I recently had the pleasure of shooting an image for the Boho Model Agency Calendar. A total of 12 photographers and 12 models were there for the day in what turned out to be a very positive experience, there was a great sense of support and collaboration from all involved. It was also good to meet up with people whose work I had seen on line and finally be able to put a face to the moniker. The theme for the whole calendar was white, I was teamed up with model Jenny Clewlow for the shoot which was great as we had already worked together and had a good rapport going. The shot involved several different elements which would hopefully come together to make the final image, a dynamic pose, strong backlighting, smoke, wind and metres of flowing material!! As you can imaging this wasn’t a one take deal and it took us a while to get the shot we wanted, but looking back I’m really happy with the result. Big thank you to all at Banana, the models and togs involved who all contributed to what proved to be an excellent day.

Eric Murphy Exhibition, Banana Studio, Newcastle
On Sunday I had a drive up to Newcastle to see the latest project of Banana Studio’s main man Eric Murphy. Despite the weather there was a good turn out and it was good to catch up with a few familiar faces. His latest project was a series of portraits of some “colourful” people from the area, shot in their natural habitat. The results were an eye catching range of images that were full of interest and character, there was lots to admire in the creativity and technical ability that had gone into the making of these images, the processing was really cool too.
