A look back at 2011
First day back at work in 2012 and in the absence of a major shoot landing on my lap in the first week of January, I thought I’d take the opportunity to take stock of the last year!
2011 started with a bang as I had two of my biggest commissions to date in January. The first was the merchandise shoot for McLaren, shooting Lewis Hamilton and Jensen Button over 2 days at McLaren HQ.

My first music video!
Last month I DOP’ed on my first music video, for Mechanical Bride. It was produced by the excellent Geschwister AKA my friends Johannes and Michelle, shot on a shoestring budget over 5 very long (but good fun) days in Berlin.
Its quite strange to be a DOP as it was a learning experience in letting go of certain aspects of control that as a photographer you are not...

Mechanical Bride
Here are some press shots that I did last year for Lauren Doss AKA Mechanical Bride, her album has just been released this week.
They say never work with animals… we had no disasters but greyhounds are quite hard to direct and my idea of two perfectly symmetrical, noble dogs sitting looking solemnly into the camera soon proved to be an impossibility…

McLaren Merchandise shoot 2011
In January I took on my biggest commercial shoot to date - for McLaren’s 2011 merchandise range. They were looking for a more fashion feel to the images so it was a real meeting of two worlds… I know nothing about cars but did my best to pretend…
I was able to put together my own team, so I got lighting assistant Natasha Alipour-Faridani on board as a priority. The lighting...
