Anyway, to cut my long story short, this was one of those random spur of the moment shoots where friends joined us (my girl and I) for some summer Pimms which ended up in quite a lot of Pimms and a last minute “tapas style” picnic in the park near our house while the sun went down. It was such a great time and I decided that we shoot a quick bunch of portraits. These are a mix of one and two light setups and just messing around but the single light shots are my favourite.

No matter what form of art you are into whether it be photography, writing, design, illustration, music (and and and) just make sure that you keep the passion there but working on stuff just for you.

I shot a few photos of Alice doing her thing. Always so crazy to witness her talent.

They used a photo from our last photo shoot together on the inside of the cover and that was a really fun shoot to work on and I had my first “LAME” experience of a “kebab” that night. Haha. Good times.

Check these guys out as they go on tour in a few days and purchase their EP because its one worth adding to your collection and they offering it for cheap to just cover costs.

Good guys.

Anyway, the guys just launched their new Myspace with a good collection of photos from our shoot together and I love how it has come out.

Check these guys out if you into the harder sounds. They do it well and they are growing fast.

The guys are really young still but amazingly talented with more dedication than most bands older and more experienced than them. I have a strong feeling that these guys are going to go really far with this project …. and even if they don’t, they will have the best time of their lives either way.

The guys have just launched their new Myspace with a few of the photographs that I shot with them and I really love the way that it came out. They are also currently in studio working on the final bits recording their EP which is definitely going to be a good one. I thought I would post this up because I like the way it looks but make sure to check out their stuff especially their track up “This isn’t Hollywood” which is catchy as hell and try see them live if they playing anywhere near you. I know you’ll have a super time.

They have just had 5 of their tracks remixed by Cenzo Townshend which they are currently releasing as an EP in the USA and the UK. Check these guys out, they are one of the most exciting bands I know because they are so dedicated and I’ve heard a few of the demo’s they are working on for their next album and its going to be a killer one.

They used a few photos for the EP and the marketing of it.

Today they released their new Myspace layout using a few of my photographs and it came out really nicely so this is the reason for this post. They have also just finished their EP which releases on 12 July 2010. It is a great listen and it’s definitely worth checking out so show them some support.

Below is a screen grab of the header and then of their profiles.

I was contacted a while ago by a really cool couple that are getting married later this year. Trina’s family following tradition wanted to show photos of the two of them on their wedding day so we met up for a shoot in the beautiful Morden Hall Park on a really warm day out.

At the time I was being assisted by two very helpful and fun ladies (Maya and Robin) that were out in London on a work experience placement from Holland. It was great working with them and sadly they have gone back to finish off their studies.

Anyway, this is a photo or Trina and James sitting on a park bench in the full sunlight and then the next photo I took a little further back so you can see Maya and Robin supporting a Profoto light with a big softbox to break the couple out from the killer sun. I thought I would share and use this to wish Trina and James all the best with their journey forward together. Getting married is a fun time.

I also liked these scenes so posting a few more.

Hope you are all well. Happy Bank Holiday weekend.
