Photo shoot for Holly's 21st Birthday.....

Back in January I had the pleasure in capturing a few shots of Holly for her 21st birthday, it only seems like yesterday when I was 21 where the hell have these years gone lol....

I wanted to capture images that could tell a little story from having her hair and make up done to detail shots of her dress and accessories we then finished by having a 10 minute shoot in the courtyard of the hotel before they all headed out for their night on the town....

I've been meaning to post these images for a while now, I hope you enjoy them.

Portfolio shoot in London with the awesome Dila....

I recently had the pleasure shooting with Dila, we decided to shoot around Victoria/ St James' in the City of Westminster, I had scouted some locations a while back and it was great to finally have the opportunity to use them.  I wanted to do something different for this shoot, I want people to be surprised by the locations and to see how your everyday places can look so cool, I believe that these images are different to anything I've ever seen shot around this area before. I am so pleased to have these in my portfolio.

Dila was wicked to shoot with, she has a great look and a personality to match, she was really relaxed and loved the ideas I had come up with, without her help these wouldn't have been possible to achieve.  We managed to fit loads of outfit changes and locations in such a short space of time, the diversity will really benefit our portfolios.  I really hope that we get to work together again and that she is really successful in what she wants to achieve.

I hope you love this selection of shots from the shoot, I will be adding them to my website soon so check it out when you can.

London + Sunshine = great shoot….

This is my last post before I head off for my holidays, it was shot back in February of this year where I did a wicked shoot with Longina and Amer in London. 

The location of the shoot was London’s Southbank as it’s so diverse, we met at a pub near the London Eye to chat about the day.  The first location was in and around the underpass under Westminster Bridge giving us the awesome backdrop of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, it was so cool to be able to shoot there as it was so surprisingly quiet for a Saturday afternoon.  Moving on from there we went to the London Eye then finishing up outside The Royal Festival Hall.

I absolutely love the images from this shoot, it’s given us all a great selection of images for the portfolios so thank you both for all your hard work and for making it a real fun shoot to do.

Here is a selection of images from the shoot, you’ll notice that the wicked header shot from my journal was from this session.  Also a quick mention about some of the textures used in the post production, if you love’em then you can purchase them directly from here they are great to help create that fine art look.
