In the past few months I had the joy of photographing the beautiful miss Katrina Darling once again, but also the lovely Betty D'Light and Katy Kamikaze. Dee la Beau and her friend Ellen opted for a winter themed shoot in the Banana studios. Good times were there to be had by all!
My new year's resolutions for this year include a minimum of 20 portfolio shoots (any bright thoughts/ weird-ass ideas you want to see shot - bring it on!) and 30 paintings. I've made a good start and finished the first 3 paintings already :) The site has been updated with some different images, that I had taken in the past year(s), but never really gotten round to editing. Now I've got nothing left gathering dust and everything to be added will be fresh and new! I have taken the images off this front page, but will re-attach them again in seperate pages.

Just over a week ago, I was lucky enough to photograph miss Katrina Darling, a local model, pinup girl and burlesque performer. We've had so many good shots at the end, it made it very hard for both of us to decide on the best images.

After a recent spur of inspiration, I've made a couple of new pieces. The first two images are finished, the other two still need (a lot of) work. I seem to getting more and more into ink drawings as it suits my style and the space in the house I have to work in. Also, zombies and gothic lolita seem to be featuring more often, only time will tell if this trend will persist.

Shoot today with Nicola aka 'Miss Tres Ooh la la' a young lady who is new to the burlesque industry. Since this was my first serious attempt at pin-up photograhy I should be quite pleased with the results. Obviously there is always room for improvement, but for a first go I am well chuffed :)
2nd August 2009
I have taken care of my old projects that were still lying around the house. The painting 'behind the gate' was started in 2006 if I am not mistaken! I will start making changes to the art and photography galleries to make adding new pieces quick and easy, without having to resort to various programmes.
Also
my 1st exhibition
is taking place this august. I am well chuffed that the good people of The Cluny (36 Lime street, ouseburn Valley, Newcastle upon Tyne) will allow me to put some of my paintings and photographs on their walls. Images will be up 3rd of August 2009 - 31st August 2009. All images displayed will be for sale.

In these past couple of months (time flies!) I've been doing a number of shoots with some models I met via the Model Mayhem website. I've started getting myself into digital art and back into painting. So I have updated this page (finally!) to keep everyone up to date *excuse the cheating with the dates* :)

The shoot with local model Iryna Bowman went smoothly, with many thanks to her husband Marcus. He drove us round and went through great effort to keep Iryna (and ourselves) as warm and comfortable as he could. We tried to go for an anime highschool girl look, with some shots inspired on Mamimi Samejima - a side character in FLCL. Not all the images of this shoot have been finished at this time of writing.
20th May 2009
Today's shoot was a non-specific studio shoot combining a generic portfolio and fantasy shoot loosely based on dolls, teaparties and Alice in Wonderland. We went with whatever outfits we could find, and some prop pieces gathered from my house
29th April 2009
The first shoot with my Canon 50D was today! I was well excited and ofcourse had the usual trouble finding all the needed options. All and all me and my model, Danial Harris, had a great day out in the city of Durham. We wanted to go for a generic 'anime bad guy' sort of a look, so we kept the styling clean. In the post-processing there was so much potential in the photos I decided to opt for different looks and feels to the images.
21st April 2009
At Burlington's and NewID I have taken the position of assistant head photographer, which means more work but the same pay as everyone else. I do get to train new staff which is always a joy :-) I have gotten myself a new camera, a Canon EOS 50D and am well chuffed with it. Am planning my first proper model shoot.
17th March 2009
I did a shoot today with the lovely Araminta Swan. She lives locally and was all for a shoot with an anime theme to it. Together we decided on Chi from Chobits, which turned out to be a great choice!

Hello, and welcome to my site.
In this section I will try to keep you up to date with all that is happening with me and my work.
Currently, I am working as a freelance photographer at Burlington's and New-ID in Newcastle upon Tyne doing mainly portrait, family, kids, baby and fashion photography. In my spare time I like to organise my own shoots within an anime/ manga/ fantasy theme.
