Inca The Dog

Recently I shot my friend Alex's dog, Inca and below are a few pics.

Now, I have to say Inca was not the most co-operative dog I've had in front of my camera (bless her, she doesn't like the flash!) but we got there in the end....

MICHELE KNIGHT/ PSYCHIC KNIGHT

I recently shot TV and celebrity psychic Michele Knight at her 'castle' in Devon. Michele's place is amazing, it's by the beach and in the countryside and is literally a beautiful castle. It was fabulous to meet Michele and spend the day there. I especially loved having fun with the donkey's. Below is my edit from the day. The final select is up on my website:

CATS AT CHRISTMAS

Below are Aiko and Harvey, the cats I shot for my Christmas card.  A full day of festive fun and tinsel was had by all to get the below shots.......

THE AMERICAN'S ENCOUNTER WITH A BRITISH BULLDOG

My favourite moment from a recent shoot is pictured below.  

The model/ actor below, Austin, was fresh to London from LA for the very first time.  Instead of showing him some of the usual tourist hot spots, we whisked him straight to London's East End, where I was shooting in the rain on the streets around various council estates.  

Walking back to our winebago, I spotted this bulldog tied up in a van.  After asking the owners permission and enquiring into whether the bulldog was a friendly character, I asked Austin to go and acquaint himself.  Nervous at first, we eventually got him in the van where he got well and truly mauled (in a playful way).  My assistant and I were howling with laughter as I shot it.....Austin was a great sport!

BEHIND THE SCENES: SHEBA-CARGO SHOOT

I recently shot an advertising campaign for Sheba cat food. This was in association with Cargo and Natmags.
The shoot required me to source 2 Russian Blue cats to use as models (one main one and one back up). I also had to hire a cat handler to look after the cats and to make sure they performed on set. The cats became like mini celebrities on the shoot, requiring their own private green room and a silent closed set when we were shooting. If cats get upset whilst shooting, they 'stop working' (the cat handlers words) and you can't get them back. So the entire set had to be carefully managed to ensure this didn't happen and we could get the shots needed.
