Mr and Mrs Hayward

A lovely spring day at Tudor Lodge in Eastcote saw Zoe and Alan become Mr and Mrs Hayward.
It was an intimate venue, full of character, with beautifully thought out details and flowers, gypsophelas are so pretty. 
Zoe and Alan couldn't wait to get married and their happiness was so infectious, you couldn't help but smile, I was honoured to be a part of such a special day.
Congratulations again to the happy couple!

Childrens portraiture

For my first childrens portrait shoot, I was fortunate to have two adorable and very well behaved children as my subjects. Amelie and Joshua were naturals and Amelie even showed me what it's like to be a fairy. It looks like it's a bit tiring!

 

 

Banksy in NYC

While I was in New York, so was Banksy, he has been doing something new everyday during October. http://www.banksyny.com 
Ive never seen a real life Banksy before, so to see one that has been there a matter of hours was quite exciting. It was a concrete confessional, such a clever idea and it worked really well. It was down a side street, inside a concrete slab and it would have been easy to miss had it not been surrounded by people. This was just one of the many cool things we experienced in New York, I love it there!

Models at MelenStudios

Had a great day honing my portrait skills at MelenStudios yesterday. Thanks to Phil for organising it all, and to the three fantastic models, who were lovely and an absolute pleasure to work with. 

This is a perfect opportunity to work using your creativity with different equipment, using different set ups and locations, and gives you the chance to get some great shots for your portfolio. 

I would definitely do another one of these days and I recommend it to anyone who wants to practice portraiture. 

Here are some of the shots I got;

Private lives for public consumption

Has Arne Svenson violated his neighbours privacy?

I personally like the idea and think the images have been done in a very artistic way. Its very clever, taking everyday activities and turning them into art, saying that though, I'm not sure how I would feel if someone had a telefoto lens aimed at my window!
