Watch the very rough video for a quick demo round the new site! Continue reading ‘iPhonetastic…’
My good friend Cameron Davidson asked me recently to splurge out some thoughts on UK stock photography for a guest blogging spot over at his place. So I did. Here:
Zen and the art of UK Stock Photography
He’s found my missing “h” too - well done Cameron!
Until later…

Good friend and exceptional aerial photographer Cameron Davidson is selling some prints on behalf of the Community Coalition for Haiti, a charity NGO which he has been helping to raise funds for since 1999. The views include low-level and close-in of the Capitol and Supreme Court in the now prohibited DC flight zone, New York City, The Chesapeake Bay Watershed, the American West, New Zealand and the Everglades.
The slideshow below showcases his stunning aerial compositions - images that would easily grace any wall.
To order a print just go to AerialStock.com and choose an image. One-hundred percent of the profits from print sales will be used in Haiti.
Cameron says:
The money will be used in two ways: to purchase seeds for farmers who lost their crops last fall when Haiti was walloped by three hurricanes in a row and for a feeding program for a small orphanage in the Central Highlands. A member of our board developed an intense feeding program that is working wonders with malnourished infants.

I don’t get much chance to shoot Landscape. That’s a shame because there’s nothing quite like picking your spot and waiting for the light. Continue reading ‘Recent landscape additions’
Every now and then I’m lucky enough to get a commission that really appeals to the 7 year old boy that is deep within the psyche of all adult men. The sort of excitement that is aroused by miles and miles of pipes and dials and shiny metal and flashing lights, not to forget the machine that goes “ping”. Continue reading ‘It’s a Gas…’
A belated Happy New Year to everyone I know (and those I don’t yet know but may be getting to know in 2009…er…best stop before I get myself further into any Rumsfeldisms). Its cold. I hate the cold. Continue reading ‘Happy New Year to all…’
Just to prove the weathermen wrong I had glorious weather for a recent shoot with England cricket saviour, Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff. The location was Old Trafford, Lancashire Cricket Club, and I was on a commission from Spin magazine to shoot some portraits of Freddie while he was working his way back to fitness from a recent injury. Continue reading ‘Ready Freddie go…’
If there’s one guy who has really taken regeneration of urban areas (especially Manchester) by the scruff of the neck and shaken it until it squeaks it’s Tom Bloxham. Tom’s property development company Urban Splash invests in regenerating inner city areas by taking old warehouses and office blocks and creating cool living spaces out of them. Continue reading ‘Mr Manchester…’
… I am not! But during a session in the studio that combined shooting stock with a bit of experimentation I found myself shooting some close ups of chillies and sun-dried tomatoes. I was trying to get a shadowless wraparound light effect, soft yet well defined. Continue reading ‘A food photographer…’
