Florien Jayet at London Fashion Week.

Greetings fashion Guys Gals and Ghoulies, ( well it is Hallowe'en..!)

Some Pictures from the fabulous Florien Jayet Show from last month's LFW. Check out the Tim Burton -esque eyes and the wonderfully off kilter lipstick. More to follow from other shows v soon.
Happy Trick or Treatin'..!

Turbans and Tiara's!

Just done a really fun photo shoot with the lovely Harriet, we got some great shots and were very fortunate to be loaned some beautiful jewellery from the very talented Belinda Haag.

just a few pix but more to come over the net few days...stay tuned!

London Fashion Week

Well...that was fun, in a tiring kind of way! trying to find all the venues on my list each day was always an interesting exercise, not aided by the rather creative interpretations of how far it actually was to a venue from Somerset House. I came to regard the phrase "it's just around the corner" with appropriate suspicion!

Despite all the geographical and logistical challenges it was a great experience, there were some amazing collections and so many beautiful models it was just a joy to photograph most days. Grabbing some street style shots is always fun, LFW is not the kind of place you generally find shrinking violets when it comes to having their picture taken and there were plenty of cool looking fashionistas to brighten up even the most overcast of days.

I will add my favourite shots over the next few weeks, so keep checking in as there really were some great designers and some beautifully staged shows too.

here a few pix just as a taster and don't forget to check out the websites for FutureClaw, the magazine for whom I was working, They have a Facebook Page as well as their main website. just google futureClaw
and search FutureClaw in Facebook pages. It's a very cool mag and well worth a look.

P.S these photos are from the Rohmir show, part of Fashion Mode on day 2 at the Vauxhall Fashion Scout venue. fantastic clothes, beautiful models and check those eyes....Bat For Lashes..!!!

Oh Coco!

It's all about Coco Rocha for me this week. She has a great look and I particularly like these Elle covers and the amazing hats that look as if they were inspired by the Black Smoke in "Lost"..!
Her blog is disarmingly ditzy too, check it out at www.cocorocha.com

Got a call yesterday to cover London Fashion Week so expect a blizzard of images over the next few weeks. Peace out

Hi Fashionista's and Photo Hounds

I thought I would pop up a few pix from the "vault" one is from an amazing band, The Whores, sadly not together right now but....who knows eh? The other is the lovely Magda and China from a very cool night called Cabaret Abattoir, it's  a Bristol extravaganza so if you see it advertised ..go! its ace. The last one is from the first shoot I did with the utterly beautiful Megan Rose Raymond. She is centre stage in the Vampire Shoot in my last post ( sound like the title of a Western!) She also features heavily in my portfolio on the website. I think she will be a big noise in the fashion world as she's still very young with a great future ahead of her... watch this space.
Right ..it's after midnight so its officially my Birthday.. 21 again !

sweet dreams

Vampire Heaven!

Finally got some of my fav shots back from the Vampire themed shoot I did in february. Inevitably with ten models there will always be a case of nine people look great and one person looks like they are trying to track an imaginary fly! so a few tweaks later and i'm pretty pleased.
let me know what you think.

a big thanks to everyone involved:
Megan
Shirley
Ripley
Magda
China
Robyn
Danny
Max
Mark
Cyril

Everyone was a delight to work with and considering we only had four hours to shoot the whole thing then tear it down before Russell Kane took the stage that evening I think we all did very well campers!

big thanks to Felicity, Robbie Chris and Owen and as always the lovely Kate Whale for letting us use the Space.

Ash Rock The Komedia

The mighty Ash played a storming gig at the Komedia in Bath at the end of last month, The band who were joined during the encore by Hugh Cornwell for a rousing rendition of the Stranglers's No More Heroes, and Ash's own Burn baby Burn, were on great form. They e-mailed to say the gig was their favourite date on the tour!. They plan to come back next time, so take a tip and bag a ticket...

below are some shots I took during the show, with some seriously good Rock Star poses from  bass guitarist Mark Hamilton......

 Some of the best and brightest costume designers in the business all under one roof, just got back and it is indeed fab. Loved the detail on the Gladiator Costumes and it was intriguing to see just how much the original Jack Sparrow costume needs film stock to bring it to life, pretty understated in the flesh!
