    Recent Published Work

    The truth is, with my work syndicated internationally, I don't get to see even a fraction of my photos which are published. Occasionally I get a heads up from a friend or someone in the industry (as happened with the double page spread in Spin magazine below), but it's usually only by looking at my sales reports that I get any idea of what's being used where. And even then it would take a whole lot chasing up of time and effort to get hold of the published piece.
    The following cuttings I stumbled across while looking through the UK papers. It's really important as a photographer to look through as many papers and mags as possible to understand how photos are used, which pics they're choosing and why.

    Spin magazine (double page spread!)


    Coldplay in the London Lite


    Girls Aloud in the Evening Standard


    Alice Delall topless in the Daily Star (no surprise the Star chose to use this)


    Pussycat Dolls in The London Paper

    Updates. I'm back!

    Right, I haven't been blogging for the past two months, mainly through being really busy and losing my rhythm. From now on, because of my workload I'm not going to try to blog after every job, instead write more in depth once or twice a week with the highlights of the jobs I've been working on.
    Also you'll notice I've included my twitter feed at the top of the blog, so you follow what I'm doing on a daily basis, both photographically and personally.
    Finally, February and March has been very pleasing months for quality of pictures, so I'm post my highlights below.

    Fashion Week proved to work out really well for me in February.












    February was a very busy month and along with Fashion Week included the Brit Awards.





    Big name stars to have walked the red carpet over the past few months have included Julia Roberts, looking very unglamorous in a black suit, and Jennifer Aniston.



    Familiar faces also featured as I shot Peter (as he now wants to be called) Doherty in concert and Amy Winehouse appearing at court.



    Glamour came in the form of a Moet party with appearances from Scarlett Johansson and Eva Herzigova, whose picture below I would rate amongst the best I've taken this year.





    I also joined Spandau Ballet on HMS Belfast as they announced their comeback.
