Trees and Tree climbers
Wimbledon common is possibly one of the most fantastic places I’ve shot yet. It’s full of dark, secluded places and twisty trees, little paths and gullies and all sorts of places that a photographer like me – on another day and with more lights available – could spend weeks shooting in (if you’re not clear [...]
Engagement Shoot: Melissa & Fabrizio
When planning last week’s trip to London, I decided that one of the shoots that I simply had to do was an engagement shoot with my friend Melissa and her fianceé Fabrizio. I’ve known Melissa for about ten years, and if memory serves me right she and Fabrizio have been together since about 2002 (I’m open [...]
