Miss Reading Town visits the ‘Reading’ studio

April visited my studio after she appeared in one of my recent OK! magazine features with her friend Sarah-Anne. We spent time in beautiful low sunlight at Black Park and then moved back to the studio where she put on he ‘Miss Reading Town’ sash ahead of the Miss Great Britain final. Sash finally discarded, we moved to the floor for a ‘top of the blog’ shaped photograph. It was unusual having a ‘Miss Reading’ around who was not a relation!

Chris Evans ‘mallets’ me with Timmy Mallet’s mallet!

I went to Langhams to photograph Timmy Mallet, his paintings which were on show there and his celebrity guests. OK! magazine ran the feature. In a private moment, Chris Evans decided to demonstrate his love of photographers by giving me a ‘malletting’. Timmy decided not to ‘mallet’ Rod Stewart, who was dining with Penny and some guests in the restaurant. Rod did oblige later by posing for a photograph.

Photographing the ‘bump’

My good friend Nat, who I first met when she modelled some wedding dresses wanted some ‘bump’ photos. Nat had visited the studio to help me ‘test drive’ it when it was new and I was privileged to be asked to photograph her wedding. For the pregnancy images, we spent the afternoon playing with ideas and recreated some images she had seen online and liked and I put my own mark on them.
