As a regular swing dancer, I am used to seeing a lot of amazingly dressed people at all the events I love to go to. As a result, I’ve been shooting a long term project on the vintage scene, which I really must finish soon……but that’s another story. As I do have a keen eye … Read More

Just a small sample from the party I photographed for Cepsa last week at 100 Wardour Street. This is the third year in a row I’ve shot for this very friendly Spanish company and it’s always a warm and fun event.

These vegetables (and fruit!) were so beautiful, I had to take them aside and shoot them. But how to approach it? Well I wanted a really simply set up that showed off the colours and form with no distraction. I opted for a low-key set up with a simple black back-drop and then remember some … Read More
