Having finally stopped work late on xmas eve, I am enjoying the chance to have a few days when I can catch up on editing shoots from the autumn and summer. In truth, I fell even more behind that usual this year due to other demands on my time. But it's nice to site here by the stove and be reminded of some of those glorious summer days when I was able to grab the chance and head out on a shoot, usually accompanied by a lovely model.
I've uploaded a set today from my second shoot with the wonderful Sara. We first met last year when she ventured down to Devon, so I was pleased that we were able to hook up again for a few days at the end of this summer. Although the weather wasn't great, we did manage to get some great images from a variety of locations.
Sara has an instinctive ability with her modelling; I keep telling her she should act as she seems able to become a different character with each setting. She is able to convey a huge range of emotions and atmosphere, by the way she reacts to the place with her posing and her facial expressions. She can be simultaneously vulnerable and seductive, lost and empty yet femme fatale. A fascinating mixture of a woman. Very down to earth too, which made for a relaxing couple of days. Roll on next summer!

In love with low key lighting!
The first time I ever ventured into a studio a dozen or so years ago, I dabbled in some low key figure work with a very patient model. I had no idea what I was doing but with a lot of experimentation and encouragement, managed to produce a few images that I was delighted with. What really opened my eyes that day was the intense beauty and atmosphere that could be created with a single large soft box and a black background. The shape and texture of a body can be defined in a subtle yet very effective way using that set up.
Whilst I still prefer to shoot outside, in order to stop my creativity from drying up completely during the long Briti
A reunion with Rosa
My increasingly hectic work schedule, combined with a development project I was undertaking meant that I had precious little time for photography in 2015. Likewise Rosa’s career rocketed upwards at the same time, meaning our diaries didn’t coincide again until the end of the year. But we picked up where we left off with ease just before xmas.
I had long had an idea to do a shoot in an empty church hall or similar building, with a model rising from a chair within a large empty space. Finally with Rosa’s skill and appetite for anything new, I was able to realise that. I was able to ‘borrow’ an old hall that I a
New work with an old friend
Every so often in the world of photography and modelling inhabited by all of us who are driven to create art, you meet someone who leaves a lasting impression on you, someone who truly touches your soul. That was certainly the case when in the later summer of 2009, I first met Erin, at the very beginning of her artistic modelling journey. Right from the very first moment, she radiated positive energy; I felt I had discovered pure gold.
Over the past six years or so, we have enjoyed many wonderful shoots, (and a few scrapes), together. I have added some samples from our latest outing on a warmish autumn day last year. I took Erin to one of
The last rays of summer..,
A couple of months ago, while there was still warmth in the air, I was delighted to be able to enjoy a day out on the wilds of Dartmoor with Chiara Elisabetta, an exceptional model who's work I had admired before but never had the chance to meet. She proved to be an inspiring and fascinating companion, with a uniquely positive outlook on life. That came through in bucket loads as she embraced my ideas with aplomb, from wading into fast flowing torrents, to braving the windswept high torrs. Every location and suggestion was met with genuine enthusiasm that made a deep impression on me. I drove home feeling uplifted by the simple moments of

'Tis good when you have an instinctive model. You just never know what you're going to create together, which just makes it more exciting & enjoyable.
