Shooting a couple in a way that looks genuinely intimate can sometimes be a challenge. Those in a relationship can, at times, get “giggly” during the photo shoot and two models who are effectively strangers can be a little hit-and-miss, depending on their acting abilities. That said, it does present an opportunity to deliver photographs with a lot more story and emotion than solo shots often can and every now and then I get a […]
It’s catch-up time again! After sorting out the second studio in Southampton, I took the opportunity back in September to give it a try with a model I’d never worked with before – Anna Smith (or Anna Marguerite, as she goes by for her nude work). Anna popped down from London for the afternoon, and after a little delay in getting things ready (it takes a bit of time to get comfortable with a new […]
This is Laura Catton, an established 21 year old glamour model from Hertfordshire, looking for some new images for publication. Laura hit the limelight some time back, after she exposed 2009 Big Brother housemate Kris Donnelly’s plan to falsify stories in the press, making him look more (ahem) “successful” than he was in reality when it came to the ladies.

A lot of the time, things just don’t work out – there are way too many things to go wrong last-minute but sometimes (just sometimes) things come together to make it work. Enter: Mark Sharman & Jemma Perry, two London models. A couple of weeks back, with some spare studio time and some rather last-minute arrangements, Mark and […]
Back at the end of March, I decided to shoot some personal projects that I’d been considering for some time. The only problem is, when you shoot a lot in the same studio or same surroundings, you end up with images that can look very similar. To make sure my own projects didn’t end up looking the same, I wanted to try something : shooting in another studio across town. Enter: The Chocolate Factory Studios […]
Some time ago, I shot Adam Court (“AJ”) nude at the studio in London. With a range of images (some of which are found in my portfolio), I had to work out how they could be presented. Initially, as single-shots, they worked on their own and images such as this were really distinctive… However, this still left me with a *lot* of images we’d shot on the floor, trying to capture nude movement, but in […]
