Wow it’s been quite a long time since I last updated my blog! A lot has happened since then ………… Canterbury launched their new website which featured the AW10 I shot in the Lake District here is the link :

Canterbury also released the AW10 lookbook and below are some of my favourite images from it, the rest can be seen on my website www.benmcdade.com







Towards the end of August this year I was commissioned to photograph the Autumn Winter Campaign for Rugby and sportswear brand Canterbury Of New Zealand. We had an amazing team put together by the tour de force that is Mill Co. who got the Art Director Georgina Hodson on board and then of course me! After a few meetings and a full day of casting we assembled our models, production crew and shoot team and ventured north to that beautiful part of the country, The Lake District.We worked flat out and produced some brilliant images to really give the AW10 shoot the treatment it deserved.
Unfortunately I can’t show any of the work until November so in the meantime I’ve included some landscapes I shot and I will keep on adding incidentals and behind the scenes pictures of the shoot day by day

I was asked by Kerry to shoot her debut collection for Spring / Summer 2011. Her “High Society” collection takes inspiration from the couture of the 1950’s and we both wanted the images to reflect that. For a closer look at her collection you can visit http://www.kerrynixon.com …….there is also a behind the scene film of the shoot
Here are a couple of images from the collection



To coincide with London Fashion Week this year Wonderland Magazine launched a new magazine called Rollacoaster. I was asked to photograph 3 of the cast from the E4 TV show Misfits.
The triptych below shows the 3 images that were published and if you click on the link you can flick through a digital version of the magazine

Below are a couple of other images taken on the day, all of them were so lovely and a pleasure to shoot. In fact making them laugh and mess around had me in hysterics most of the afternoon!
There are more images from the shoot on my website
