Royal Opera House, Hansel and Gretel

Very excited, have just seen the poster I shot for the Royal Opera house’s latest production of Hansel and Gretel on the tube!

Those are not actually feet in the image, Larry, the art director wanted the feet to hang, almost broken, so  we achieved this by getting a willing assistant to put a pair of shoes on his hands!

World Rally Championships

A welcome day off just watching the WRC – World Rally Championships in Cardiff. Great day and won by France’s Sebastien Loeb, his seventh consecutive title!

The most exciting part of the day was when we sat in Pizza Express in Cardiff city centre enjoying our dinner when all the rally cars passed our window on the way to the paddock for over night repairs.

Cyprus

Just returned from shooting destination images of the Akamas National Park in Cyprus. The Mediterranean can be as rough and as dramatic as the Atlantic when it wants to be as can be seen from these shots.

Luxury Penthouses, Boats and Sunsets in Portugal

Just returned from a brilliant five-day shoot in Portugal photographing luxury penthouses and boats on Portugal’s Algarve. I was lucky enough to squeeze in a trip to Cape St Vincent - the most westerly point of southern mainland europe and saw the sun go down along with 200 others!

Tiznit, Southern Morocco

Another great commission, this time shooting beautiful interiors in Tiznit, Morocco on the Atlantic coast but dealing with mad taxi journeys through barren scrub land, had its scary moments!

Here are few Iphone images of the rural villages we passed through on route.

Barbados for Virgin Atlantic

A mad four-day shoot in Barbados for Virgin Atlantic - what with dodging the tropical thunder storms, battling against 38C heat and 100% humidity,  we had great fun and captured the most amazing rainbows on our phones!

The following two pictures were taken 2 minutes apart…….from a beautiful, barmy, Barbados setting to a tropical rain storm and rainbows.

Check out the following footage…..we were all set for a shoot when the heavens opened!

A Day in Provence

Just returned from a luxury interior shoot in Provence shooting stunning villas and penthouses, unfortunately having had to sign a confidentiality agreement I am unable to post images of the house. However here are a few pictures from Valbonne a beautiful place to take a lunch break……

Azores. A place I won’t forget in a very long time and shall definitely be visiting again – August 2010

Having just spent the last two weeks photographing five of the nine islands that make up the Azores in the mid Atlantic, I can safely say it is a truely fantastic place to visit and photograph.

The island of Flores was simply beautiful with stunning green waterfalls 200 feet high and deep volcanic craters, every angle of these tiny island is a stunning photoraph, whats more its so inaccessable very few tourists have yet to discover it making feel even more like a lost gem in the vast Atlantic ocean.  Its neighbouring island of Corvo is the smallest island in the archipelago with only one town of a few hundred people, until only very recently before  the air strip was bult the island would be cut of fom the rest of the world for months on end during the winter, even now it can still be cut off for several weeks at a time.

When we attampyted to land on the island of Flores which was being ravaged by torrential rain and  fierce cross winds, our pilots had had to make 5 attempted landings  before successfully touching down on the very short water logged, down hill runway.  After the first few attempts I decided to film the landing on my IPhone, from the clip you will see how bad the visibility is as he approaches the sheer cliff top to find the beginning of the runway.
