I was lying on my sofa waiting, as any moment Dave and Stephanie would arrive from their trip down from Birmingham, it was 11pm and my eyes were slowly closing after not getting much sleep the night before, thinking about the excitement of the shoot coming up. A crazy dash to France to shoot the beautiful Stephanie Warwick, with help from Dave Kai Piper and my lovely husband Danny, who even though he was working all week said he would drive the 10 hours to get us there and back to two stunning location in France.
My eyes flicked open as my phone vibrated next to my head, marking the arrival to my door of two smiley looking people, excited about the shoot about to happen. We all spread out around the house to capture a measly 4 hours sleep before heading to the Euro Tunnel, surprisingly despite the time, we were full of cheer until we almost reached the tunnel and suddenly realised realised we were in the wrong place! 10 miles from the check in and only 15 minutes to get there. It wasn't gonna be easy 4 of us packed into a tiny Nissa Micra, loaded down with bags in the boot, we burned it at 100 miles an hour and made it by the skin of our teeth, laughing and breathless we felt super lucky we had made it.
Soon we were in France and as Danny\s first outing to Europe and driving on the wrong side of the road, he did surprisingly well at keeping on the right side of the road and after a 3 hours drive we had arrived at the first location. It was 11am and with a 2 hour time window to get the shots before we moved to our next location we had to move fast. I had visited the first chateau a few months prior with Darren, Dusty and Nick and instantly fell in love, despite being very dark inside and covered in pigeon poo, it had a special fairytale quality to it, with a grand piano covered in dust, its keys broken, never to be played again, with Stephanie lying on the cold wood, the whole scene looked like a twisted dark fairytale. Tightly holding onto some dying roses we had found, the final photo looks like a beautiful tragedy. Using my Elinchrom kit to light Stephanie really helped as the area was very dark, Danny help the softball to the right of the piano as I balanced my 3 legged thing tripod over the spiral staircase and the piano to get the shot straight for above.
I had a large suitcase filled with the glorious costumes of Agnieszka Osipa an amazing designer, who I have been a huge fan of, for over a year. It made my year when she said she would send over from Poland 4 of her beautiful costumes for the shoot. Stephanie looked incredible in all of them. And despite the freezing cold and the effort and time it took to get inside each one, it was totally worth it and Stephanie remained brave from the cold throughout.
At 1.30pm, slightly behind schedule we drove to the next location, the sun would set soon, so we had to be quick, Dave captured film of us getting ready as gale force winds slammed the window shutters closed, as old doors toppled to the floor and Stephanie shivered under both hers and Dave's coat, her frozen hands in Dave's gloves. I can’t believe her stamina, even my hands were in pain as I put together my soft box, we moved quick and shot two costumes, before swiftly making it back to the car. We all shared a huge group feeling of accomplishment and capturing some stunning photos. 3 hours later we were back to the Euro tunnel after a rather hair-raising near crash on a round about where our car deiced it wanted to partake in a bit of drifting action infront of some on coming cars. Luckily we didn't drift too far and then after our morning incident of nearly missing the train, we again found ourselves in the lorry lane instead of where we were meant to be. The lorry drivers giving us the most awful looks, we finally got out the huge queue of lorries and again made it to the train by seconds.
Our spirits throughout the whole trip despite the usual challenges and hair-raising experiences remained high and we laughed the whole time. It was a tiring shoot, with not much sleep, but filled with so many laughs and being surrounded by wonderful people, its shoots like this that make me feel so lucky to be doing what I do. By 11pm we were all back at my house in bed out like a light for some much deserved sleep.
I’m off to Bulgaria tomorrow for another shoot, with lots of snow and an incredible building, I am really looking forward to my next adventure.

the sounds
of the station
voices of
people reverberate
around the space
always sounds
the same
I wake to
the bright light
streaming through
the windows
and flowers in
the garden
in the winds at sunset
I hear the voices
of the trees
and their leaves
in the fading
light
this warm winter
has forced the bloom
of pink flowers
that leave a
trail of petals
across the sky

