Beth #2

It's been a busy Christmas time but I am happy we are now in 2011. Somehow things seem fresher again, even though it's grey and drizzly outside and I miss the snow. Here is another image of Beth Rowley I took at the beginning of the last cold snap.

Beth #1

I've been working on a series of portraits of musicians and this is the first one to be posted here. This is the beautiful Beth Rowley, an amazing singer/songwriter who kindly gave up her time to work with me. It's a little on the soft side (sorry Mr Scarff!) but I am still waiting for the rest to come back from the lab and am excited to share this image.

A few images from a short photofilm I'm collaborating on. It's been great to work on a new project and even better to taste some truly gorgeous food.

I've been looking around at people who are producing multimedia/photofilms and really like this one by Rachel Mummey.

I mentioned in a previous post that I've been working on a few small photofilms to try to improve my skills. I've now finished one I started in the summer and I've moved away from using Soundslides. It's been a learning curve to make this new piece so any feedback will be greatly appreciated! It's best viewed with the HD off otherwise it takes ages to buffer but annoyingly doesn't give so much resolution on the images...I'm still working it all out.

How to become a star...

Here's a very cool little animation that the singer and songwriter Jane Taylor has co-produced as an innovative way to raise money to promote her latest album.

A little bit of luck

As the days get shorter and colder there are only a few couples who brave the Autumn and Winter to get married. I was working with a friend at a wedding on a crisp Saturday morning, feeling a bit rusty and wondering how I was going to get some good shots in a badly lit hotel room full of people. Then the bride who had just finished getting ready, put on her veil ready for her big day and there, fleetingly was a special moment. A little bit of luck can go a long way.
