Boots Christmas Campaign

A few portraits from the Christmas campaign for Boots UK with Rimmel, Maybelline, Maxfactor and L’Oreal. It was great to work with so many amazing creatives on this shoot, and such a buzz to see the images up in boots stores and store windows nationwide over the Christmas period!

Kelly! A Short Film.

I had the pleasure last year to work on the short film Kelly in London, from the creative mind of Joe Roberts, This short comedy was a lot of fun, I got to work with the wonderful Scroobius pip and Maddy Anholt, And a beautiful little dog too!

One of the shots I took also got used as the poster for the short which can be seen below-

Unit Stills Are Great For Film Promotions!

My Unit stills Photography in online magazines!

It was great to see my unit still's from two different films used on online articles to promote the films!

 The first one was from the most recent film I worked on, which was Socks and Robbers the article was in the Burton mail explaining why the crew where at an American diner in Swadlincote, check out the article below to find out more and to see a first look at my photos to accompany the article these photos haven't been released yet so its a sneak peak into the set of Socks and Robbers!

The second article is on the Birmingham Live site about a Kickstater campaign to raise money for a Star Wars short film called Padawan Rising, It's an exciting project with lots of stormtrooper's involved. It was great to work on the trailer and it will be even greater if the funds are raised to make the film, as I will hopefully be the unit stills photographer on that to!

See the link below for more information and follow the campaign if you would like to get involved in the film!

The importance of having unit stills photographers on your film's!

These Articles just go to show how important it is to have Unit Stills/ Behind the scene photography on your films, they are great to show the adventure of your time on set, a good source of publicity and help show the films progression. Production stills can also be taken to be used for posters (as seen below for the short film WashClub) and for festival releases to promote your film in the programmes to.