This story starts a couple of months prior and an exciting trip underground, deep under the surface of London lies a Victorian crypt, mainly unseen to the public apart from the odd tour yearly to see the remains of the lead lined coffins of an era past. It wasn't an easy feat to get inside, but for me it was breathtaking to see something you just would never see in normal everyday life. Some may say my heart is filled with darkness, but it could also be said that had we not been brought up to be so uncomfortable with death and dead bodies, there could in another world be part of our life. But for now they lie hidden from society, a fascination for the inquisitive.
My second adventure to the crypt stated at 11.30 in the safeness of my home, beautiful Roswell Ivory arrived from Milton Keynes and soon followed by Rosie Lee to create some artistry on Roswell’s face and hair. We had great fun getting ready and trying on the beautiful gowns of Joanne Flemming who kindly sent them over for the shoot and before long we were in the car with my husband Danny to drive us to our first location, we said goodbye to Rosie who had another makeup job on. Unfortunately after long we realised that the traffic on that day was truly horrific, we were racing for time to get to Brompton cemetery but it became clear that we were not going to meet our 4pm sunset deadline, deflated we spent more time sat in traffic. We decided to go and eat some food at the location of the crypt. But on arrival it was clear that there was not any decent places to eat, it was cool though as we had time to kill before we could try and attempt to get into the crypt.
We headed over to the town we used to live and had a great tapas meal, with raised spirits we made our way back to the crypt, it was 6.30pm by now and in the cover of darkness we made our first attempt, but watching for a while from the car it was clear that the area still had a good few dog walkers and passers by, also a nosey neighbour meant we couldn’t proceed.
We chose to go back to my house and return in complete night, it was hard to get inside when we did return, but we made it, Roswell was a true ninja and we couldn’t have done it without the help of Danny, who was amazing. We shot in silence in the crypt for a couple of hours and then realised it was nearing 2am! We had shot 4 beautiful dresses and were super happy with the Victorian story of death and tragedy we had captured, tired we embarked on the massive task of getting out from at least 10ft underground.
It was a truly exhausting shoot and even a day later I am aching from head to toe, but it was a special thing to be inside such an interesting place and to see dates on the coffins going back to the early 1800’s. The rotting hydraulic lift that lowered the heavy lead lined coffins into the crypt still remains, like a steam punk memory of time gone by, with an estimate 2500 coffins inside it felt to me almost calming to be so far away from the living and taking a step back in time to a world so distant from where we are now.

The lighthouse at Penmon Point was built after the tragic disaster of the steam ship Rothesay Castle in 1831. When a day trip from Liverpool turned to tragedy with the loss of passengers and crew, it was decided that a lighthouse and accompanying Lifeboat Station was needed. Today, the lighthouse watches over the treacherous waters between Penmon Point and Puffin Island which, as its names suggests, was once home to a large population of puffins. Although the puffins no longer inhabit the island, this area is still rich in wildlife.

“The road to Manderley lay ahead. There was no moon. The sky above our heads was inky black. But the sky on the horizon was not dark at all. It was shot with crimson, like a splash of blood. And the ashes blew towards us with the salt wind from the sea.” - Daphne Du Maurier
Our travels took us to the mysterious house of ashes, found with a lot of detective work and some hours to explore within its walls. As we passed through destroyed room to room, the story of those that once resided became clear and more sad as the time passed.
Then through the mist of dust, the sad discovery of the houses last resident inside a bronze urn on a shelf, what tragic circumstance could lead to the ashes of a person to be left undiscovered for so long and left to decay with the house they once lived?
That night I had weird dreams about the house, thoughts of the lives that had happened once inside and wondering what had lead to this distressful ending.

my vision
is distorted
by a floating
cloud inside
the room of
my dreamscape
I see within
the cloud
the blur of
a city street
with street lamps
and brake lights
and myself
in the rear view
mirror
and we drive on
Don't really like photographs with a lot of negative space or barren scenes...but this lamp post just caught my eye...
As a fellow basketball player, I couldn't help but admire the dedication the boys had for the sport, training outside in the freezing cold and it was also super windy! Shout out to these guys!

Me and Cameron took a trip to Chernobyl this week, this year is the 30th anniversary of the terrible disaster that happened on April 26th 1986. The day we entered the zone it began to snow. Ive been to Pripyat, the abandoned town twice before but never in the snow. It felt stark, peaceful and surreal. We entered this endless road, the snow untouched by footprints, abandoned structures either side and for just a few minutes I held my breathe and remembered those that had lost their lives.

