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!

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.

Tractors and Robot Arms

I worked on a little Commercial last week doing behind the scenes photography on a Farm in Rugby it was an interesting shoot with tractors and a robot arm for the camera, which was called the Milo! It was very fun to photograph, and watch manoeuvre around the actors to capture the scene.

Here’s a few photos from the shoot, I met some lovely people and leaned how to sneakily get my shots without being hit by a gigantic mechanical arm!
