Back in June I was invited to photograph the University of Derby Fashion Show (this is something I started doing whilst at University myself, and I'm very happy they keep asking me back!)

I teamed up with photographers Ewan Mathers and Lawrence de Gruchy who covered the catwalk whilst I ran about backstage photographing what goes on behind the scenes. It's all pretty manic and you have to be on your toes but it's so much fun, here are some of my final images:

 

This shoot for designer Leanne was something quite different to what I've done before! The collection was made up of four neon lycra dresses, the plan was to head to the coast and shoot the outfits up on the cliffs so that's exactly what we did! After one very early start and three hours stood on the top of a cliff with a pop up tent and a very cold model, we managed to get some great shots. Here are a few of the final selection..

Tara Williams' all white collection was an absolute joy to photograph - beautifully tailored and exuding elegance. Our location for the day was Wollaton Hall, here are some final shots..

I photographed Yvette's wedgwood inspired collection on a very dreary day at the stunning Stowe Landscape Gardens. Luckily, the rain held off and we managed to get everything done that we had planned!

'Drumming in the Mud' is the title of designer Kate Wrigglesworth's collection. Influenced by Glastonbury, the shoot had a real festival theme to it - complete with pop up tent and VW Campervan! Here are some of the final images:

After four crazy weeks of photoshoots, MUA Sian Revill and myself decided to do some personal work and have a little experiment in the studio! Sian had some ideas she'd be waiting to try out and any excuse to work with her and two gorgeous models is good by me. Here's a couple of behind the scenes snaps, watch this space for the upcoming video (by my very talented videographer friend Lara)




 

Managed to get my hands on a couple of copies of Unique Bride Magazine - very happy to have some of my work printed in the first issue!