My eyes flicked open as my phone vibrated next to my head, marking the arrival to my door of two smiley looking people, excited about the shoot about to happen. We all spread out around the house to capture a measly 4 hours sleep before heading to the Euro Tunnel, surprisingly despite the time, we were full of cheer until we almost reached the tunnel and suddenly realised realised we were in the wrong place! 10 miles from the check in and only 15 minutes to get there. It wasn't gonna be easy 4 of us packed into a tiny Nissa Micra, loaded down with bags in the boot, we burned it at 100 miles an hour and made it by the skin of our teeth, laughing and breathless we felt super lucky we had made it.
Soon we were in France and as Danny's first outing to Europe and driving on the wrong side of the road, he did surprisingly well at keeping on the right side of the road and after a 3 hours drive we had arrived at the first location. It was 11am and with a 2 hour time window to get the shots before we moved to our next location we had to move fast. I had visited the first chateau a few months prior with Darren, Dusty and Nick and instantly fell in love, despite being very dark inside and covered in pigeon poo, it had a special fairytale quality to it, with a grand piano covered in dust, its keys broken, never to be played again, with Stephanie lying on the cold wood, the whole scene looked like a twisted dark fairytale. Tightly holding onto some dying roses we had found, the final photo looks like a beautiful tragedy. Using my Elinchrom kit to light Stephanie really helped as the area was very dark, Danny help the softball to the right of the piano as I balanced my 3 legged thing tripod over the spiral staircase and the piano to get the shot straight for above.
I had a large suitcase filled with the glorious costumes of Agnieszka Osipa an amazing designer, who I have been a huge fan of, for over a year. It made my year when she said she would send over from Poland 4 of her beautiful costumes for the shoot. Stephanie looked incredible in all of them. And despite the freezing cold and the effort and time it took to get inside each one, it was totally worth it and Stephanie remained brave from the cold throughout.
At 1.30pm, slightly behind schedule we drove to the next location, the sun would set soon, so we had to be quick, Dave captured film of us getting ready as gale force winds slammed the window shutters closed, as old doors toppled to the floor and Stephanie shivered under both hers and Dave's coat, her frozen hands in Dave's gloves. I can’t believe her stamina, even my hands were in pain as I put together my soft box, we moved quick and shot two costumes, before swiftly making it back to the car. We all shared a huge group feeling of accomplishment and capturing some stunning photos. 3 hours later we were back to the Euro tunnel after a rather hair-raising near crash on a round about where our car deiced it wanted to partake in a bit of drifting action infront of some on coming cars. Luckily we didn't drift too far and then after our morning incident of nearly missing the train, we again found ourselves in the lorry lane instead of where we were meant to be. The lorry drivers giving us the most awful looks, we finally got out the huge queue of lorries and again made it to the train by seconds.
Our spirits throughout the whole trip despite the usual challenges and hair-raising experiences remained high and we laughed the whole time. It was a tiring shoot, with not much sleep, but filled with so many laughs and being surrounded by wonderful people, its shoots like this that make me feel so lucky to be doing what I do. By 11pm we were all back at my house in bed out like a light for some much deserved sleep.

A Caterpillar used for crushing concrete into smaller pieces sits inbetween two buildings in muddy soil in the Binondo District, Manila, Phlippines.
How would you like your life to be remembered when you are gone? How would you feel if someone found your abandoned house and what would your items say about your life?
Deep in the Welsh countryside, hidden amongst the trees lies this house frozen in time, piled to the high with belongings of its former occupants. As I carefully looked through the items, it took me back to the lives of the old woman who seemingly had been wooded by her husbands, an old photo of a greying lady with her friends, but no man by her side. Even older photos in black and white of a young solder and then a touching find. A wedding card to a Dick and Emily fromStuart and Joyce and then next to it a golden wedding anniversary card from the very same people 50 years later. It gave me a huge sense of melancholy and happiness, a couple who had lived a lifetime together for over 50 years, but then the pain one of them must have felt living in this lonesome country house without their lifetime lover.
Further exploration relieved segments of their past lives, gas masks, letters, birthday cards, the lady was clearly a very fashionable lady who cared for her appliance, with a bedroom full of makeup, perfume, elegant clothing. As we left the house as we found it, the memories to continue to shy away in the darkness, I felt a sense of happiness that someone had got to enactor their beautiful lives once more.

Tower Bridge (built 1886-1894) is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England, over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, from which it takes its name.
It has become an iconic symbol of London.The bridge consists of two towers tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. The bridge's present colour scheme dates from 1977, when it was painted red, white and blue for the Queen Elizabeth II's silver jubilee. Originally it was painted a mid greenish-blue colour.
Tower Bridge is sometimes mistakenly referred to as London Bridge, which is the next bridge upstream.
Available to Buy for Just Two More Weeks on Kickstarter.

A young girl uses her calculator to add up the family's business sales for the day outside their shop in Chinatown, Binondo District, Manila, Philippines. Re-released without watermarks.
Deep within the constellation Monoceros, the Rosette Nebula blazes as a cosmic forge, where gravity and radiation sculpt vast towers of gas and dust. This central region is where stars ignite, forging the elements that may one day become new worlds.
This two-panel mosaic captures the nebula’s elaborate core, where the young, searing-hot stars of NGC 2244 blaze through the surrounding clouds, shaping an ever-evolving masterpiece. Every arc and filament in this celestial furnace tells the story of the universe’s endless cycle - destruction, rebirth, and the birth of light itself.

I look up from
the sidewalk
between skyscrapers
the sun
rises through
an unfolding
flower
the reflections
create a silent
echo
repeated
off the mirror
of windows
among
the canyon walls
I find myself
again
standing at the window
looking out
at the complete
beauty in dead
trees and cloudy skies
the clouds are
on this side
of my window
I open the door
to let them out
red is an emotional
color and the topic
of much thought
as of late
Pantone color swatches
comprise my dreamscape
as I mentally work
to define that
perfect shade
of red…
a lovely
and revealing process
of recognition
and perception
that we all see differently
We looked
for a moment
away from the pool
We found a view
Of water
colorful lights
reflected
across the street
a typical
dream surprise
