I work a lot with the guys at Criminal Damage and they have just released the Mens Spring / Summer Range for 2011.
It’s about 95 pages long so thought I would just post the first three. It’s always good working with them.

Another one of my photos that I shot with the guys from Don Broco were used on a flyer.
The quality of this one is a bit washed out but it’s the best one I got sent.
Amazing guys, check them out.

My family over at Killer asked me a few questions about my photography, specifically working with musicians, general life and London town.
If you have the chance them please check it out HERE.

The boys from Don Broco have a full page feature in the current issue of Rocksound along with my photograph which came out really cool.
I loved working with these guys and know that their journey is kick-starting properly so make sure to check them out and support their music. Their tour starts soon and it’s definitely worth checking out.

The guys from Just Me Again are one of my favourite bands to work with because they really are a laugh a minute … in saying that they are one of the most excited bunch of musicians I have ever met. They aren’t just playing music to be in a band but rather playing because it’s the only thing in the world that they want to do. They are a super nice bunch of guys and I love witnessing how much they have grown since we first worked together in 2009. This is still only the start for them I think.
These are a few grabs of images where they have used my photos that we shot the last time in studio together. Check them out, they deserve the support.

All worth checking out.

On Saturday I got to spend time with my special friends (the Zanin’s) and their beautiful little girl who really has moved on from a baby and now has the most personality since the day she was born. She’s amazing and so cute and I love how much she has impacted my friends lives and how much she loves them and even more how much it shows their love for each other.
I shot some photos in the dark of her just hanging out and rocking on her little keyboard. Thought they work well as black and whites.

Not too long ago I shot a bunch of portraits with the guys from Don Broco for them to use on their upcoming press runs and it was a proper laugh working with the guys. They are super fun.
They just announced their headline tour for next year and used one of the photos we shot in it so I thought I thought I would post it.
Here it is … check these guys out.

I constantly get emails asking how I shoot and what my setup is when I work on a photo shoot and it’s impossible for me to reply to every single email especially because I am actually a photographer and not a teacher or admin guru. I thought that for this reason I would post another setup blog from a shoot I did with the super cool guys from a band called Don Broco up in Bedfordshire.
The guys were a flippen bunch of laughs but in a good way. Had a lot of fun working with them.
Anyway, the one location we shot at was next to a lake with the sun setting in the back. This is what the final photo looked like.

I used a 3 light setup for this shoot roughly placed in these positions (don’t hold me to the exact distances and angles) and the ring light is actually meant to represent my beauty dish but this app didn’t have that as an option. Haha.

All lighting is supplied by Profoto packs (Pro-7b and AcuteB to be exact). I took a photo with my iPhone of the setup in pretty much the same position as we shot. As you can see the sky actually looked like that and I never added in or edited the sky to make it look how it does in the final. Just some good lighting and a bit of tweaking on curves, levels, contrast, sharpness and colouring well importing the RAWS and obviously a few slight cosmetic clean-ups.

Not sure if this benefits anyone at all but it’s up anyway for those of you that care.
Make sure to check these guys out. They are super fun and worth supporting.
Currently listening to : Bullet For My Valentine – Fever.
