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).
