Cole FitzHenry

I took this portrait of Cole earlier this year and thought it was about time it was posted.

A'mie

I've been spending a fair bit of time with these guys over the last few weeks shooting their rehearsal time.  The band are called A'mie.  Check them out.  Hopefully I'll get them into the studio soon to take their promo shots.

Thanks Herb...

Philippa and I made a journey to the seaside last month to catch our last piece of Summer.  We went with a vision to create a set of images inspired by the work of Herb Ritts.  If I'm being honest with myself it was Herb's 1980's and 1990's photography that made me want to be an image maker.  I grew up listening to the albums that had Herb's images on the cover.  Very often I'd buy the records before hearing the song just because I'd been won over by the picture.  I now recognise his work instantly.  

I remember being at university and being asked who my favourite photographer was.  As everyone gave their answer, Minor White, Alfred Stieglitz or Henri Cartier-Bresson, I kept my answer of Herb Ritts to myself.  He was never part of that canon and even when asked recently about our shoot we were greeted by the phrase 'well he was very much of his time'.  I'd like to agree.  Herb Ritts was very much of his time.  Like all true masters are.

The Golden Hour

I've long been a fan of Herb Ritts.  I drew inspiration from his work in this photoshoot with Philippa.

Carmen

Today I had the opportunity to work with the make-up artist Becci Mapes and muse Charlotte Chatfield.  We based our portrait on George Bizet's opera Carmen.  The story of the downfall of Don Jose, a naive soldier who is seduced by the wiles of the fiery gypsy Carmen.

Happy Never After

Who's going to see this tonight?  I shot the image of these talented actors for the new play 'Happy Never After'.

I can't resist posting a cheeky peak at the shoot I did yesterday.  Georgia Dawes was once again styling and her briefs are amazing (Yes! We saw her briefs)...

Dancer

I was recently lucky enough to shoot two dancers, Abigail Brodie and William Atkinson.  During the shoot I asked Abigail to pose for a single long exposure shot and the result is above.  Abigail's movement can just about be seen between the two bodies and her hand can be seen through her hair in the left hand corner.  I'm pleased with the result.  It would be easy to produce a similar image through photoshop by overlaying two separate images but I prefer the spontaneity and delicacy of the long exposure.  Photos of Will are coming soon.
