I was asked to shoot the AW2010 collection for a very interesting new client Poppy and Ned London. We shot in an old Vicarage in a village in Nottinghamshire, an awesome location. We had real snow, lovely kids and a great day out. 
It was a cold days shooting, but kids, parents and crew kept a great attitude, warmed by cups of hot tea and sandwiches.
Shooting shoes always presents a dilemma. Show only the shoes or use a model, make-up artist, stylist and do a fashion shoot…with the danger of loosing emphasis on the shoes?
When asked by Sofie Schnoor to shoot her two womens shoe collections we decided to shoot the shoes on a model, on location, as a fashion shoot, but let the shoes take center stage. For the label “Sofie Schnoor” a romantic look and for ”Mimic Copenhagen” a harder flashlit look.
In order to achieve this look, I came up with the idea of using a rather oversized on-camera flash, which sent me off to see my chiropractor for the first time in years.
This fall I completed several shoots for the company Laniel including shoots of their 8-12 collections. It is always a challenge making images that will appeal equally to an 8 year old, a 12 year old and their mothers. For this shoot we were going for a softer look emphasising friendship and a touch of innocent romance.
I am fortunate enough to be included in the Creative Review Photography Annual for the second year running.
I did a Q&A with the editor Patrick Burgoyne, you can see it here:

The Q&A was also printed in the December 2009 issue of Creative Review
This season Sofie Schnoor asked me to shoot her two collections of womens shoes Sofies Schnoor and Mimic Copenhagen. I love a challenge and set forth trying to create a sense of ‘noir’ for Sofie Schnoor and a more graphic and crisp look for Mimic Copenhagen.

I just learned that I won another first place in a competition, this time the prestigious Prix De La Photographie. I won the fashion category with a children’s fashion image shot for Junior Magazine in the UK.
I also won a second place in the children’s portrait category and two honourable mentions.
From Prix De La Photographie Website: “In its very successful third year, Px3 received over six thousands entries. Entries were judged by category: Advertising, Photojournalism, Book, Fine Art, Nature, and Portraiture, all which contain various sub-categories. Each jury was asked to use these criteria when reviewing the photographs: originality, creativity, excellence of execution, and overall impact.”

After spending much of the night pacing the floor with a slightly feverish 3 month old baby, I was pleased to learn this morning that I won an award in the Photography Masters Cup – The International Color Awards. I got First Place, Outstanding Achievement in the Fashion category.
It is an added pleasure that it is not a children’s fashion category, but the main fashion category.

I also managed three nominations in the Portrait category.
