"KA-POW!!!" for PAPERCUT MAGAZINE - Editorial & COVER

A month or so ago I did an awesome shoot with an amazing team which has just been published in the December issue of Papercut Magazine! Woohoo! And what's even better is I got the COVER!! The shoot was based around a strong Pop Art influence, taking inspiration from Comic Book colours, patterns and expressions. We had an amazing team working on the shoot and I am sooo proud of the result! The models captured the emotion of the shoot perfectly and overall I think it's pretty rad!

Models: Siannon @ Chic/N Model Management & Seon @ Clyne

Bay Berger - Beauty shots

A while ago I did a shoot "Miss Jane" for Remix Magazine and did some extra close up/beauty shots of the model Bay Berger @ Nova as I thought she was, quite simply, absolutely stunning! They were shot in addition to the looks featured in the Summer Issue of Remix Magazine so didn't make it in. I really like them though so thought I would share a few with you. What an absolute BEAUTY!!

P.S. I must add that these are all totally un retouched!! All I've done is play with the colour slightly, completely no airbrushing going on at all, she's just that perfect!

Styling: Sophie Donovan @ Remix Magazine

Hair: Stanze Rudduck @ Steven Marr

Makeup: Sarika Patel @ M.A.C

Ketz-Ke LookBook Summer '12/13 - "A Perfect Day..."

A little ago now I again had the pleasure of shooting another LookBook for KetzKe - their 2012-2013 Summer Campaign and LookBook "A Perfect Day..."

We are now nicknamed "The Dream Team", I truely love shooting for them. The days go so smoothly and everyone gets along and works incredibly well and fast together - essential for high intensity days like these. This seasons LookBook featured model Kendall Schuler @ Red11.

Again, these guys have come up with a great selection this season, I already have many pieces and just want more and more! Check out their Summer collection in store or online here. 

This is the campaign image for the collection above, and below are a few snaps of the LookBook images - what an amazing background! I LOVE it!

"Miss Jane" featured in Remix Magazine Summer Issue

This is my most recent shoot in the summer issue of Remix Magazine called "Miss Jane" which features the ever so beautiful Bay Berger @ Nova. Sophie at Remix Magazine did an awesome job of styling and sourcing the fabric which I used for the backdrops. Hair by Stanze Rudduck @ Steven Marr, and beautiful makeup by Sarika Patel @ M.A.C.

I tried out a new lighting technique for this shoot and am so happy with it! I love how the lighting is really soft and subtle, overall a really flattering lighting for fashion/beauty work - and it makes retouching a breeze as it smoothes out everything (not that Bay needed it, this girl has the most amazing skin I've ever seen!).

Overall, I'm really happy with the shoot. It's quite girly and soft in comparison to my last shoot for Remix, mixing it up and changing things is always a good thing, I'd hate to ever get stuck in one look.

Thanks to the awesome team on the day, we all worked so well together and it shows in the results.

Bring on the next shoot!!

"Lady In Black" featured in Remix Magazine

This shoot titled "Lady In Black" featuring the beautiful model Lili Sumner @ Red11 is my latest shoot featuring in the spring issue of Remix Magazine. I had so much fun doing this shoot, our team was amazing! Styling by the ever so talented Sophie Donovan @ Remix, Hair by the amazing Lauren Gunn@Steven Marr, Makeup by Daisy Uffinell, and stylist assistant Jessica Beresford. I really love the 'sex appeal' feeling of this shoot (not something I do that often) so was good to step out of my comfort zone a bit and produce work that has a very sultury, almost vampy, feel to it. And what can I say about Lili, isn't she just divine! I love the limited colour palette we used with the pop of red, nothing sexier than an beautiful red lip! Enjoy x

Ketz-Ke LookBook Spring '12 - "Print Literature"

A while ago I had the pleasure of working with the team at Ketz-Ke and models Johanna@62 and Hanna@62 on the latest Ketz-Ke Spring'12 Campaign and Lookbook. Was such a fun shoot day! Just saw the catalogues and they look great! Above is the Campaign image I shot for them, and below are a few images from the Lookbooks I did - they have two ranges...Ketz-Ke and Ketz-Ke Black, and some pretty awesome accessories too I must add! Check out their entire stock on their website here, or in stores x

"Colour Blind" featuring Mary Maguet

"Colour Blind" is a shoot I did with the amazing Mary Maguet @KHM/RPD. WOW! Isn't she cool! This was such an awesome day, the team and I had so much fun playing around with the paint, and the hair...I am so in love with her hair like this! Amazing hair and makeup by Rebekah Banks, styling and creative direction by Helle Weston. Such a nice bright shoot, love it!

