Last night we got together for our annual pumpkin carving (rubbish talking and laughing) session. As always it was classic and I wish I had’ve filmed the whole night. These are the carvings we made.

Happy Halloween everyone. Be safe.

Being a photographer and working full time shooting photos makes it hard some times to walk around without a camera because I always see stuff I want to shoot. This is a prime example of good friends coming over for dinner on the weekend and then me taking out gear and shooting photos of them with their little girl. I love these three people.

Today I spent an amazing day with a bunch of special friends in Hyde Park just relaxing and hanging out. Nothing nicer than having a picnic and speaking crap with people close to you. I waited all day to shoot portraits of us but it started getting dark near the end and as I set up it was basically too late and we got cut short with rain. The light changed so quick and I had to keep adjusting so these are very different in terms of lighting but I like them so much. Special friends making special memories.

Hope you are all well. Happy Bank Holiday weekend.

My friend Andrea is an incredible writer and I have been a huge fan of her work for a long time now. She started up a personal blog earlier this year where she went by the name of Rant Chick and used the blog to rant her ideas and it is always a pleasure to read. Since then she has also reviewed live music shows, band albums, restaurants, movies and other general things of interest and now she has decided to go freelance. I think it is about time and really back her up all the way because of the quality and truth behind her writing.

If you are in any need of writing that is fresh, honest and entertaining then you should keep her in mind and check out her personal website on andreazanin.co.uk

So, my site is still not completely finished which really is getting me down but that is how life goes some times and although I really want to update it with content and save my latest images for that, I have decided to post some personal experimental images that I have been shooting in my free time that isn’t part of the commissioned work that I do but definitely still as fun for me.

I have a lot that needs to be processed (physically and not digitally) and will post more as they come but for now here are 5 images that I shot with my Holga 35mm plastic lens camera that my wife bought me for this passed Christmas. It’s super cool looking and really has a fun feel to it but I really battle to shoot with something that doesn’t allow me to control exposure so instead I find myself using other means to get by this. These photos are mostly of the sky on a cloudy / rainy day about 2 weeks back and then a portrait of my good friends and wife that I shot in a tiny road off of Brick Lane.
