This is one of many images taken yesterday with the gorgeous Anna from Oxygen models. She was a last minute replacement for the shoot and wow was she worth it!! Jess and I had a little idea last week taken from some fashion imagery we’d seen and with Jess’s illustration skills she drew a lovely set of eyes on Anna’s hands to add something a little kitsch and playful to overall feel of the shoot. The majority of the shoot focused on hair with the wonderful Leighanne producing more outstanding hair-styles for her GHD academy portfolio. She’s recently moved to Rachel Hammond Hairdressing at the Highcross in Leicester in case you’ve been looking for her! Thanks to the salon for letting us use the space they have there. More from this shoot will be appearing in my fashion portfolio very soon!
Model: Anna T from Oxygen
Hair: Leighanne Regan

When Dave rang me last night to say he’d been working on my blog I quickly went online to have a look and I have to say am pretty chuffed the new look and feel he has given it! Very nice!!
So I thought I’d better post something new on here from a shoot I did on Monday. With the combined efforts of Jessica Nurse make -up, Angel Sayers hair stylist, and Leanne Vasko @Boss Model Management we combined our ideas, wardrobes a random fox and a wonderful set of antlers! It wasn’t all so bizarre!
Full shoot will go into the fashion portfolio soon!
Shoot with Leica M9 and 50mm f.2 Summicron lens
Directors and teenagers! – Aston Martin 6th July 2011
I had the great pleasure of attending Aston Martin’s head office earlier this week. I photographed two of director’s of Aston Martin…no pressure there then! CEO of Aston Martin Dr Ulrich Bez is a pro when it comes to posing for photographs and along with The Times and Bloomberg Magazine photographers I managed to elbow my way in to shoot the portraits outside of head office in Gaydon. The sun was in and out as is the case at the moment, so I used a mixture of flash, no flash and reflected light. Following on from Dr Bez, the CFO Hanno Kirner stepped in to his portrait taken, he’s a very tall man so I was on my tip toes photographing him! Dave was shooting some lovely fly on the wall imagery with a slightly different take on what was going on.
Along with a few lovely cars to work with including the new Virage we went on to document a group of 40 17 year olds looking at applying to do engineering at Warwick University. They were truly spoilt with a factory tour, head of design presentation and a sneak peak of the One 77 building. What a day out for them!
Aston Martin Magazine, Summer Issue 2011
We now have the long awaited publication of the summer issue of the Aston Martin Magazine. We wouldn’t usually get this excited about but this particular issue does contain a 5 page spread featuring a nice selection of imagery shot during our time on the UK launch of the new Aston Martin Cygnet. We were sending images out all the time during our work on this commission so it’s nice to finally see some of the work in print going out to the masses.
To add further to the excitement (I’m not sure if we’re supposed to be that excited about it!) but it is the small things that count! Another story on the Bonhams Auction held on the 21st May features a further collection of imagery Helen shot not long after the launch. We do love a published piece or two!
