Shot Up North Awards.

I Recently found out that my 'Bubo the Owl' image has been chosen to be in the Final 50 of the SUN AWARDS. It will feature in their shiny new book when it comes out, who knows it might even win, buts its in there with a lot of top work!

Smoothies!

Everyone likes a smoothie...can you guess the flavours?

Behind the scenes...

Here is a short video showing a bit of an insight into how my images are constructed!
Would have been cool if I had kept all the cogs as separate layers but that probably would have killed me.

E-Book Readers!

Here is a recent commission for WHICH? Magazine, the brief was to photograph the 3 e-book readers and then create covers for each one out of different bank notes... Love how it turned out!

Mild green, Fairy liquid!

Recent pic experimenting with making a flower out of a bottle.... The stem is actually fairy liquid, all shot seperatly and comped together :-)

Camera Obscura.

A month or so ago I entered a Camera Obscura competition... Camera Obscura is an American Photography and Literature Journal.
Anyway, turns out they wanted to use my 'Clockwork Owl' image on the cover which is pretty darn ace.

Carnivorous plants.

I've always thought Carnivorous plants were cool.
Some of the ones that exist are really beautiful, but, here is my tongue-in-cheek interpretation! Enjoy.


Clockwork!

Been working on some new pictures, made from tiny watch parts!

Bubo the Owl.


Bird of Prey!


And here is the owl with animated eyes... HYPNO-OWL!

Hobbit Girlfriend.

Went out exploring today with my lovely girlfriend Jenny (who makes amazing cupcakes btw)
Think she turned into a Hobbit.

Time Out London.

This came out today (Valentines Day). Made for the good people at Time Out London. I am really happy with it, hope it goes down well!

My image...



and the actual cover... BOOM.

More Which?

Here is the Mag in situ...



This is the shot that I wanted them to use on the cover but it ended up being the one at an angle... I like this one more.

The Big Issue.

I did a quick job for the Big Issue last week, there was 24 hour turnaround on the whole thing but I'm really pleased with how it looks. It is alongside an article about 'Happiness'. Everyone should go and buy it, its such a good cause!




And here it is in situ


Which? Magazine.

I have been lucky enough to do some work for Which? magazine recently, they are super good people... They wanted an image to go with an article on 'Brands Reconstructed' (brands that own other brands you might not expect.... Anyway they liked the image I produced so much they asked me to do the cover image for the same issue, stoked!

This is the feature image.

And this is the Cover image :-)

My Website

Isn't working properly, its taking far too long to load if at all...

I have contacted the hosts and apparently its a problem there end that is being fixed asap. :-)

MOtion.

Been working on some motion things, just throwing ideas around really and learning how to use programs... What do you think? Its made from images of various jewels :-)

Lunar Life!


Not really, here is a pic I made but don't think I really like it, shit as it took bloody ages!

I Don't Speak Spanish.

Got a notification about this today, pretty cool as I didn't know about it. Think its taken from a thing I had in Advanced Photoshop Magazine

Fractalgrams.


Been working on some new still life stuff, a progression from the other Fractal images I did...

My eyes hurt

Wait for them to spiiiinnn!

Landscapes.




Forgot how much I love shooting regular(ish) Landscapes!

Space..



I love space.

I have wanted to take good pictures of stars for ages, I recently went to Spain and the nights were darrrrrk. I have mirrored them because the single images are not the best quality and the way I have done it technically makes it 4 times the size so you don't see as much noise. (plus I think it looks cool) You can see the Milky Way in the top one, and in the bottom one full-res you can see another Galaxy...

Faces...

I have done a whole bunch of these but I'm still not sure if I like them?

Firework Jewels..


This was made recently for a UK Advertising agency to try and win the account of a major UK jewelers... unfortunately they didn't, but it was a fun image to make.

Tea Forté



Here are some shots of Tea Forté I did, they make nice tea! and the bags looks goooood

The XX.


Shot of the band 'The XX' again for 'Alt Press'. Short and sweet shoot but fun all the same!

Kong.


Shot of the band 'Kong' for Alternative Press Magazine. This was for their 'bands to watch in 2010' issue. Very fun shoot and they were very nice chaps!

Fractals...






"A fractal is "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,"[1] a property called self-similarity." from Wikiiiiiiiii...

I have been liking these for a while now so I thought I would have a go at making some out of leaves... I dont think they are Fractals in the true sense but they look pretty cool and the original files are huge so you can zoooooom right in.

Valentine's Flowers.


Because I'm a lover, not a fighter.
