Chloe face of Bank

After Nic Cole forwarded a link to Chloe Lloyd for the Bank competition she was in the top 5 most voted for, after making it into the finals Chloe has now been selected as the female winner of the face of Bank competition. With a Bank modelling contract we wish her the best of luck and will hopefully be collaborating on further shoots in the future.

Shoot with John

Yesterday I went to Preston to stay at John's. The weather has been unpredictable lately so when the sun came out I took this photo of John. I gave him a role to play while I shot him with his camera. As we got in to download the images the sky started to rumble whilst sunny then came the rain!

Experimental customizing

I was eager to make something to photograph yesterday as I couldn't find anything unusual in my wardrobe. I decided to try something different and customize an old top with bits from dads garage. I didn't know what I was looking for, wire, plastic or nails but I found metal Galv staples in there that I thought would hook on nicely and this was the outcome.

Canon 5D Mark II and resuming shoots

I have recently purchased the Canon 5D Mark II. I am interested in making both new images and high fashion videos. I am in discussions of collaborating with a fantastic mua Claire Pattimore and also a brilliant jewellery designer Carly Petitt Taylor, Alexandra Walsh stylist will also be collaborating with shoots coming up.

Today I went too Ormskirk and found a lovely little boutique in a quaint alley, called 'Ebony Jacobs.' There is some interesting designs and pieces. I got a lovely cream flower bracelet which will probably also look great on shoot. on the way I saw a lovely field full of sunflowers and again I saw bunches at the market which inspired me to do a shoot with sunflowers.

Pic taken on mobile from the bus.

Hopefully saturday 14th or sunday 15th August we can resume the shoot with Leanne if the weather looks a little better, looking forward to resuming this and a few other shoots that have been on hold for a while!
