Never been to Kansas.

 
What a busy start to the year it has been.  This month has seen the launch of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation's Better Life Campaign.   I spent a couple of months traveling between Edinburgh and London shooting portraits which will now be used to promote the research they have been doing.

This is James in Glasgow.

 

Pat in London,

and Pal in Wolverhampton.

I also spent a weekend near Dull in Scotland (map). Where I managed to get a few quick snaps of the local trolls.

Also I'm off to Australia for two weeks on Monday.  This information has very little to do with work. It's more along the blatant gloating line...

The Castle.

Well 2012 has started with a bang. I have spent all of this week doing architecture exteriors and interiors. Stables, houses, castles commercial and corporate. Shelter for one and all.

Also I'm off to Australia in two weeks for two weeks.  Have work lined up for a bit then some beach and then some trams... whoop!

London 2011.

Here are a couple of images from the last shoot I did in London at the end of 2011.  This is Sylvia and Maggie. They will soon be some of the start of The Better Life Campaign.

Stay tuned.

2012

Happy New Year!

come fly with me

 as promised in my last update here are the portraits of Aileen Gauntlett for the Financial Times Magazine, at her home in Stirling.

Along with Aileen's Pan Am story in the F.T. I was shooting promo shots for Edinburgh's Sing in the City Choir also in flight...

Having folk jump about on trampolines was a delight I intend to repeat, so stay tuned...

My work with the JRF has come to an end... The 'Better Life' campaign will go live in January next year and is a gallery site of my images and story's of a range of older folk who are categorized as 'high needs'. They seemed completely independent to me. We had a great time working together and got everything JRF needed.

still life in the year yet

Well it's been ages but there has been HEAPS going on.  Still working on the Better Life campaign for JRT. Which has seen me shooting portraits in London, Wolverhampton and Chesterfield. I am off to Glasgow then back to London and Brighton at the start of next week to finish off the project.

ITV's Britain's Best Dish is under way. I got my hands on a copy of the book I shot food and portraits for.  I'm delighted! It looks great.  Christmas is coming so grab a copy for the household chef.







I have also just had a new website launched! Thanks to the good folk at livebooks.

Today I have been shooting portraits for the Financial Times in Stirling.  I photographed Aileen Gauntlett who held the lofty title of Pan Am Air Hostess.  It was a very sought after job which carried with a good deal of responsibility.  Pan Am girls were considered the best and better...
(I'll put an image up after it's gone to press.)
