De Beers Jewellery, New Bond Street

A recent shoot to photograph the brand new interiors for De Beers Jewellery in New Bond Street.  A lovely interior to photograph, the main challenge being the extensive mirrors, glass and reflections.  

#drawmystory by Lizzie Mary Cullen and Base Creative

A film I shot documenting London Web Design Agency, Base creative and Lizzie Mary Cullen in a social media experiment.  Starting on Wednesday 23rd Novmber 2011 at 1pm, for 48 hours, Lizzie drew non-stop on the studio wall of Base Creative.  The idea was to create a story illustrated on the wall, drawn purely from tweets sent in.  Each tweet would be line of a story or a full sentence.  As long as the hash tag #drawmystory was used, they were considered for the wall illustration.
This is the film of the experiment from start to finish and shows the toll the drawing develop and the toll48 hours without sleep takes on Lizzie.

Absolutely Magazine Fashion Shoot, a behind the scenes short film.

A behind the scenes look at a recent fashion shoot for Absolutely Magazine.  The idea of a film came about as they wanted to  publicise that all their fashion shoots are original highly planned events, shot at local locations and and not just bought in library images.   The shoot took place at First Floor Portobello in Notting Hill and was filmed and edited by myself.
There is a longer 3 minute version, which I might post at a later date. 
The only hurdle I faced was that the rooms were  incredibly dark with little in the way of available light. Fortunately that just ads to the ambiance which is further enhanced by the music of Robert Johnson.
The fashion photographer is Mike Blackett with styling by Charlotte Kewley. The images as they appeared in the magazine are included in the film.

Turnmill Street.

I was asked to photograph these images for one of my clients to promote and market a new block of fully serviced apartments just next to Farringdon Station. Such and amazing location and such beautiful flats.

Absolutely Notting Hill Behind the Scenes.

Unable to leave the camera completely alone I shot these behind the scenes images of the latest Absolutely Notting Hill shoot. A magazine I've been doing some picture editing for recently. My favourite is the shot of the clothes all pinned and clamped at the back! Nothing's ever as it seems in magazines!

Henry Moore’s Knife Edge returns to Greenwich Park.

One of my clients The Royal Parks asked me to photograph the return to Greenwich Park of Henry Moore’s 1976 sculpture ‘Large Standing Figure: Knife Edge'. The sculpture has returned to the plinth it stood on from 1979 until 2007, is on loan for two years and will be in place for the 2012 Olympics. Excitingly for me, and something the client forgot to mention before the shoot, the opening was attended by Olympic legend and current world record triple jumper Jonathan Edwards. Sadly I didn't get a chance to chat to him as he was too busy, but it is interesting to see the diverse places the images crop up!

Always good to get a phone call from an ex client and this time to purchase additional rights for a shoot I did a couple of years ago. An extra years rights to use this image on the home page of their portal. Happy days!
