1. [planning and notes for todays fashion test in manchester]

    Phew. Long time no see! I’ve been so busy since i last posted, with photoshoots, moving flats in the almost-snow and a trip to cyprus! So i have lots of photos to share in the next little while.

     

  2. [the gorgeous location for today’s shoot! Bloody freezing though!]

     

  3. [just trying my hand at some surrealist nonsense :P this was quite fun/frustrating to make! I set myself some goals at the end of last year and so far I am roaring through them with great speed and motivation. it feels good!]

     

  4. [after days of gorgeous bright and hazy winter light, the rain has returned]

     

  5. [a little bit of frost and a lot of beautiful golden light this morning!]

     

  6. [I’ve finally been able to start putting together a lighting kit so that I can understand lighting a bit better. I hate taking photos of myself, but there’s no better way to practise. This is from my first play with my brand spanking new speedlite - rather dramatic, don’t you think?]

     

  7. [the view from my front door, 20 minutes ago! it’s icy this morning, too]

     

  8. [2011 in review. 12 months, 6 countries, 3 continents & 2 kiwis. This is the highlights reel, showing most of the fun stuff but not all of it, if you can believe it! :D Onwards and upwards for this year, more photos, more adventuring and more fun ahead!]

  10. [the wheel of manchester -is that even what it’s called?? & a sneaky lunchtime photomission -I do these somewhat regularly! taken with my HOLGA135]
