Featuring ultra luxe fashion profiles, restaurants and the season’s must-have accessories from the world’s top writers and stylists. FELIX reaches some of the most elite and influential, engaged and discriminating readers in America.

Here's some behind the scenes photos for now and I'll publish some of the actual portrait and fashion shots for the magazine soon.

A special thanks to a brilliant creative team - Make-up Elizabeth Hsieh, Hair Eugene Davis, Stylist Irene Darko

Thanks also to two great Assistants - Kevin Baker and Paul Craig who worked damned hard setting up my kit and Paul for the great behind the scene shots below. Thanks to Chris too for holding the main reflector.

Lucas Hansen - Actor

Danish born Lucas Hansen, probably best known for "The Human Centipede (Full Sequence)" but has done loads of movies and has just been booked for a large TV show.

Thomas Kosmala

My recent shoot with Thomas Kosmala, Tom is a perfumer with some amazing and very expensive perfumes, even the box that the perfumes are sold in are made from solid lacquered wood.

I shot his portrait and his perfumes for his advertising campaign.

Portraits - front cover shots

Here are some recent portraits I shot for a client called Hult. I was asked to shoot various portraits for the covers of a world wide project.

Ray Quinn & his lovely wife Emma Stephens

This was an interesting shoot for me, I hadn't shot a couple for a while. Shooting Ray Quinn and
Emma Stephens was a pleasure. Former X Factor singer and Dancing on Ice winner Ray Quinn met his lovely wife Emma Stephens while appearing together in the London stage show Grease the musical.
