And now for something completely different...

Friday 9th March... The highly prominent day in my calendar this year! The day I had put lots of planning and forethought into! The day I got to work with a photographer who's work I've admired since first starting out in the industry. The day I found myself in a photography studio in Brighton! YES... This was the day I finally got to work with the legendary John Farrar and I was excited at the prospect! :oD Added to that and the fact John only really shoots female models, I was also highly privileged to be working with him on this project - Thank you John :)


The shoot came about when I approached him in January about a potential shoot... I was delighted when John said though he didn't really shoot males he would be happy to if we came up with some worthwhile ideas. So we set about throwing a few concepts together and finding a make-up artist/body-painter to collaborate with on the project. After much jiggery-a-do and a long story short... Enter the talented and inspirational Adam- Thomas Bane.

I threw some concepts and themes at Adam and we decided on one that was pretty conclusive, would do the project justice on the day and lent itself to a variety of interpretations after Adam had thrown his own unique input and ideas to mix. With a shopping list that consisted of a suit, ties, paint, clockwork cogs and drawing pins... This was not to be your average shoot! - Though one I finally managed to keep my clothes on for may I note! LOL Added to that... Much banter, dry humour and laughs between the 3 of us made an 11hr day with 3 concepts shot actually end far too quickly and leave us with many more ideas to explore next time.

So please enjoy and digest the fruits of our labour so far.... (More tasty photo's will be added as processed)



Thank you to both John and Adam for their time and talents on a project that stands firm in the memory. I look forward to working with you both again very soon... It was a complete pleasure and enjoyable experience with lots of fun and final images I know we will all treasure for years to come :)
