So, despite my best efforts to keep my blog more up to date, it seems it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Wedding planning (two weeks to go!) has taken over somewhat and work has been pretty crazy too. I’m not complaining about either of these things; quite opposite in fact. However, that doesn’t [...]

So, it’s that time again. The start of another year. I have no idea where 2011 went, but it certainly went quick! At the end of 2010/start of 2011 I wrote a list of goals for the year and it was a very useful exercise. It was good to go into the new year with [...]

Happy new year! I can’t quite believe it’s 2012 already. I hope everyone had a good festive period; I certainly did, and that’s what I want to talk about for my first post of the new year… Around about July-ish last year, we found out that some friends of ours (Matt and Jen, who we [...]

So, this is my first blog post for a while! It’s not that I’ve not got anything to write about, it’s more that I’ve not had the time to write about it. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do! One of the biggest things that’s happened to me recently has been a trip [...]

A couple of months ago I was invited up to The Castle to spend the day shooting the route setters (for those that don’t know, they the people that put up all the problems and routes in The Castle, which is a full time job, believe me!) as they reset the Mezz area. The Mezz [...]

So, the year rolls on and so do the portraiture shoots! It’s been a lot of fun doing these and a huge learning curve. One thing I had been becoming a bit aware of was that all my shots where city based. I don’t think it was a huge problem in the grand scheme of [...]

So, after interviewing and filming Intraverse on the Friday, and then having to perform my quickest pack down and exit to the station ever, I was back up early on Saturday morning for a shoot with my friend Hanna. Despite being sickeningly young (it feels a bit odd to have friends born in the ’90′s) [...]
