The Challenge - a short film

2012 has been a great and exciting year for me, a busy year, a year of trying out new things and learning new tricks.

I wasn't sure where to start with this update, there's been so many new things to post but I thought I'd start with this, since it's a nice change for my blog.

Recently I've been asked to direct movies, dramas and pop promos all of which are still in the making, I was even asked to present a tv program about photography ( watch this space ).

The Challenge is a short lifestyle film, shot by a good friend of mine Michael Heffernan.

The Challenge is the story of three very bored kids who transform their day with a contest that sees them exploring home, garden, and beach.

My part in this short film was to edit, structure, grade, do the sound and remix the track to suit the film.

Barclays Bank

I don't normally put corporate work on my blog but I love this shot and I thought it would make a nice change and break from my usual portrait work. I'm extremely fortunate that my corporate clients also book me for the style that I love to shoot and I'm known for i.e. daylight and natural, keeping it real.

I'm always being asked to add some behind the scene shots of me at work but I never usually get the time to do so, but as I only had one person to shoot on this assignment, I thought I'd take the opportunity to have my assistant Paul take some behind the scene shots.

The photos were taken in the Barclay's head office in Canary Wharf and was shot for one of my American clients, a creative agency based in Boston. The photo is of Kara Larsen a Vice President at Barclay's Bank.

This is my favourite photo from the shoot.






















Here's the behind the scene shots.

Lisa Greenfield - Actress

Lisa Greenfield is a bubbly wee thing, great fun and always up for a laugh. Lisa has been carving away at her acting career since 2008. Recently you'll have seen her in The Hour playing Sissy Cooper, Annabel in Eastenders and Zoe Perkins in Hacks

Graeme Dalling

I drove down to Brighton to shoot Graeme in his own home where he enjoys some great sea views from his balcolny. Graeme is playing alongside Stephanie Powers at the moment in "On Golden Pond" written by American playwright Ernest Thompson.
