Cherrelle Jefferson For Image 34

Recently I shot the third cover for the beautiful Cherrelle Jefferson.

Such a nice girl and here is the cover picture!







 The shoot went so well and I think the photographs are some of my best. Cherrelle is such a nice girl to work with and really deserves all the credit she can get.


You can also watch the behind the scenes video which shows how the shoot went here.

I can't wait to show you all the other behind the scenes videos.

Most Like To Photograph 2012

So last year I did a post on the people I would most love to photograph.Well here I am again doing my 2012 list. To view the 2011 list and to see if it has changed click here

So here we go.

1. Miley Cyrus - At the top spot for another year running! The beautiful Miley Cyrus. Again would be a dream to do a shoot with her and one day I know I will.



2. Rosie Huntington Whitley - Still at my number two spot is Rosie. She is such an incredible model and I love the fact she comes from a farm in Cornwall and has worked her way up.



3. Emma Stone - Climbed my list like crazy. When I put her on my list last year she had only done a couple of films and its so good to see how she has grown! Its so good to see and I swear she can't look bad in anything.



4. Cher Lloyd - I met Cher at her album launch party and have been a massive fan of hers from the start. She was so nice and has a great face. Would be a dream to shoot her.



5. Lana Del Rey - Why wouldn't you. Lana first grated on me with Video Games. However when I heard the rest of her album I have been gripped to that woman ever since. She is a creative genius and has such a beautiful face.



6. Kylie Minogue - is back! Again like most people on this list I will always want to photograph this lady.



7. Paloma Faith - This crazy woman has such a unique style. I watch her behind the scenes photoshoots and think she would be so much fun to work with!



8. Lea Michelle - One of the most natural beauties I can think of. I don't think she can ever take a bad photograph.



9. Lady GaGa - This crazy woman never stops. I have also loved her from the start and remember getting her first album the day it came out. I also saw her in concert for only £20 and I don't think there is many of you little monsters who can say that you have done both those things.

 

10. Alexandra Burke - What a beautiful clever woman. She has a great figure with great morals on life. Its good to see her making a stand up and moving management! Good on you girl!

Sapphire Elia Cover Shoot For Image 34 Magazine

 

Finally I have found some time to update you all on this blog.

So recently I shot the beautiful actress Sapphire Elia for the cover of Image 34 magazine.
The shoot day itself was so good. It was such a pleasure working with the whole team and Sapphire. We managed to shoot in a lovely manor house in surrey. It just brought the photographs to life. 

Sapphire was amazing and got right into the photographs and the concept of the shoot and was such a pleasure to work with. As were my trusty usual team. With Alex Hardman on the styling doing an amazing job which I think you will all agree on. As well as Bobbie Ross working her magic and giving the photographs an edge with her make up skills. Then Sam Milletti who did the behind the scenes video. Capturing all the amazing moments of us all working together which will be up very soon.

You can check out the images in the second issue of Image 34 here.

So again a massive thank you to the team and I hope you all like the photographs.

Bank Holiday

I had a very very busy bank holiday.

Mine started on the Friday in London recording a music video for two rappers. I was doing unit stills for Milletti Films but I can't show you any of them just yet.

Then on the Saturday I got to shoot the wonderful Sapphire Elia in a beautiful Manor House in surrey. I will write up my own blogpost for this though.

Then I was editing all of Sunday which then lead to an early start on Monday when we drove down to the edge of the world. I was helping scount a location for another music video which I will be doing unti stills for. But in the afternoon I did a photoshoot for Velvet Blush which will be coming very soon. This will also get its own blogpost about the day. But you can check out one of the sneak peak photographs here.

So yes very quick post but just gives you an insight into what I have been up to.

In The Studio With Elena Hargreaves

Hello everyone!



Hope you are all doing well. Last week I went into the studio to cover the behind the scenes for Elena Hargreaves. She is currently recording her new E.P which will be avaiable to buy soon and I will post a link when it is. 

I had a great day in the studio with Elena and her band which included Ed Sillars, Elliot Coombs and Adam Millest as they worked on the tracks. It was nice to be in a studio enviroment to see people playing so passionatley. They all worked great as a team and it sounded amazing. The shots I got are great and I can't wait to show you them all later.
