Whitby Goth Festival Photoshoot.

Photographed at Whitby Goth Festival over the halloween weekend. We were shooting at night outside in the dark most of the time. I took an assistant with me who's main job was to shine a torch on my "victims" so I could focus the camera. I had a Bowens flash with a soft box set up and shot everything with the aperture stopped well down so none of the background would register, enabling me to get a portrait against a clean black backdrop.
I couldn't go wrong with the wealth of subject matter, and shot well in to the early hours on both Saturday and Sunday. I like to say a big thanks to everyone who let me take their portrait. Here are some of the results.

The latest from a wonderful wedding at Son Morraig in Deia, Mallorca. The bride was the sister of top fashion photographer Mathew Brookes, so I was probably lucky to be there, he must have wanted a day off. Son Morraig was the stunning setting for the blessing, the bride wore a Victoria Beckham dress and all at sun set too, I couldn't really go wrong. The groom was no slouch either!

Alex Higgins dies.

Here are a few photos I've taken in the past few years of Alex Higgins who was found dead on Saturday night. They say you should never meet your heros and certainly from my point of view this is a case in point. No doubt he was one of the greatest snooker players ever though.
