Having spent the day travelling from location to location for Allgood it was an amazing sight to walk into this luxury hotel. We were in London photographing case studies in hotels, hospitals and luxury apartments. Hospitality was amazing even though we were not ‘paying guests’.

The bathroom ………… I could live in it and if you were feeling very friendly the bath would accommodate about 4 people.

Note to me………….keep buying the lottery tickets.

Being more of a rugby fan I did not know what to expect as footballers are usually given bad press. However without exception the all come across as very likeable and helpful individuals.

To my surprise Ashley Cole was happy to give autographs and pose for photos, even with yours truly !

Having worked with Marshall Amplification for many years it was a privilege just recently to meet Jim again last month for the 50th Anniversary photo shoot.

Not easy getting over 150 people into the reception area at Marshall’s factory especially when I could not remove the entrance wall !

However with a bit of camera magic – even though I had a 17mm wide ultra wide angle lens – I managed to stitch 3 shots together to create this wonderful historic image.

The Marshall name will live on forever and Jim as the Father of Loud.

Natal’s creative studio manager Steve needed a stunning image to impress visitors at Frankfurt Music Fair. The image was going to be over 3 meters wide and would be a major feature to the stand.

Having discussed various ideas before the shoot we had planned a series of images using beams of light steaming up from beneath the drummer Carl. An idea emerged that we might be able to use dry ice flowing from the drums for a sunning effect.

Three kilo’s of dry ice was delivered and with the top skins of the drums removed great care was taken to mount various size containers into each drum.

With a couple of extra pairs of hands the dry ice was dropped into the containers and with some urgency the images were taken with Carl pretending to play. After about eight attempts we were delighted with the images.

I think the results speak for themselves?

Thanks to Steve, Carl, Simon, Andrew and Heather.

To host the photography of Sahara Force India 2012 F1 car was a real privilege. With the team being under extreme pressure at the start of the season it was decided that the shoot would take place overnight. Starting at 21.00 hours and continuing till around 03.00am.

Although light the car was very long and moving it around required removal of the nose section and four people.

stop motion film was taken of the whole evening which can be viewed on Sahara Force India web site ……www.forceindiaf1.com/…..or on Facebook

Although my studio with its drive in cove would have been ideal for this project having four or five cars to photograph it would have been too risky and time consuming to drive them to the studio, especially during a wet week in December.

Northampton agency Engine Creative created TV and media advertising for the university and promote the success of their alumni.
Jon Brown a noted comedy writer of the hit comedy The Mongrels had won the BAFTA for Break Through Talent.

If your anywhere within 50 miles of Northampton over the next few months it will be difficult not to notice the adverts and poster campaign, and look out for the adverts on sides buses.

Hair and makeup artist Kamanza did a great job transforming models Sylvia,Victoria, Marilyn and the two male models Dejan and Christophe.

The studio was a hive of activity with upstairs being used for hair, make up, styling and props room.

Not quite what my client SEAT asked when they commissioned me to take a series of images for their forthcoming ‘drop everything’ ad campaign. The brief was to freeze frame various items that you might drop as a shock reaction to hearing unbelievable car deals.

Specialised ultra fast flash systems were hired in for the shoot and the session started with my assistant Andrew dropping a cup full of coffee (deliberately). Amazing patterns were created from several items including the coffee, cornflakes, fresh eggs and paint. My favourite has to be the paint tin and the paint brush as it only took two attempts to get the image required and without retouching…..great fun.

I would like to start by thanking all my clients for making last year so successful.

Just before Christmas I managed to find a slot for my plasterer Gary from Absolute (01296 712235) to repair some damage to the cove and it now looks as good as new. Thanks Gary
