Absolutely thrilled to have bagged a cover image on this weeks AJ as well as two decent sized shots on a double spread inside*. I’m not the only one as there are 12 different covers going out with half the shortlisted entries (the rest next week). The project is the fantastic Jewel Box by Fraher Architects which is great news as it’s one of their first completed projects. Fingers crossed they win!
*The credit was given to someone else which is a real shame and a bit of a missed PR opportunity but never mind.

A quick update with an outtake from a recent portraits and studio shoot for the talented Bob Barton in his London studio.
I really like this one, almost anonymous with the cup of coffee held up.

Nice to see that one of my shots of the Jewel Box has made the cover of Interior Design magazine in Taiwan of all places.
Scan of cover thanks to Fraher.

Another successful year in a number of ways and some great projects shot and delivered for some brilliant clients. Looking forward to an even better 2012!
Happy Christmas all and best for 2012!

Last week I had the pleasure of shooting a completed project, The Smith House, for John Pardey Architects near Christchurch. We were blessed with incredible light for most of the day along with a beautiful clear sky for the dusk shot. Here’s a few of my favourite shots from the day which also appear on their Flickr stream.

I’m very pleased to see a three projects I’ve shot this year in the 2012 AJ Small Projects Award. All of the submitted projects are now online at the AJ Buildings Library which is well worth checking out. There’s some great little schemes in there up to a maximum value of 250k. So the three projects are as follows:
Jewel Box, Fraher Architects
Playground – Charlotte Sharman Primary School, De Matos Ryan
one and eight, me & sam

Nice to see a few images I shot for the guys at me & sam the other day appear on their site. It’s a rather nice little exhibition in the foyer of a lager firm of Architects in Covent Garden for the Stephen Lawrence trust. Worth popping in to have a look if you’re in the area.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting MDM Models Ltd down the road from me in Camberwell. There was lots and lots worth taking shots of but unfortunately lots was confidential.
However in one of the studios there were these series of wire metal sections being welded up for a project in Blackpool. Fascinating to watch these guys and have a chat with some of them too. Nice to have a workshop rather than a studio or office this time. Looking out for the next set of images for the project. Got one that would look good here? Get in touch!

Trying to get back into the project and shoot more for the creative spaces project. I was down on the Southcoast yesterday so managed to stay over and see a friend from University who has recently set up on his own.
Definitely worth a visit to his site – stromarchitects.com

A quick update with few images from a recent shoot I did for a talented structural engineer friend of mine. The work is entitled Tornado (The Bell), 2010 by Fiona Banner and is held in a private collection in London. I was fortunate enough to see the work a few weeks ago. The scale of it is quite incredible and makes an impressive addition to the building it’s situated in.

There’s some more information about the piece along with some great shots of the process of making the work at the Locus + site.The bell was cast, in Loughborough, by the world renowned John Taylors Bell Foundry.
