Hi Ho Savannah Lining – BTS on a CGI shoot

Hi Ho Savannah Lining – BTS on a CGI shoot

If you’ve ever thought that photography for CGI is done with a single shot my latest ‘adventure’ will show you otherwise. This week I’ve been shooting the backgrounds and HDRs for a top secret car that is not even off the production line yet! It may seem a little premature but those of you who […]

Real Men Need Reliable Tools that Don’t Let Them Down

You’ll remember a couple of months back I made a visit to the North Sea, a visit that was not to be taken lightly. (See here). I trained intensively to be allowed into this harsh environment where waves would crash with a double decker force and the wind chill would freeze the sweat on your […]

From Fame to Forsaken, the Car that Gets Everywhere

I’ve been working with Mitsubishi very recently, this time shooting the Mirage. You’ll see from the pics that it’s a chirpy looking car that comes in a rainbow of colours. The brief was to shoot it in action in the city to showcase how nippy it can be. The ideal car from getting from A […]

Back on the Road, Further North I Go

Back on the Road, Further North I Go

I must have got a taste for the wet and the cold on the North Sea as no sooner had my sea legs got used to dry land, was I off again a few days before Christmas. This time I decided to treat myself, by staying firmly on the ground. It didn’t stop me getting […]

Tolkien country – from the Shire to Mount Doom

Tolkien country – from the Shire to Mount Doom

I’ve always loved the landscapes conjured up by Tolkien in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Not just the undulating,green merriness of Bilbo’s Shire, but also the bleak nastiness of Mordor and Mount Doom. Tolkien’s imagined Shire was Worcestershire (his mother came from Evesham), a green, fertile country of valleys and hills not far […]

Instagram, Flickr, Camera+ and 6 other photo apps for the snap-and-go generation

Instagram, Flickr, Camera+ and 6 other photo apps for the snap-and-go generation

As faux pas go, Instagram’s recent insistence that it could sell users’ photos to advertisers is up there with asking a large unpregnant woman when her baby’s due. BIG MISTAKE! Instagram backtracked about picture usage afterwards, but the damage was done. I read at the weekend that it has now lost half its daily users […]

On the trail of the Campbells of Verneukpan and Glencoe

On the trail of the Campbells of Verneukpan and Glencoe

I love shooting landscapes. They’re a challenge. Landscapes are fleeting; an enigma, instant. You need to catch the drama, the light and the mood in a moment because five minutes later everything changes and you’ve lost it. Landscapes can really test your character and ability. You have no control over them. And that’s what I […]

The wheresyourbike charity challenge – fat bottomed men with boobs on bicycles

Photography is my work and my hobby and both take up most of my waking hours. Nevertheless, I do have other interests outside of pictures – or more accurately, I have another hobby that I photograph. I cycle. To build up my quads – to help treat an old knee injury – I wake up […]
