'Look of the Christmas week'








This week's 'Look of the week' image for Browns and as it's Christmas a few behind the scenes images from the shoot too... 
This shoot was absolutely freezinggg probably the coldest of the whole year!, but as it was my suggestion that Hyde Park was going to be the location for the shoot, I had to stick to my guns, stay positive and get the shots we needed...thanks to Adam and Amy we got shot in no time!

The Lampshades





A few images from a recent promo shoot with 'The Lampshades' aka Lulu and the Lampshades. 
The idea for the shoot originated from a photograph the band found entitled 'Psycho magnetic curves' , The image came from Colonel Dinshah P Ghadiali who in 1920 invented the Spectro-Chrome. The Spectro-Chrome was a simple aluminium colour projector, its creator claimed it had a miraculous power. It was believed that by focusing a specific colour on a particular part of the body at an exact time of day – which he catalogued in a series of regional astrological timetables - you could cure almost any malady... 
The band liked the image and asked if we could do something based on it for the shoot... After a chat over a roast dinner it was decided we'd try and replicate the image through projection to create individual portraits and version of themselves. It was a fun and relaxed day shooting in the studio, experimenting with different ideas and lighting, this the result.

The Lampshades are currently recording some new material, looking forward to hearing the new sounds in the new year...

Daughter&Friends Christmas show




A few photos from the Daughter&Friends Christmas show lastnight in London. 
The line-up was a feast with Jamie Lay, Lindsay West, Kyla La Grange and Bear's Den also playing...The venue was the cosy and atmospheric st Giles in the fields Church with Christmas trees and fairy lights surrounding the stage. We had the pleasure of watching them perform a bunch of old and new songs, Elena's mesmeric voice was backed up by an awesome production creating some incredibly epic sounds, at times you could have heard a pin drop, chillingly beautiful.
I got there just in time to catch Bear's Den and Daughter play, here's a few photos from the night.

'Love' was probably my favourite from the evening!
