Harper's Backstage

2011-06-12T15:10:00.000-07:00

Here's a snippet of my recent shoot (last week) for Harper's Bazaar India. Love the team so much. SO much fun! Anouk is so cute too. Been wanting to shoot her for a while and she was perfect for this.. went to a gorgeous hotel in the middle of nowhere and an airfield. Didn't know there was an enormous museum with planes in south London. Bit of a find!

Out in the next few weeks, look out for the whole shoot up here soon..

New Pics in this Saturday's Independent magazine GORGEOUS!

Check out the gorgeous pics from our shoot with Emma Maclaren and Ben Grimes. How stunning are these girls? Love both of them! Can't believe I shot Emma when she was just starting.. she's even more amazing now. And Ben, just as gorgoeus and fun as ever. I think we had our first sunbathing London day this day. Bikinis in the garden all day in the middle of April.

Gran Canaria

2011-06-09T07:17:00.000-07:00

Got back the other week from an amazing trip with the Independent to Gran Canaria. I thought it would be the capital of cheese, but the country was actually amazing!! Our fabulous production company (AAA-production.com) took us to some beautiful locations. We shot speed boats, helicopters, cactus, sand dunes, camels you name it. Victoria (Models 1) was AMAZING. Such a gorgeous girl on and off set. Tallulah (Storm) too, a wild one, free spirit, so much energy... Polina (Union) came and joined us for a short time, flitted in and out as cute girl and sexy swim babe.. final pics coming soon.

You can find the 1st shoot with Tallulah out in the Saturday Independent this Saturday.

OMG.... this is just the best thing I've done in absolutely ages. Finally I get to make a fashion film. SO excited about it. Love it all from the planning to the editing. And there has been a lot of all of the above. Starring Lynsey Pow, my seriously talented, amazing-est, favourite-est actress. Here's one still from one part of the film. Can't bring myself to put more up, as it just might spoil the surprise..

...watch this space...

This is a taster of my latest shoot with Ben Grimes and Emma Maclaren.. so different and so gorgeous in every way. What a lovely day, the sun came out for us. Definitely wasn't expecting to spend the day in the garden in bikinis! 2 of my favouritest girls.

Got my tutti frutti flats!!

2011-04-15T10:57:00.001-07:00

And am not taking them off either. You will recognise me wherever I go by these shoes. Love. From the last collection I photographed by Charlotte Olympia.

Way too much going on and love it!

Prague and Harper's Bazaar India

2011-03-16T17:32:00.000-07:00

Well, here's a look at some of the behind the scenes from our trip to Prague with Harper's Bazaar India. I took Kenna and Shama along with me for hair and make up (BRILLIANT) and was shooting Gizelli Monteiro, a Bollywood star and Brazilian model. She was just AMAZING! She was un well on the first day (which was also freezing..) and worked through until we had a beautiful shoot. Prague is such a beautiful city. So old, spooky. Love it.

2011-02-25T23:39:00.001-08:00

SO excited about starting filming. These are my very gorgeous friends and a very productive if boozy meeting about what we're going to film. Lucy's 70s trouser suit is my fave outfit of hers yet!!!

Angelina Angelina in Charlotte Olympia

2011-02-22T13:36:00.000-08:00

Another new favourite girl of mine. How gorgeous can you get? I also can't get enough of Charlotte Olympia's shoes. If you've not had the pleasure of trying on a pair, you must go IMMEDIATELY and buy some. (although they may not be in everyone's budget). Never have I had a pair of shoes that get me noticed more. People stop me in the street to tell me they love my shoes. It's quite ridiculous. Angelina fits them perfectly!

2011-02-04T07:06:00.000-08:00

Matching lipstick.. I should be a modewl..

2011-02-04T07:05:00.000-08:00

I wouldn't pull off Crumpet as well as Kiera though.

I still love you too Max!!

2011-02-04T07:03:00.000-08:00

Time to start blogging again..

2011-02-04T07:02:00.001-08:00

Check out Cartier.. Wouldn't he be perfect in Cartier?? What a cute shoot today. Maybe being an animal photographer's not such a bad thing??!!

I'm in love with woody!! Awww

Portia for Charlotte Olympia

2009-09-16T19:58:00.000-07:00

So, here's a couple of pics from our shoot for the lovely Charlotte Olympia. You'll get to see the whole lot at fashion week..
Charlotte's shoes really are gorgeous like herself. What a package. Can't wait to own my own pair (or 10!) LOVE!!

And who better to model them than the lovely Portia?! Beautiful and fun as ever. Pin up heaven.

Fun at Tank!

2009-09-16T19:53:00.001-07:00

Here's some behind the scenes at one of our shoots at the Tank offices! Kate, B and me! I'll upload a preview of our gorg O mag shoot later...

FANNY, oh my god AMAZING!

2009-09-16T19:38:00.000-07:00

So here's a preview of a new shoot for S mag.. I love this girl, she's going to go really far, definitely a watch this space. She's just done an amazing naked shoot with Jonas for Wonderland, and I hope I get to shoot her again and again. A pleasure.

We went up to Yorkshire for this little adventure, to see the parents. A naked Fanny in the garden definitely will have shocked the neighbours if they sneaked a peak!

The Modern Pantry

2009-08-11T15:56:00.001-07:00

Tonight was the 1st birthday of our lovely friend Anna Hansen's restaurant 'The Modern Pantry'

It's one of our favourite restaurants, and we go there A LOT! It's really reasonable, great for veggies, lunch or dinner. I fully recommend you all try it. Service is great too. (and they let our little mutt in - although that might be cause it's us and he's only little). Anyway we ate there after our party canapés and it was as usual gorgeous. I had aubergine with yuzu, crispy shallots and chilli followed by cod with plaintain, coriander, coconut & daikon. Yum yum!

