This evening I had the pleasure of shooting my first band - Guns to Caviar - as they rehearsed at some practice rooms close to work.  These are just some preliminary shots with little to no post.  I just wanted to get some up so the guys could have a look.  Expect more soon!

All these images were taken during a wee road test of the new Nikon D90.  They were shot at 1600 ISO using aperture priority.  From what I’d heard, the high ISO performance on the new Nikon cameras was supposed to be excellent, but I’m really very dissapointed with these images in that respect.  There doesn’t [...]

This is my buddy Ross. I’m doing a website for him at the moment and he wanted a few formal shots taken to go on his bio page. As with quite a number of the shoots I do, the actual shots that meet the brief of the project aren’t that interesting to me. They’re professional [...]

This is a picture of Natasha Lomas. It’s a portrait taken using a long focal length in order to compress the background and close the space between subject and surroundings. It was taken using a Canon 20D camera and processed using adobe lightroom and photoshop.

This is an image of a woman walking over London Bridge in the City of London. She is texting someone on her mobile phone.

This is an image that shows a man I once met named Hugo, who lives in a warehouse that he occasionally throws big parties at to help pay the rent. In the image you can see Hugo sitting behind a counter, talking to someone off camera; behind him is a large array of audio equipment - speakers, cables, reel-to-reel tape players - and some cargo netting.

An image of Ben Sale. It shows a portrait of my old friend Ben Sale, taken against a brick wall. It was taken using a Bowens GM250 flash head to light the left hand side, and processed in Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop.

An image of Chris Beaumont’s feet dangling into the sky. Processed using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is [...]

This is an image of Rich Trenholm of CNET.co.uk. He is enduring the setup preparation for the recording of a video review of a digital camera.

This is an image of Rory Reid, PCs Editor for CNET.co.uk. It is a studio portrait, shot using a Canon 30D and lit with three Bowens GM250 flash units.

Some shots I took for a SmartPlanet.com feature; asking people on the streets what they thought of World Environment Day.

A demonstration of how to acheive balance between a tungsten white balance and a CTO gelled flash light.

A shot taken for the Strobist Lighting assignment, “Work That CTO”. This image was taken by setting my cameras white balance to tungsten and then using a CTO gelled flash gun to light the main subject, giving a blue colour cast to the scene overall, while maintaining correct colours on the subject.
