Season's Greetings!

Alina Cojocaru in The Nutcracker

It is always fantastic when you get a last minute call to shoot someone with an incredible talent.
Had so much fun shooting the effortlessly elegant principal dancer at the English National Ballet Alina Cojocaru for The Sunday Times at The Royal Academy of all places.
The entrance to our 'studio' space was adorned with Allen Jones' playful Can-Can legs!

I am pleased to say that our efforts can now be seen on the cover of today's Sunday Times Culture Magazine.

The Hula Nails Girls

The gorgeous Hula Nails girls let me into their wonderful nail salon to do a series of portraits of them.

Headed and conceived by Georgiana "George", the beautiful salon is pure tiki heaven.

If you are in need of pampering, you can find them in London here

Plusnet

Shot this with the wonderful team at Karmarama for Plusnet.
You'd never guess how tricky it is to calculate how much popcorn you need for a shoot....
still, probably the nicest smelling shoot of all time.

Intensi-T. Beat boxer.

This is Intensi-T.
(the T revealing his actual name).

He makes tracks by making all the instrument 'noises' and beats
with his mouth. He is friends with Ed Sheeran, has already performed with lots of people you know and has an incredible single out now on Universal called "My Drums". Word up.

From Kalamazoo, Michigan via London....
multi facetted man Seth Troxler shot in the studio with the help of a few mirrors and
a healthy dose of 1970's American tv crime series inspiration..
... or is that  Velasquez ?
Either way - a man with a face in a million...

special thanks to Munnoo and Hayden and Mark Anthony ;)

.... and here's the cover...

Fencing Action

Fencing is such a graceful, yet dramatic sport.
I've always been fascinated by its almost dance-like quality.

Continuing my sports themed projects I shot the brilliant Tim Gadaski and Adeel last month.

Should you wish to take up the epee in London, then here is the link to Tim's London Fencing Club

Taekwondo

Taekwondo combines combat and self defence techniques with sport and exercise.
I shot Alex and Lauren recently performing the sport for me.
A big thank you goes out to them and to Cameron and Carole-Anne at Sportspromotions.
