Elle Beth and Gem duo shoot (NSFW)
Here are the results of a recent duo shoot with the models Elle Beth and Gem. They were all shot at my studio space using studio lighting. I have worked with both of these models in the past but not together. So when a chance came up to do a duo shoot with them. I thought it would be different and worth arranging for them to visit. Images I had seen of them working as a duo showed they had a good understanding of posing together.
Walter’s Wardrode October event

Having just booked another shoot with the model Nicky Phillips. I realized that I had some images from the my last shoot with Nicky that had not made it on to one of the portfolio pages.

Fashion Artwise masterclass
A visit to Rome in mid February to attend a Fashion Artwise masterclass with international fine art photographer, Nicol Vizioli. This combined a trip to Rome which was on our list of places to visit and a chance to shoot the Fashion Artwise masterclass with 3 professional models from Italy.
A visit to the Hayward Gallery at the Southbank Centre
The Hayward Gallery at the Southbank Centre reopened after a major refurbishment in early February, with its first major exhibition being a retrospective of the work of Andreas Gursky.
Andreas Gursky is an acclaimed German photographer, well known for his large-scale pictures, so a visit was on my list when I was last in London.
This exhibition also marks the beginning of the Hayward Gallery’s 50th anniversary year. The Gallery is nothing much to look at from the outside and the exterior architecture is often described as brutal. However, the two year refurbishment has focussed on allowing the gallery’s pyramid roof lights to bathe the spaces below in natural light, as was in the original design.
April Images
A selection of image taken during the month of April, hence the title April Images.
As I seem to be failing at the moment to get my Blog posts going on a regular basis, I am trying this approach of having a posts each month where I can just add image and a little text about them. I keep taking lots of images but never seem to get them into a blog post.
Photographing Rome at night
Photographing Rome at night was the only real option I had during a recent visit to the city.
A visit to the city of Rome had been on our list of places we wanted to visit for a while now and when the chance came up to combine it with a fashion shoot and masterclass organised by Valentina Feula, founder of Fashion Artwise Productions we planned a short visit.
2017 a year in review
So as 2017 comes to an end I thought it was worth taking a bit of time to reflect on this years photography.
Two of the main highlights from 2017 that spring to mind are being awarded a third London Salon medal for one of my images entered in this years (2017) London salon. Having been lucky enough to have been awarded medals at medal at previous Salons – I never thought I would get a third.
The second highlight was having an image in Great Britain entry for this years FIAP colour biennial .
I also achieved the EFIAP/Platiumn award which has been a long-term goal for me. (see below).
