F2 Freelance Photographer

Given everything going on at this end it would have been easy to let this slide past under the radar. But I thought I would get it out there. The 7 page interview and editorial spread is a feature called 'starting out'. Thought I'd take this opportunity to say a few thanks. First off to Editor David Land for spotting my work and getting in touch and also to Roger Payne for his translation of my garglings over the phone.

On a personal note it would be remiss of me at this point not to thank family, friends, clients and colleagues alike whom have been in touch over the past few weeks, your kind words and thoughts for the family at the moment have really been making a difference. We are all taking great strength from your love and support. Thank you all again.

You can pick up a copy of F2 Freelance Photographer magazine in High St branches of WH Smith throughout the UK at the grand old price of £3.99.

The book contains all of the 50 portraits along with out takes and contact sheets from the sessions. The exhibition will be open and available to view by appointment only for the whole of June.

A Little About the Project
Shot over the summer of 2010 THE MODEL PROJECT is a collection of mixed portraits creating a time capsule of the Scottish modelling scene.  Simplicity was key to the creation of the images. To allow the models to become central and the full focus of the image everything was simplified and stripped back. 1 camera, 1 model, 1 white backdrop, 1 light and 1 reflector were used to create 1 static set up for these diverse images. Each was tailored to capture an essence of the models personalities by stripping back their make up and attire to reveal the personality under the beauty. 50 models in total sat for the portraits.

Teddies for Tragedies

Few things get written on the walls here. Few things need to be or deserve to be. This past week has been yet another busy one, between the normal meetings and deadlines, photo shoots and video directing, I had the pleasure, nae, I had the privilege of spending some time with a very special group of women. The Nuns of St Davids in Dalkeith take part in a knitting group who spend a few hours each week knitting for 'Teddies for Tragedies.' Led by Sister Betty, the group knit the aforementioned teddies as well as hats, jumpers, blankets and more for donation to the Children of Africa. The hats and blankets help keep premature baby's warm in the cold African nights while the teddies are given to children who have nothing. In some cases the teddies and the bags they come in are the only possessions that these kids will ever have.

Here's the sales bit... Teddies for Tragedies isn't a charity, its simply a pattern. The pattern allows anyone, anywhere to make one of these teddies and in turn make a difference. If you're able, keen, or just a little interested in any of this please do check out the website below for information. Its not a big operation, but the work the groups all over the country and in fact all over the world (with branches in Australia to Canada) does, really makes a difference to some families in desperate need of a little help or comfort.

Young or old I say 'Vive la Révolution!' knitting's the new Nintendo.
