I don't want this blog to be all about my own work, so when I come across somebody whose work really wows and inspires me, I want to get it up here to show everybody else. This time its the work of Dance Choreographer Litza Bixler. Check out her showreel below and get ready to be impressed!

Swimwear in Sydney
Wow, its been a while! Over a month since my last post...but I'm back!!
The main reason for this is I travelled over to Australia and New Zealand for the whole of December, mainly to visit family and enjoy the sun, but I also managed to get in a couple of shoots in the warmer climes during that time and here are some of the results, starting with a contemporary swimwear shoot at Bondi Beach...
Followed by a more fashion based story in Sydney...

C.A.L.M. Advent Calendar
Its Christmas...and its time for pressies!!
Below you will find the CALM Christmas Advent Calendar, where you can check out and download some great music for FREE!
'CALM' stands for the 'Campaign Against Living Miserably'. It is a fantastic organisation, who are trying to help young men in particular who are not happy with life. The stats for suicide rates amongst this section of the population are seriously scary, it is the second biggest killer of men aged 15-35 in the UK. Anything that can be done to help the situation should be done.
So come back every day to get yourself something new and help support this great cause, by visiting their website, The Calm Zone.

Andy Turner - Olympian!!
Andy Turner, Commonwealth medalist and Olympic Track Athlete for the 110m Hurdles.
Fresh from the Beijing Olympics, I was fortunate enough to meet and photograph Andy recently as part of the promo shoot I did for 'Slaves To Vanity'.
He's a really nice guy, and here are the images we got together in a very cold old factory in Birmingham in November.
Thanks Andy for being such a good sport!!! (Sorry!)

Slaves To Vanity Photo Shoot
In my last post I said I had just had a month of working with guys for a change, and that the work that I was going to show couldn't be much more different from each other...well, here is the contrast!!
I met up with the boys from 'Slaves To Vanity' in Birmingham to shoot a promo for their new website.
Somebody had the great idea to shoot this in November in the UK, which meant we spent the day trying to avoid getting a soaking and jumping around to keep warm. Actually, the jumping around wasn't so much myself, as I could keep my clothes on...the models however, could not!!
They say a model's life is glamourous? Not so much on this day...

Dale Y - A new face to watch!
Wow, its been a month since I last posted on here, and I've been itching to get some new stuff up.
This month I have been working with the boys for a change, and its been fun too. The couple of shoots I'm going to show from it couldn't have been much more different really...but first up is Dale Y.
Dale is a face that is definitely worth watching in the future. I think he's going to do really well. He has the sort of look that the fashion industry is loving right now, strong features, yet very slightly androgynous!
I only used one light for our first set of shots and made it all about the attitude and actions, he came out with some cracking poses too. Then it was off to the park to try out something a bit different from what I usually do, inspired by The Sartorialist. Then finally back to the studio to play around with colours.
...and my favourite...its got to be that James Dean look you see at the top. Wow!
I hope you like what you see...

How to do Classy Topless...
...I couldn't think of a better title!
For the current couple of weeks, I have been working together with my long-term collaborator, Deborah Lawson, on putting together some funky creative studio shoots.
We are constantly striving to keep the portfolios fresh and try out new ideas and techniques and this is the first of a small series that will see us pushing on previous concepts.
These Black & White images are of the model Kitty Chu.
The following images are of model Lucienne Perry...
