Vicar in a Tutu.

The First Men in the Moon.

2012-01-24T07:23:00.000-08:00

Been wanting to play with really old Photos for a while, pretty tough to get looking how I wanted...
Loosely based on the H.G. Wells novel 'The First Men in the Moon'.

Is it Photography? Is it Illustration? hmmm

Here is the original shot of the man that was used, found in a set of Victorian Cabinet Cards, from around 1880!

House of ££££

2012-01-19T03:01:00.000-08:00

Here is a recent commission that's just come out for the lovely people at Which? magazine. Was a lot of fun to work on!

Still Life.

2012-01-17T03:19:00.000-08:00

Been working hard on some new still life shots for the portfolio, went pretty much all out on the otherworldly foliage!

Making of...

2011-12-20T03:35:00.000-08:00

Had a really great response to the 'Animal Portrait' series, with a lot of people asking how they were made..
Well here are 4 different shots that went into making the Horned-Cow image, they were then comped together, colour corrected and colour graded, along with some magic ;-)

And Now for Something Completely Different.

2011-12-06T02:00:00.000-08:00

The Giraffe image here started as a test shot for something more complex that I want to shoot, but I love it and decided to turn it into a little series of animal portraits...

Giraffes

Ankole (Horned Cow)

Lion

Ostrich

Rhino

Think this is just about finished, its to go with the Lemonade shot, think they look pretty sweet as a pair!

Anatomy of an Owl.

2011-10-27T10:58:00.000-07:00

These are the tiny watch cogs, leaves and twigs that make up the entire image (apart from the stars).

Limited Edition prints of the Owl pic can be purchased HERE :-)

2011-10-20T09:21:00.000-07:00

Nissan Leaf

2011-10-12T04:55:00.000-07:00

Came up with these last week, Nissan Leaf, get me?

Lighting Test.....

2011-10-05T03:55:00.000-07:00

Did a quick lighting test yesterday as I had an Idea for a cool Still-life shot. Its pretty rough but I'm liking the look of this so I think the final image will look pretty cool!

Love me nots.

2011-09-23T07:31:00.000-07:00

Been working on these for the last couple of weeks, my interpretation of love me nots. (like when you were a kid and you pulled the petals off of flowers, remember? No? Just me then.)
Not sure they will make it to the website but they would make lovely prints ;-)

Safari Park.

2011-09-22T05:18:00.000-07:00

Went to West Midlands Safari Park a few weeks ago, its awesome. Got some pics of animals looking silly.

Shot Up North Awards.

2011-08-30T05:35:00.000-07:00

I Recently found out that my 'Bubo the Owl' image has been chosen to be in the Final 50 of the SUN AWARDS. It will feature in their shiny new book when it comes out, who knows it might even win, buts its in there with a lot of top work!

Smoothies!

2011-08-02T03:33:00.000-07:00

Everyone likes a smoothie...can you guess the flavours?

Behind the scenes...

2011-07-26T12:21:00.000-07:00

Here is a short video showing a bit of an insight into how my images are constructed!
Would have been cool if I had kept all the cogs as separate layers but that probably would have killed me.

E-Book Readers!

2011-07-18T04:52:00.000-07:00

Here is a recent commission for WHICH? Magazine, the brief was to photograph the 3 e-book readers and then create covers for each one out of different bank notes... Love how it turned out!

Mild green, Fairy liquid!

2011-07-18T04:44:00.000-07:00

Recent pic experimenting with making a flower out of a bottle.... The stem is actually fairy liquid, all shot seperatly and comped together :-)

Camera Obscura.

2011-06-16T06:51:00.000-07:00

A month or so ago I entered a Camera Obscura competition... Camera Obscura is an American Photography and Literature Journal.
Anyway, turns out they wanted to use my 'Clockwork Owl' image on the cover which is pretty darn ace.

Carnivorous plants.

2011-05-03T03:18:00.000-07:00

I've always thought Carnivorous plants were cool.
Some of the ones that exist are really beautiful, but, here is my tongue-in-cheek interpretation! Enjoy.

Clockwork!

2011-03-11T04:45:00.001-08:00

Been working on some new pictures, made from tiny watch parts!

Bubo the Owl.

Bird of Prey!

And here is the owl with animated eyes... HYPNO-OWL!

Think she turned into a Hobbit.

Time Out London.

