This was taken at a wedding in the spectacular Draper’s Hall in London. Wedding photography has allowed me to see some spectacular places, and I think the Draper’s hall is the most beautiful building I’ve ever had the privilege to shoot in. The elaborate decor really suited Sehere & Moin’s wedding, as they used red and gold as their colour theme. They were a lovely & very sweet couple, as you can see from the photo!

I took this portrait of Di during the look book shoot for Olivia Hunter. She was one of the best models I’ve ever worked with, and barely needed any direction.

Another shot from the look book shoot for Jessie. The area we shot in was a slightly run down industrial estate in Tottenham, London. Bit of history of the place, this is a couple of minutes away from where Mark Duggan was shot dead by police in 2011, which led to a protest, which in turn escalated into rioting, and started the 2011 England riots. The area’s had a big investment & redevelopment project since the riots, and it’s actually a pretty great place to live (though I’m somewhat biased!).

The final outfit shot for Olivia’s look book. I absolutely loved shooting this collection, the colours and ideas were crazy in the best kind of way. And yes, that is a pink fabric poodle around her neck.

Another look from the shoot for Olivia Hunter. Such a fan of Olivia’s work, she’s got incredible attention to detail, I think she’s destined for some BIG things! This is another shot along Portobello Road, attempting to not get hit by passing cars. We were really lucky with the weather that day, shooting in London is always a gamble with the weather!

Another shot from the look book. This was taken on a fairly busy junction on Portobello Road, so this outfit shoot was done in between dodging cars & other pedestrians, and I almost had a collision with a man on a bike! But I think it was worth it for the shots we got.

Another from the look book for Olivia, from Kingston University. Along Portobello Road, and a few roads that run off it, lots of the houses are pastel colours. We were lucky to find a bright pink house that went perfectly with this coat Olivia had designed.

Another shot from the look book for Kingston student Olivia. This is actually the entrance to someone’s flat, and unfortunately, during this outfit shoot, one of the shoppers thought you had to press their doorbell to get into the shop underneath. A minute later we get a rather pissed off flat occupant opening the door. Luckily, we had got the shot we wanted, to legged it to the next location!

This is from another look book for a finalist at Kingston University. Olivia’s designs are incredible, really bright with beautiful details. We shot this outfit along with five others along Portobello Road in London and we’re lucky that the forecasted rain didn’t appear, but we had sunshine instead! For those unaware, Portobello Road is a road that runs through the area of London known as Notting Hill. It’s famous for it’s eclectic shops, big weekend market and brightly coloured houses. The team were brilliant, and it’s definitely one of the funnest shoots I’ve worked on.
Unsurprisingly, I couldn’t get this song out of my head throughout the shoot! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYBECKl0zFo
