Currently in the first stage of shooting for Falmouth’s Sisley store’s forthcoming mail order website which is currently in the draft stage over at Liminal Design Studios. I still have to shoot one more location, with model Sophie Mc Donnald.

I’ll post some more as and when, along with the website link when it’s live.

After researching Sisley, the Italian female casual wear brand. I found myself in awe of their photography. I had to refine my approach in order to do it justice, and fit in with the brands style.  So, we flew to the lava fields of Lanzarote, where I knew the ingredients would compliment each other perfectly.

As soon as the deviant/pro surfer/Beachbeat surfboard technician, Shaun ‘Skippy’ Skilton heard his employers were using this portrait in an ad, he shaved his hair off to avoid recognition. Not sure why, this is a claimer if ever I’ve seen one.

PS. Sorry about the the photos of us. I hate it when they do that as well.

I’m a follower of this excellent style blog: http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/ Which gave me the idea to document the people in my local towns, Camborne, Redruth and Pool (CRAP for short). I intend on shooting the locals in the style of the Sartorialist over the coming month, which will then be bound into a fine art coffee table book available for online orders.

Here’s a shot I took today, in Redruth, in preparation for the forth coming onslaught of eye opening documentary/fashion photography. The aesthetics of the photography will rely on natural light and depth of field. Using a full frame sensors and 100mm primes. Exposure compensation will be of particular use, as you can see in this shot (taken on a much overrated Canon G10) shooting into the sun and exposing for the face aided me to turn a snap shot into a nice little image which works despite the awkward bin and lamppost. I’m really excited about this self commissioned brief. The book should be fun to shoot and full to the brim with character!

Here are some test shots taken today with a little point and shoot camera. Looks like these guys are going to be easy to work with. Talk about photogenic!

Is it me, or are 12 year olds dressing themselves better than us?

Approach
By placing the relevant flooring samples into the Cornish landscape eg: Beach hut finish into the shore line, I am able to visualise the catch phrase.
