Velazquez reimagined...

This beautiful photograph, to me, looks like a modern retelling of the famous Velazquez painting of Venus reclining in front of mirror that Cupid is holding. The lighting and the way the sheets are arranged just shouts classical painting to me. Beautiful, enjoy.

Delft blue...



Beautiful images focusing on products, and interiors inspired by Delft blauw, which is also placed within the images. Beautiful blue. Enjoy.

Suspended...


I love this bedroom, the way the bed is placed diagonally to the wall, not against it makes the room seem bigger. And that amazing hanging light brings the very high ceilings down to a more human level. Wonderful, enjoy.

Colour rinses galore...


Wonderfully funny Juicy Couture advert. I love the limited pastel color palette, and how its even reflected in the hair color of the old women. Don't you love their expressions. Enjoy.

Graphically speaking...


Beautiful, graphic image, I love the silhouette of the tumbling hair, next to the line of the single thread. Enjoy.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Photographs I took inspired by Corrine Day's portraits of Kate Moss. These are of the model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who I met on a photography course at Central Saint Martins. Enjoy.

Dusty stillness...


Some photographs I took of a friend of mine. They're a bit dusty, but I quite like that. Enjoy.

Damage...




Altered Polaroids, that have been torn, burned, scratched and cut into. So sad, they're going to be all gone soon.

Loretta Lux...


Beautiful photographs, which cross the mediums of painting and photography. Loretta Lux photographs her friends children in vintage clothes, using a pastel color palette, along with painted backgrounds to create an imaginary environment with a strong visual identity. I've loved her work for years, ever since along with my grandmother, I saw an exhibition in the San Fransisco Moma which included some of her work. They are even more visually impacting in person. Enjoy.

Born famous...



Photographs of now famous actors and actresses when they where young, with their famous parents. From the top, The Curtis family with a very young Jamie Lee Curtis, Kirk Douglas and young Michael Douglas, and Debbie Reynolds with daughter Carrie Fisher. With our celebrity obsessed culture I feel these images are quite powerful, having these innocent children being born into fame without a choice.

Beautiful simplicity...



Beautiful, simply styled vintage fashion photographs. So often these days fashion photography is over complicated, which can be a nice source of escapism, but sometimes simplicity works best. Enjoy.

Grey is the new black...



Beautiful industrial styled kitchen, with accents of grey. Grey is often used to describe something as being boring or conservative, but I think these photos show how creative, and effective the color can be. Enjoy.

Beyond the Valley photoshoot...




A couple of weeks ago I was fortunate enough to be involved with a photo-shoot for the new collections at the shop Beyond the Valley, in London. Here are some behind-the-scenes photographs I took at the shoot. Enjoy.

A falling sensation...




Some slightly unnerving photographs of people plummeting to the ground. I love the expressions on their faces, they're the kind you can't fake.

Trick or treat...




Adorable photographs of New York children out trick or treating. Aren't they cute. Enjoy

Love magazine...

Katie Grand's new magazine Love launched today after much anticipation, and did not disappoint. Isn't the cover absolutely amazing. Enjoy

Absolutely love it...



Gorgeous interior, what a wonderful color to put on your walls. I'm absolutely in love with how they've used the fireplace to stack books, genius. Enjoy.

I'm feeling colorful...


Wonderfully colorful fashion photographs. There has been small rays of sunshine the past few days in London, so I'm starting feel more colorful, winter is finally coming to an end. Enjoy

Polaroid calm...

Beautiful, serene Polaroid photographs. I love how the white, somehow has different tonal qualities. Enjoy

Boarding...


Amazing photograph of a stylish woman on a plane from, what I'm guessing to be the 1950's. Enjoy
Click to enlarge.

Cool cold weather style...



Although one girl is wearing trousers, the other a skirt, one wearing a complex outfit, the other a simple one. I feel like these outfits have the same vibe. I think this is partly due to them both taking inspiration from the same era, the 1940's. Enjoy, and stay warm.

Sketch away...



Beautiful sketches from Sweet as a Loon Bird. I love the drawing style. Enjoy.

Weird and wonderful...




Lovely altered, vintage style photographs. I like the use of the panorama format. Enjoy.

A house I would love to live in...


Stunning interior, with beautiful accents of lights and darks. And I love, love, love, that bathtub. Enjoy

From the set...



Photographs that were taken on the set of The Godfather. The middle one for me, really exudes the feeling of the movie. Enjoy
