I do love a good beauty shot, but it’s not an area I’ve done much work in. You need a certain type of face & really clear skin to pull it off, & with the focus being on the face it’s vital to get a great expression. I’m interested in...

Everybody wants to be a cat…. It’s occurred to me that many girls I know have a tendency to become cat-like at certain times, & if you give them some kitty ears they fall into character pretty quickly, so I’m going to set up a series of shoots...

As a companion piece to my favourite beach shots the other day, I thought I’d share some things I’ve found about shooting on beaches. I was living in Gran Canaria when I took up photography & for the first three years pretty much every shoot involved a...

Not too many guys come to me for shoots, so it makes an interesting change. The posing’s completely different, but tricky, it’s surprisingly hard to look like you’re not doing anything in a photo! I learned quite a bit about lighting from this shoot;...
