Although shooting in a studio provides far fewer challenges, I much prefer shooting nudes outdoors.

The idea behind this sequence was to take a glamorous model and contrast her with a less than glamorous backdrop, such as this motel room in Basingstoke. It is about contrast, and how we can still be what we … Continue reading →

Lenina (or Violet – she uses both) was one of the most relaxed models I have ever worked with on a shoot like this. Comfortable in her own skin and comfortable in the environment she was a joy to … Continue reading →

This was a shoot that almost never happened, as I got stuck in a five-hour tailback on the motorway on the way there. I eventually arrived, hot (it was baking that day), sunburned (I had the roof down), and … Continue reading →
