Hi, I have a question regarding your Polaroid. How much money do you have to spend on the film? I'm getting a Polaroid One Step Land Camera soon, and am hoping it isn't as horribly expensive as people say. Thank you!
Hey! I spent between £15 and £30 for a pack of film which was for about 10 photos. The results are amazing and I have got some great photos. However sometimes I’d find a film would get jammed and I’d lose a couple of shots which can cost at least £1 a photo, it soon adds up.
I’d have a look at the impossible project and then ebay for film :) Hope this helps, if you’ve got any more questions, just ask :)

Typical British weather, but it does remind me of the film Singing in the Rain.
Working Abroad!!!
It’s official, my visa came through today meaning I am definitely working in America this Summer. It’s a bit scary because I’ve worked in the same place for a long time, but very exciting!
The reason I’m blogging about this is because it has everything to do with photography. I will be head of the photography department in a camp in Pennsylvania. This is going to be challenging and rewarding.
But whilst I’m in America, I am going to carry on with my own work, hopefully working with people I meet, maybe some models and create work either on days off or during my travelling time… watch this space!! :)

Here’s another of Gemma.
This is one of my favourite photographs I have recently taken, I loved the shoot with Katie, she was just so much fun to photograph as well as easy to photograph. Not only is she game for anything and when I asked her if she’d stand in the sea (it was freezing) she went for it, and didn’t moan once! She is just beautiful and wants to create fantastic images with a photographer, I hope I get to collaborate again with her in the future!
My shoot with Gemma.
I tried a different way of working for a recent shoot. For my shoot with Gemma, I wanted to rely on ageing the photograph afterwards in photoshop. This was really difficult for me because I like to create my image during a photo shoot. But I do think experimenting and trying out different techniques can lead to something quite beautiful.

I haven’t blogged in ages, but the upside to that is I’ve been shooting loads and have lots of lovely photos to share. I really have worked with incredible people the past few months, I have had so much fun on shoots with incredible models and hope I get to photograph them again, soon!
If I’m not photographing or blogging, I’m researching. I can spent hours looking through books, magazines and on the internet. What I love about tumblr, is that I stumble upon work I might never have come across.
I wanted this post to be about a photograph I have fallen in love with. I love finding new work that I find inspiring and images then generates new ideas for me.
For me this work by Helen Warner, is something else, I love how it can be a fashion image. But for me it works on another level too, I feel that this image alone tells a story. It has a slight gothic feel, yet I feel quite sad looking at this beautiful woman.
