This photo of Vincent has just been given “Front Page Image” status on PurplePort.  In many ways it follows on from my image Top Dog which was also given FPI status but Downward Dog came first.  When Vincent wants to play he always adopts the position of Downward Dog so I simply had to do a photo of him reading a book on Pilates for dogs.  Maybe I should do a series.  I’m working with a bodybuilder later today so maybe in the next one Vincent will be visiting the gym.

This was a composite of 6 images plus some extra colouring.

This is one of my favourite photos so I’m pleased to say Top Dog has been awarded “Front Page Image” status on PurplePort.  PurplePort is an online forum for photographers, models, MUAs, dress designers etc. and there are some very talented people there so this is a nice feather in my cap.  This has led to an interesting offer from a London studio.  It would great to get my work seen a bit more in the big city.

Celebrating National Cupcake Week.

Any excuse to dig out some old favourites.  Loved doing this project with Jo and Emma.  Jo designed and made a corset out of paper cupcake cases.  Then we added a skirt made out of paper strips and a wig made out of plaited paper.  Add a few white accessories and Emma looked great.

I’ve chosen this photo of Zoe Davison as photo of the week for 2 reasons.  Zoe has just come 4th in the World Junior Modern Pentathlon Championships even though she is nowhere near the top of the age group.  Also I finally got the chance to use it in a recent club competition where it gained a seal.  The judge said “it’s great when you get to work with a professional model because they are so good at giving you a natural look”.  But Zoe is no professional model, however, she is great at understanding what the task is and delivering.  That’s one reason why I am not surprised when I hear news of her great performances.  We will be working again together when her competitive season finishes and we have some great ideas lined up.
