A fashion story mixing film and stills I shot with Art Director and Stylist Georgina Hodson has just been published in the Ipad based magazine Project.

The story features model Rob Knighton  battling the force created within a wind tunnel and mixes film and stills that are beautifully displayed on the Ipad’s backlit screen.

Here is a screengrab of the title page which fades in after the intro film clip

Later on this month (Sept 11 ) a story I shot for 7th Man will be published. Working with 7th Man’s Fashion Director Dean Hau we shot U.S actor Ryan McPartlin around the streets of Portobello Rd in west London.

Here is one of the images of Ryan that isn’t be used in the story

Snowboard montage of a trip to Queenstown , New Zealand and the most stunning Mountain Range I’ve ever seen….I think that’s why they’re called The Remarkables!

On Friday 8th April Sport Magazine released their new issue featuring the shoot I did with England rugby star Ben Foden. The turnaround was unbelievably quick as the shoot itself was only on March 25th but everyone involved loved the shoot including Ben ( which is always nice to hear! )

I had 5 mins to shoot the Land Rover shot as we were parked up on one of the greens on the golf course to enable me to get the composition I wanted, vehicle, lake in front of the house with Ben in the foreground. The PR guy for Stoke Park was really pushing us and I think in the end I only shot 15 frames

On this particular occasion the sun was on it’s final descent and the water in the fountains looked amazing.

My little compact camera which I take everywhere is waterproof upto 10ft so this is an underwater view of Trafalgar and the fountains

It’s one of my favourite parts of London, especially when the sun is out, it’s almost a visual overload with so much going on down there, below are some pictures I took exploring light , colour and composition.

So last night saw the launch of the 2nd Issue of Rollacoaster Magazine to coincide with London Fashion Week. I didn’t actually attend due to other work commitments so I haven’t seen the issue myself yet but I’m looking forward to picking up an issue today. I’ve got 7 different shots within the issue but I think my favourite shot on the day were the portrait of Being Humans “Russell Tovey” I literally photographed him for 15 mins but managed to get some really strong images. Rollacoaster used the main image below for their interview but I’ve included a strip of some others I liked.
