Here are some I made earlier

I can’t wait to show the images from my recent shoots in Dublin, as I have a feeling there are some really good ‘uns on the way, but, in the meantime, I thought I’d post a few from previous shoots with dbimages in County Wicklow – Des and I were flicking through our previous efforts when I shot with him a couple of weeks ago and discovering all sorts of gems he’d overlooked before (this always happens, I find)… When you work with someone for two days straight (as Des and I usually do), there are WAY too many shots to process, so looking back with fresh eyes is always fun. Anyway, here are a few that slipped through the net first time around, and new shots from the recent trip will be here soon!

Carl Grim, featuring Ivory Flame

I’m home from shooting in Dublin (more on that trip at a later date, I’m sure!) and flying to Spain tomorrow, so thought I’d sneak in another quick blog entry while I have the chance. These images were taken in March by photographer Carl Grim in Reading. This was my second shoot with the model Ivory Flame, who remains an inspiration to me as well as now being a friend. Hope you like them!

You think it’s just a normal day…

… Just hanging out in the studio with Mark Bigelow, standing on one leg, playing with shapes and silhouettes against an azure sky, merrily enjoying the space and the urge to explore the possibilities of oriental fingers…

Little (until afterwards) do you realise a little Ivory Flame-shaped ninja floating into the scene and hovering quietly behind you, ominously gravity-defying and waiting to pounce. This is actually how she entered the studio, you may assume.

(Dear Holly: This is the image I was talking about today.)

Seconds later, I got my own back (kind of):

Fun times!

… And still a LOT more to come from different sets.

This might sound immediately weird to anyone who doesn’t know instantly what I’m talking about, but some of these images remind me, for some reason, of little sand pictures of lizards I once bought in Tenerife.

Swish, Sway and Storm

Here are some recent shots from time spent with the wonderful, now Oxford-based, Mark Bigelow. We still have plenty more to do and I enjoyed it even more than the first time around. Mark even got to sample my terrible driving, which he was very polite about. For a spatially-aware person I am not very spatially aware.


The last one reminds me of the ocean – tumultuous/turbulent and moody (like all good oceans). I think the skirt (tied material) looks like liquid in some of the shots too.
