Personal Notebook and Photographic Journal
Today was my second shoot with the Stealing Frames collective, held at the same location as my first shoot with the group, in East London.I was a little more creative this time around, using twice as many rolls of film, and really trying to push the digital images to their limits as well. I used many... Continue Reading →
Today I shot with a photography collective called Stealing Frames; a multi-disciplinary group of fine artist photographers. I've been interested in something like this for a while - the style is very different to the kind of images I normally shoot.We were joined by a few models across the afternoon, and I shot a handful...

I haven't done an editorial shoot for a while, so todays work was quite refreshing. It was a concept I'd wanted to work on for a while, although we didn't find quite the right dress to use, so it's not exactly as I imagined it, but I'm still pretty happy with the resulting images.We were...

I've been really working on my portrait style recently, with hopes of moving onto a specific project using film cameras and various cinematic film stocks.

I decided to use the 7artisans 50mm 1.1 for the classic Sonnar look, as well as the inherent softness for a more... Continue Reading →

Earlier in the day I had planned out a few locations including one featuring an art installation which I was quite eager to achieve. We used this as the warm-up exercise, and I managed to get...

Rachel is a dancer from Scotland, and a student of YDance, the national youth dance organisation for young people in Scotland. We worked together on some photographs for her modelling and dance portfolio, as she was interested in expanding into more modelling opportunities. The dancing was very interesting, and "free" and I think we got some... Continue Reading →
I am not much of a frequent wide angle photographer. I learned photography with a 35mm lens, and now do the majority of my work on 50mm. I bought the 21 to use when travelling, just as I was planning a trip to Paris. London streets are not the tightest shooting conditions, and I think the... Continue Reading →
Although I'd prefer for this blog to be written in chronological order I've started keeping it a little late, so every so often I'll write a post dated a little late. Specific events, like Comic Con and Fashion Week I can write as throwbacks; these short day's-worth posts are less "significant" so I'll try to... Continue Reading →
