Testing times with Vivienne...

I decided to go down to the studio with Vivienne (my gorgeous girlfriend and willing muse) for a totally impromptu test shoot... it was a case of wondering what to do with yet another cold dark winter evening, and deciding there was no better way to ignore the greyness outside than to grab a load of clothes, some tacky costume make-up and hairspray and get Viv to do ridiculous poses in front of my camera!

But actually those seemingly ridiculous poses have really worked out quite well.  I much prefer to go to a shoot and not have a solid idea of what I want, but rather experiment, it's way more fun that way and leads to more creative results, and I really think it worked!  It was a lot of fun, and now Viv now has the bug and wants to get down to the studio with me every weekend, so, expect more photos soon...

About Me

My photo
I am a London based photographer specialising in music, portraits and commercial photography. I trained in Graphic Design for four years then went on to complete a degree in fashion photography at the London College of Fashion. My passion for photography was spurned from my dad who used to be an extremely talented amateur photographer, he will always be my inspiration for everything I do... I have had work published in a variety of mediums including iD, Time Out, Billboard magazine, The Times, The Guardian, MTV and the BBC, as well as producing campaigns for charities such as Age Concern and Cancer Research UK. I live and breathe the work I do, I'm happy to say I'm an addict to photography and hope never to sober up... you can always expect dedication to the work that I do, so if anyone out there is looking for a photographer to commission -pick me!
