Nothing better than a great testimonial from a client. Or so I thought! A video testimonial is even better, espeically when its from marketing expert and motivational speaker Simon Jordan. Thank you Simon!

Los Angeles School Colonial Day event photography

What a wonderful day we all enjoyed at the Mark Keppel School in Glendale for the Colonial day. This was a first for me to cover a school event as I’m usually up late covering red carpet events in Hollywood, but it was so much fun! Spending the day with all the kids and getting involved in the demonstrations was such a joy and the kids were so well behaved and absolutely loved the camera! The children and staff were all in their Colonial day clothes which looked so great and made the whole day really special. There were so many different demonstrations going on: silversmithing, candle making, drum making, silhouettes, dancing etc. It was a fun packed morning followed by delicious colonial day lunch! The staff had made such a huge effort organising everything, and even the dining roon tables were decorated beautifully. Enjoy the photographs!

Downtown Los Angeles Lifestyle shoot

admin — Tue, 01 May 2012 00:32:28 +0000

After shooting downtown with the Compton Cricket team last year I looking forward to returning. My shoot with Christian was just the booking I was looking for and suited downtown LA’s edgy urban feel. While the sun gradually dropped down we shot in the most eclectic interior I could have hoped for, we even had a black cat and a piano for props! At magic hour we began shooting outside and the light just got better with us finishing with a “sherlock holmes” look. We all were so completely absorbed in the shoot and after a quick wander around the arty lofts of downtown we all went for dinner at the Brewary and had a well earned celebratory drink. Twice a year the Brewery have a fabulous Art Walk, so if you’d like some creative inspiration go along to the next one http://breweryartwalk.com/

Britweek red carpet event, Los Angeles 2012

Britweek kicked off on the 24th April with an incredible star-studded red carpet event at a private residence in Hancock Park, Los Angeles. This was the start of two weeks of events to celebrate British talent and industry in LA and it was in true British spirits that the weather was suitably overcast! Despite this the evening was buzzing with everyone had a great time enjoying the fish and chips, sticky toffee pudding, green and blacks chocolate fountain ( delicious!! ) and a never ending supply of cocktails. This was my first Britweek and to be photographing on the red carpet and later at the event was amazing. Many of the guests walking the red carpet are in my Brits in LA portrait book including Matt Goss, Ioan Gruffud, Peter Asher, Martyn Lawrence Bullard and Angie McCartney, so it was great to see so many friendly faces.

Hollywood Hills lifestyle shoot

This must be the most stunning, LA at its best location for a shoot. Set in the Hollywood Hills this is what everyone dreams of when thinking about LA lifestyle! I had a great team, superb models, the perfect location and weather, and the best lights and lighting assistant I could hope for. Thank you David! There were many different setups to get though in a short time, so it was a race against time.

Angeleno magazine shoot: Beverly Hills Housewife

admin — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 08:51:42 +0000

What more fun can a shoot be? I was in a gorgeous Beverly Hills home on a sunny day surrounded by cupcakes, kids and cookies! The children were in their element indulging in delicious cupcakes and cookies while dressed in cute little pink tutu’s. Their Mother looked every inch the glamorous Beverly Hills housewife – stunning in every outfit, from poolside to kitchen to playground swings. Despite it looking warm and sunny it was actually pretty cold out by the pool – our model was such a good sport to brave the chilly weather.

I was so excited to see the resulting advert and to finally get my copy of Angelino magazine. There is nothing better than seeing my work in print! Its a great magazine so if you have not got your copy – go and grab one, they’re free!

Levitation and creative photography

Something that I am really loving is creating an image around a story and pushing the limits of photography. It is wonderful when people are looking at the resulting image and wondering how it was created. Its the best compliment! Here are some recent images from shoots in London and LA. Thank you to Brooke Shaden and Miss Aniela for sharing their vision with me at their inspirational workshops. I look forward to reading your comments!

Beach shoot at Malaga Cove California

admin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:52:09 +0000

This has to be one of my most magical shoots. The location was the gorgeous Malaga Cove near Palos Verdes during a sunny January day and we managed to navigate the rocks to arrive on the sand. Kate looked so beautiful, in some shots she looked as though she belonged in a Tim Burton does Wuthering Heights movie! The lighting was spectacular – not only did we have gorgeous natural light to use as a backlight, David did an amazing job with the profoto lights – thank you so much! Thank you Kate for braving the cold and the wet and for levitating so perfectly!