2011-02-14T14:48:00.000-08:00

This came out today (Valentines Day). Made for the good people at Time Out London. I am really happy with it, hope it goes down well!

My image...

and the actual cover... BOOM.

More Which?

2011-02-14T14:41:00.000-08:00

Here is the Mag in situ...

This is the shot that I wanted them to use on the cover but it ended up being the one at an angle... I like this one more.

The Big Issue.

2011-01-25T02:07:00.000-08:00

I did a quick job for the Big Issue last week, there was 24 hour turnaround on the whole thing but I'm really pleased with how it looks. It is alongside an article about 'Happiness'. Everyone should go and buy it, its such a good cause!

And here it is in situ

Which? Magazine.

2011-01-25T02:02:00.001-08:00

I have been lucky enough to do some work for Which? magazine recently, they are super good people... They wanted an image to go with an article on 'Brands Reconstructed' (brands that own other brands you might not expect.... Anyway they liked the image I produced so much they asked me to do the cover image for the same issue, stoked!

This is the feature image.

And this is the Cover image :-)

My Website

2011-01-25T02:00:00.000-08:00

I have contacted the hosts and apparently its a problem there end that is being fixed asap. :-)

MOtion.

2011-01-04T04:05:00.000-08:00

Lunar Life!

2011-01-04T03:29:00.000-08:00

Not really, here is a pic I made but don't think I really like it, shit as it took bloody ages!

Interview in F2 Magazine

2010-11-08T05:24:00.000-08:00

Fractalgrams.

2010-07-12T05:30:00.000-07:00

Been working on some new still life stuff, a progression from the other Fractal images I did...

My eyes hurt

2010-06-28T14:56:00.000-07:00

Wait for them to spiiiinnn!

Landscapes.

2010-06-25T03:07:00.000-07:00

Forgot how much I love shooting regular(ish) Landscapes!

Space..

2010-06-25T03:03:00.000-07:00

I love space.

I have wanted to take good pictures of stars for ages, I recently went to Spain and the nights were darrrrrk. I have mirrored them because the single images are not the best quality and the way I have done it technically makes it 4 times the size so you don't see as much noise. (plus I think it looks cool) You can see the Milky Way in the top one, and in the bottom one full-res you can see another Galaxy...

Faces...

2010-06-25T03:00:00.000-07:00

I have done a whole bunch of these but I'm still not sure if I like them?

Firework Jewels..

2010-05-26T02:11:00.000-07:00

This was made recently for a UK Advertising agency to try and win the account of a major UK jewelers... unfortunately they didn't, but it was a fun image to make.

Tea Forté

2010-05-24T03:05:00.000-07:00

Here are some shots of Tea Forté I did, they make nice tea! and the bags looks goooood

The XX.

2010-05-24T03:02:00.000-07:00

Shot of the band 'The XX' again for 'Alt Press'. Short and sweet shoot but fun all the same!

Kong.

2010-05-24T02:58:00.000-07:00

Shot of the band 'Kong' for Alternative Press Magazine. This was for their 'bands to watch in 2010' issue. Very fun shoot and they were very nice chaps!

Fractals...

2010-04-19T06:09:00.000-07:00

"A fractal is "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,"^[1] a property called self-similarity." from Wikiiiiiiiii...

I have been liking these for a while now so I thought I would have a go at making some out of leaves... I dont think they are Fractals in the true sense but they look pretty cool and the original files are huge so you can zoooooom right in.

Valentine's Flowers.

2010-01-25T12:47:00.000-08:00

Because I'm a lover, not a fighter.

2009-07-27T02:49:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of things I did a while ago now but I thought I would put on here.

Shut up I'm dreaming.

2009-07-22T04:58:00.001-07:00

Just finished two new pictures, I like the more 'pastely' tones in these, not as in your face as the colours in some of my other flowery pictures...

alpha-bert.

2009-07-07T15:59:00.000-07:00

The wonderful people at Metcalfe Lancaster, whom happen to be my new Agent asked me to make the alphabet out of flowers so they can send out personal e-mails to people to get my work noticed. I obliged!

self portrait

2009-04-18T07:11:00.000-07:00

Here are two pictures that I just finished working on today, there kind of wierd self portraits but I really like the way they turned out.

its not fun trying to scan in feet... its really hard to keep feet perfectly still for 5 minutes!
