles and paraphernalia and it seemed rude not to do something with it, so we set about putting together a story around a warrior theme. He started selling them off and we had to act quickly before they all went! We then needed to put an awesome crew together for the shoot.
We had an awesome but super long day. The weather was kind to us thankfully and we managed to get a story of images together which has just been published in Issue 7 of Magpie Darling. Check it!

The new issue of the Australian based magazine, FAINT came out a few days ago and the images that you can see the behind the scenes in my last blog post were published in this issue. The story is called ‘I never knew her name’ and eludes to a clandestine encounter in a hotel with a beautiful woman. I think the team did a smashing job of making Hanna (Premier Model Management) look amazing.
You can flick through the story above, I recommend going fullscreen. There were a couple of images which landed on the editors cutting room floor which you can see here if you fancy.
I’m very excited about a fashion editorial shoot that took place a few days ago at the Sanctum Soho Hotel in London. As it’s not been published, I can’t show you any final imagery, but I can show a couple of sneaky behind the scenes shots. It was absolutely freezing outside and we were all very glad to be indoors. The model, Hanna Paat from Premier Model Management had just come back from shooting a spring summer shoot in the freezing snow of Iceland the night before, so she was very appreciative of a nice warm and cosy hotel suite.
The shoot was styled by the my partner in crime Siouxsie (assisted by Jess Stewart), And she absolutely smashed it out of the park in my opinion. Make-up was by the ever fabulous Sandra Bermingham and hair styling was by a new face for me, Sheridan Ward who proved to be a revelation and I think it’s the start of a beautiful relationship. I was ably assisted by my good buddy Andras and also a new face on my shoots, Amy Parton who I met a few weeks ago at a launch event.
I’m super excited about these images and cant wait to see them published. Massive thanks to the team who really pulled out all the stops on the day and didn’t grizzle even a little bit when we went way over time. Anyway… just thought I’d share a little taster of what’s to come.
The latest issue of Supplementaire Magazine has finally landed and I’m chuffed to bits that my work has been included in this issue. Click on the image above to see more imagery from the story in Issue 3. Be warned, a few images are not exactly safe for work… or your gran. But believe me when I say that my story was one of the ‘tamer’ ones in this issue which is appropriately called the ‘Controversial Issue’.
The styling was done by the amazingly talented Siouxsie. Hair & make-up was done by the fabulous Sandra Bermingham. I was ably assisted by Simon ‘watch me juggle 5 cameras’ Pollock & Pete ‘I love a good pair of waders’ Repka. If you fancy seeing a little behind the scenes video (kindly put together by Mr Pollock), clickety click on here. Its worth watching just to see Petey getting his dance moves on at the end of the video in his waders!!