Outtakes from my "Love Always" shoot for Remix Magazine

A few weeks ago my latest shoot in Remix Magazine came out...There were a few photos that didn't make it into the magazine that I wanted to share, I love them just as much as the others!!

"Love Always" for Remix Magazine

A short while ago I had the pleasure of shooting my first editorial for Remix Magazine. The shoot titled "Love Always" features models Rosie @ Nova, Nicola @ Nova and Kate @ N Model Management and was a retro, pin-up inspired studio shoot. Fashion by Sophie Donovan, amazing Hair by Ella Macedo @ Killer Hair assisted by Tom @ Killer Hair, and makeup was done by the talented Kiri O'Brien assisted by Sharon Ngen. 

One of the images from the shoot actually made the COVER of the issue - Remix Magazine's 15th Birthday Issue! Needless to say, the team and I were stoked with the shoot and getting the cover. Enjoy xx

"The Little Black Crow" featuring Erica Rosen for Chaos Magazine

A little while ago I had the absolute pleasure of shooting Erica Rosen @ Clyne/Elite, an international model from New York. Our shoot "The Little Black Crow" has just been featured in Chaos Magazine. I love this shoot and think Erica looks like a total babe! Styling and Creative Direction by Helle Weston, Hair and Makeup by the extremely talented Rebekah Banks. We had such an awesome day shooting it, I love my team! Enjoy x

"Under Grey Waters" featuring Bec Downes and Tyller McCulloch

This is a shoot titled "Under Grey Waters" featuring international model Bec Downes @ Red 11 and model Tyller McCulloch @ KHM. It was such an intense shoot for the models but they both did amazing! Hair, makeup and styling by the talented Olga Gill. I was so pleased with the result and loved how the series turned out. On the day I had some major technical issues with some lights I had borrowed so I ended up moving our whole set outside and using only natural light...which I ended up loving! I got Tyller, one of the models, to do a piece of writing to go with the shoot. Check out some more of her stuff here. All in all I really love this series and the strong concept behind it. Enjoy!

This shoot titled "Good Girls Don't" is something I shot a while ago now at night in an empty car park. The shoot features model Laura Scaife @ 62, styling by Rebecca Flavell, Hair by Vladimir Moiseev and Makeup by Olga Gill. It was such a fun shoot, and I love the mood created by the location and lighting.

Sophie Boxer 2012 Lookbook and Campaign

I shot the Sophie Boxer 2012 Lookbook and Campaign a few months ago now and thought I would share a few of the images with you. All were very simple and effortless, but was really great to get some Lookbook experience under my belt. For all images check out the Sophie Boxer website here.

My things in Magazines

A little while ago I did a shoot with Makeup Artist Rebekah Banks and model Kirsten Davies @red11. Just recently it has been published in Images Magazine...check it out :)

As well as this, I also assist a few photographers every now and then and I'm lucky enough to be assisting Photographer Fiona Quinn quite recently. She does a lot of Editorial for M2Women Magazine and when I assist her I also take photos for the Behind The Scene segment of the magazine. So thought I'd show some of my Behind the Scenes Photos in the latest M2Women magazine. Shoot features model Tori Trigg @red11.

Inspiration: Hedi Slimane

WOW!! This dude is AMAZING! Sooo in love with his work...what inspiration!

Check out more of his work here. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a sucker for anything Black and White...but they are all truly stunning images!

Sneak Peak: Rounding out 2011

At the end of last year I got the chance to do a few really creative shoots with some amazing teams of talented people. I can't show them to you yet, but I thought I would share this little sneak peak image from one of the shoots. Models: Bec Downes@red11 and Tyller McCulloch@KHM. Hair, makeup and styling by Olga Gill. Much more to come! xx