Today's shoot was beauty.. Just girls and hair!! This is the lovely
Anna Tatton, only 16, such a good look, red hair and lots of freckles.
I think a 'watch this space'. I also shot Annie today from models one,
gorgeous, definitely want to shoot her again.

Chrissie Hynde THE PRETENDERS and Gorbachev

2009-08-10T03:12:00.000-07:00

Just getting into this blogging malarky now... and the florence pics reminded me of another gig in June that can't go unseen. One of my all time old school fave bands the Pretenders. Chrissie Hynde really is one of the most inspiring women. And so lovely too. Stepping in at the last minute to save the party from a let down by Annie Lennox. Honestly one of the best experiences ever. Photographing her from front of stage. (oh and I threw in a few of Gorbachev singing a song for his wife - oh my god, unbelievable, he is really amazing. Brought some of the crowd to tears)

FLORENCE and The Machine @ Shoreditch House

2009-08-10T02:34:00.000-07:00

So last night we saw the lovely Florence and the Machine playing a live acoustic set on the roof at Shoreditch house. Love how some days turn into amazing days. To think I just went there for a swim.. We ate and drank while the sun went down. Her voice is incredible, it's not surprising she's on a meteoric rise to fame!

Happy Sundays!

2009-08-08T13:26:00.000-07:00

SO, this is a new shoot with Masha from Next. This was the best day I've ever had mmmm. Iain's birthday, so finished on time for a change. Anyway, out soon in LET THEM EAT CAKE, Styled by the gorgeous Katy Lassen, Set design Lucy Spink, make up by Yin Lee, Hair Peter Lux. All of which I LOVE! And all out to Pinchitos for a night of food and general debauchery..

NEW DIRECTION..

2009-03-22T09:52:00.000-07:00

Well this month circumstances have lead to a well overdue collaboration. With 2 Independent shoots under our belts as a team and a channel FIVE Ident.. (yes, apparently I now do moving image) Me and Lucy Spink are definitely a 'watch this space'.
We've just finished working on "Gossip, and Satan came also" with my favourite team of girls including Portia, Kiera, Felicity and our bessy mate Lynsey. Finishing touches are happening now and hopefully it will be up on channel FIVE within the week!

SCI-FI

2009-03-22T09:43:00.001-07:00

Well, I managed to shoot at one of the most amazing locations, with 2 gorgeous girls.
Masha T again and Anzhela. Anzhela I shot a while ago too, but I think this year could hopefully be her year. A bit older and a bit wiser, the shots were lovely.

Out in the Independent soon..

Essex Housewife and F*cking Freezing Forest

2009-03-22T09:25:00.000-07:00

Out in Essex for a double whammy.. one with Marina J and one with Kiera G at Storm. Must have been the coldest couple of days we could have possibly chosen for these shoots. Marina got the best deal I think with an indoor shoot, Kiera was maybe not so lucky. We only managed to seperate her from her Uggs for one shot and I think I shot that in about 15 seconds. Luckily she doesn't hate me.

Anyway, as well as the coldest, also the funnest. Marina never fails to lighten the mood. Although I think Kenna could have killed her each time she bent over in her wig!

2 totally different shoots...

MASHA'S WORLD

2009-03-22T09:05:00.000-07:00

Well, lots to catch up on if I'm going to make this blog anything worth reading.
There was a TANK shoot a while ago, with gorgeous girl Masha Tyelna, 'the girl with the cosmic eyes'. Pandora and I worked for ages to find the perfect locations for Masha's perfect world. Keep an eye out for the full story in the next TANK.
(out end of March)

Opening night - "just desserts"

2008-11-17T04:47:00.000-08:00

Great turn out on Friday for Laura's private view. The cocktails and canapes lasted the night, which was great! Lot's of sales, and lots of interest. Here are a couple of pics from the night.

"Just Desserts" The waitress strikes back!

2008-11-06T02:41:00.000-08:00

Laura Quick, the illustrator on this (above) is doing amazingly well at the moment too.

She has an exhibition - private view is next Friday 14th Nov 6.30 - 9.30pm
Gallery 32, Charlotte Road, EC2A 3PB

It's called "Just Desserts" The waitress strikes back! A hilarious series of illustrations by herself and partner in crime Anna Magnowska taking the piss out of customers they have served when they were "just waitresses" while trying to make it in the cruel work of art. Well now it's their turn to be cruel. Very funny!!

end of the world as we know it

2008-11-05T12:47:00.001-08:00

Well, today I am back from my holiday.. and what a time I had. I think I forgot what relaxation was. Swimming with manta rays sorted my right out!!

Although happy to be back, lots of exciting things to plan this month..

Up and coming is the biggest shoot I've ever attempted, for Issue One magazine. Watch this space.

Finally the illustrations are finished and shot for Amelia's magazine
I've attached a couple of shots as a preview (I've only put it up as this is a new blog and no-one is reading it so far I'm sure!!)
The animation is the thing I'm really excited about though and will be up on the website as soon as we've put the finishing touches on.

Kiera Gormley 'shoes'

2008-10-17T10:51:00.000-07:00

So I'm totally new to blogging.. stupid really in this day and age, so I'm going to give it a go. Maybe it will be a collection of what's going on, random bits, what's in my head?? Maybe you will like?

Starting off with a couple of my shots from a shoot the other week with Kiera Gormley. My new favourite shots. LOVE her! I think you'll agree.. beautiful.

The first time a model has actually been scared of my cute little pup!! Sinden's dog didn't agree though and took quite a shine to him - those that were there will know how much of a shine. Gemma will never look at him in the same way again!
