Digital Photographer magazine publication

At the very end of 2010 I was approached by Digital Photographer magazine, asking if they could use one of my images and my thoughts on the subject in an article discussing the current trend in photographers (especially younger ones) processing their digital shots to look like film. I was so flattered to be given this opportunity and nearly died of excitement when the latest issue dropped through my door the other week!

The article is called "The Digital Revival of Film" and is published in Issue 105 which is on sale right now.

I apologise for the terrible scans - I always have trouble scanning magazines in and I always get that annoying blurry out of focus bit at the edge! If you'd like to see the articles a bit bigger, just click the images.

Photo day with Rosie Hardy and Alex Cameron

At the end of last week, I met up with Rosie and Alex for a photo day. I always love to collaborate and meet up with other photographers, it's always great fun and I love being able to rattle on about photography without making anybody fall asleep!

Due to annoying coach times, we only had a few hours together but it was definitely worth it - we all went home with cards full of pictures and fit in many more outfits and locations than I thought would be possible in the time we had. As always with photo days, it was incredibly inspiring and I can't wait to meet the two of them again (even if it involves me having to pose in a freezing lake again for the sake of art!)

Here are just a few of the shots I took of them - they both make wonderful models. I'm in the process of finishing a few more but I just couldn't wait any longer to blog about this unfortunately!

And last but not least, a few little out-takes and behind the scenes shots!

If you're not familiar with Rosie or Alex's work, I highly recommend you check out their beautiful portfolios - you won't be disappointed, promise!

Colour

I've never really been one to take sunset photos, but I just couldn't resist this when I was on my way back from the Post Office yesterday. It's weird, but I always find I shoot my best personal work walking through the woods on my way back from posting letters and Ebay items!

And a bit more nature-related personal work (as all my personal work seems to be!) I shot the close up rose shot with the reverse lens macro technique - I don't really ever have much use for it but it's really cool to experiment with!
