Two of my Portraits have been made into amazing paintings by some talented artists. It’s very beautiful to see my images from a different viewpoint and a different medium of art, I’m also very heartened to have my work inspire others to create.

Morphe makeup photoshoot, with Boots

As mentioned in a previous post I will be sharing a few Beauty Portraits from some commercial work I have done with Boots, here are a few photos from a Morphe make up shoot for them. This was a lot of fun to shoot and was photographed in the Morphe studio which was a lovely little space. 

The photos were to accompany a makeup tutorial video for Boots which teaches you how to do the looks below, I love working on these types of shoot as I find the tutorials so mesmerizing to watch and it’s interesting to see other creatives create such interesting looks with makeup.

As always on these photoshoots its a great project of teamwork so I’m always grateful for the great Boots team and on this occasion, the Morphe make up artists to!

Fun with the Oddsocks Theatre

Recently I had a promotional stills shoot for Oddsocks productions a Derby-based theatre company, for their upcoming show Comedy of Errors.

It was a super fun shoot as usual with these guys, during theatre portrait shots there are a lot of costumes and characters to portray to show the variety of the show we are promoting, so there is always a laugh showing the best of these characters as can be seen below!

We also shot some other shots for a future production which can also be seen below to and on the Faces page of the site!

Snowflakes

Unit stills from the short film Snowflakes that I worked on earlier this year, directed and produced by Faye Jackson was good to go to the screening recently and catch up with some of the crew!

This one was fun to work on, was in a very chilly shoot in an old prison, It is great to get to work on such interesting locations which is one of the many reasons why i love working on set!

BFI short Pop!

I had the opportunity to work as a Unit stills photographer recently on a BFI short film called Pop which is about identity and gender, the short needs some support to get it to completion.

The talented Director Laura Margo Roe and DOP Bartholomew Bazaz did an amazing job on the film as well as the rest of the crew, and it was so much fun to work on, I had the pleasure to work with the wonderful Stephen Graham and the young lead Jake.

So to get it through post-production they have a crowd funder which can be seen below, So get yourself a perk and help it get to the final stage, even a share is a big help! Take a look at some of my stills from the film while your there and some can be seen in this blog to!

Creative England

I Recently shoot a workshop for creative England and also captured 20 portraits of the students on the course.

This was an interesting job as the portraits had to be captured in one location but had to have some variety in the photos to match the students personalities, and there was a limited time allocation for them to be shot, so it was fun think on my feet and get variety in a small space, i’m quite happy with the results it helps having photogenic people to capture!

Some of the photos can be seen below and on the corporate portraits page.

Pinocchio!

Had an interesting shoot the other weekend with the wonderful Derby Theatre production Oddsocks, I shot Promotional photos for their winter production of Pinocchio!

A young actor called Ethan Lewis was to be our Pinocchio model for the day, and the talented Charlie Mackenzie Barrow did his wood themed make up, including a prosthetic nose for some of the shots, and we had Andy Barrow as Geppetto.

We had a lot of fun with the actors getting into character and creating warm looking shots for their posters of the show!
