Bloodlust Ball

Just sent off the images i shot on Halloween for a company based in London called The Button Club. They hold a ball every year called the Bloodlust Ball which i strongly recommend you all try and attend next year. Met some great people and had a fantastic night. Here are a few images i got, was a particularly well organised event with amazing food, over 500 guests, numerous celebrities and of course the paparazzi out the front. Thanks for having me Kaja and hopefully see you there again next year!

One night of Affliction

Had a friend from Australia's band come and play a show in Leeds on thursday night. Show and the evening was absolute mayhem and have to congratulate the guys on their amazing performance. Thanks for having me along guys. Hope you enjoy the pics, more will be available from their myspace page soon.

Back to the Drawing board

After nearly 6 months without shooting in the studio i was back in there last week to shoot a cover for a design student's (Sarah Johnston) folio/book project. Was great to be back in the studio. More to come from this project soon.

The beauty of Film

I feel that post processing of images has been taken too far over the last few years. Nothing you see is real anymore, maybe i'm a realist but i wonder when the art of photography changed from its original intention of 'replicating reality' till now with its ability to often appear 'more real' than reality itself. Don't get my wrong photoshop is great however i have been browsing over the photographers images that i like and have come to realise that i appreciate someone's ability to keep post processing to a reasonable limit but still produce images that are new and different. i have recently rediscovered my love of film for its beautiful aesthetic quality. I hope you enjoy the above image (the colour cast is a mixter of a flash gel and a broken scanner) which i have come across while searching for images on my hard-drive for an upcoming project.

Stumble

Just stumbled across this interesting image that changes as you scroll the mouse from the top to bottom. It is an interesting interactive way to look at a photograph. It was taken in Singapore by a photographer named Stephen. Thats all i have been able to find out about him so far but i will be sure to update the rest of his details when i can find them.
