7th Man Magazine - Andrej Pejic

John-Paul Pietrus is a wonderful photographer who has photographed some of the most beautiful women around the world, so I was delighted when he agreed to do my acting head shots.

I always love working with JP but this shoot was particularly special because super model Andrej Pejic was due to be on set. He is currently the poster boy for fashion androgyny and I must say he is very striking in the flesh.

Harpers Bazaar

These shots are for the November issue of Harpers Bazaar which is out now. I was working with my lovely friend and fellow hand model Nic Clarkson and gorgeous model Jessi Ann Gravel Beland. Nails done by the fabulous Leighton Denny using Purely Platonic from his AW11 Atmospheric range.

PRESS - The Sun features The Big Hands

A super-sized camera cloth for a super-sized Nikon 1.

Nikon1 - Launching Thebighands.com

You know you love a job when the call time is 4.30am and you have a spring in your step! Forget that these 6 metre hands are mine for a second and just appreciate the concept and craftsmanship that went into the making of them. I just look up at them and think they're brilliant.

Kim and Sally at Brands2life weren't kidding about the cherry picker and once the light came up I was on it and cleaning the giant Nikon1 lens with Ginger from Specialist Models for company. Carl the photographer also had his turn on the cherry picker, which was not at all as scary as I thought it would be. Luckily I had the beautiful Sally-Ann to do my hair and makeup as I dread to think what I would have looked like at that time of the morning.

Nikon 1 - Making of thebighands.com

FINALLY...The launch has been and gone and it's safe to talk about it! After driving my family and friends mad, I can now reveal that the job I've been working on for the last four months, is for Nikon's new camera, Nikon1. To say I loved working on this campaign would be an understatement. I enjoyed every minute of it...working with Jonny at Brands2life, Greg at Nikon and all the boys in Cardiff at Specialist Models (Andy and Kristian for covering me in green gunge, Will, Ginger, Simon...).
These photos were taken at the warehouse in Cardiff where the guys at Specialist Models worked their magic.

7th Man Magazine

I recently did a shoot for 7th Man Magazine for the lovely JP. Check out some pictures I took during the shoot featuring super model Andrej Pejic.

Jodi Picoult - Harvesting the Heart

This was the third book cover I've done for the author Jodi Picoult. The shoot at Wisley Gardens was for the UK cover of Harvesting the Heart. It was the beginning of the year when we were experiencing amazingly hot weather, and it was wonderful to be outside surrounded by a great team. Most of my day was spent up a ladder in-between trees but I managed to take some of my own pictures too, including one of the beautiful stylist Kimberly Watson.

The Gentlewoman

The Gentlewoman magazine is a bi-annual women's magazine that is fast becoming one of my favourite publications. A sophisticated Adele is gracing the cover of the magazine's third issue. Perhaps for some not an obvious cover girl which makes her an inspired choice for The Gentlewoman. Could this be the first of many more covers for the soulful singer?

I’ve worked on many editorials but there's something really special about the team at Gentlewoman. From the moment I stepped into their premises everyone was friendly and generous from Fashion Director Johnathan Kaye to Richard at The Gentlewoman office, I was beyond impressed. Photography by the lovely and imaginative Daniel Riera and manicure by the brilliantly precise Jenny Longworth, who has recently done nails for Jessie J. Polish by Essie in Mademoiselle.

Mode Magazine - The wait is over?

The wait is over... or is it? Mode has hit the streets and I can't find a copy anywhere!? Thank goodness for it's digital version http://www.shortlist.com/home/article/1095/mode-arrives

Editor Adrian Clark has David Gandy on the cover and Sam Way on the inside, this free men's glossy isn't just for the boys! Looks like I'll have to ask Mr Clark to send me my free copy!

Dalmatian Print Nails LFW

Inspired by Sophy Robson's team for Topshop Unique at London Fashion Week, I attempted the 'Dalmatian Print' nails. Using a white by Jessica and a black by Jack Wills. Wonder what my yoga class will make of it tomorrow!?

Mode Magazine shoot

Shortlist are launching a new glossy bi-annual men's magazine this March called MODE. My job was to dig my nails into model Sam Way's chest. The face of Paco Rabanne and Diesel campaigns no less. Tough job!

Nails Apricot Punch by Rimmel for that 70's look. Photographer was the lovely Matthew Shave, who features in my set pictures with model Sam Way. The shot was inspired by 70's Denim Aftershave commercial (see link).

Mode is a free magazine and can be picked up at commuter hot spots such as Canary Wharf and Victoria station.

The Times App for iPad

When the Apple iPad first came out I honestly thought it was just another gimmick for the filthy rich! After spending a day testing it for this commercial I was sold. I abhor touching newspapers so The Times app was perfect for me. Sliding through articles, clicking on videos, enlarging pictures...I was hooked!

Watching the commercial now, it's hard to believe I did all the movements on green screen!

Photographer Phil Sills and Malaya Jewellery

Collaborating with photographer Phil Sills was the perfect opportunity to use some gorgeous pieces from Malaya Jewellery, designed by my talented friend Sophie Butler. Phil was looking for a specific look for this shoot and Malaya Jewellery fitted the specification perfectly.
Nails done by me, colour is White on White by Revlon.
