After another one of my mammoth drives I pulled up in Verbier, Switzerland to shoot with Dare 2b’s riders Chris and Nick Southwell, we had some jackets to shoot for Dare 2b and I also wanted to get some editorial images shot and maybe a little stock too should we get the chance. I had also taken my new Nikkor 18-200 GII ED zoom lens to test out, I had purchased it as a one lens travel solution to go with my D300s and I have to say it worked an absolute treat.
Out on this trip with me was Andrew “Noddy” Gowerns who had come out to do a bit of filming jump a few cliffs, and as it turned out to partake in a little Apres-ski libation, along with myself of cause. The week started well with clear skies, but unfortunately it also brought with it 25 degree temperature’s which quite simply destroyed the snow pack. This was then followed by grey skies the next day, blue the day after, grey the day after that and so on. But while the sun was out we managed to get a few nice shots done. We used the Ranger flashes on a few of the shots just to add a little drama, much to Chris’s disgust as he had foolishly offered to carry them. All in all it was a pretty good week, and we had great fun and lots of banter with the boys. But all good things must come to and end it was time to head back to the UK for my next job, a shoot on the glorious west coast in Wales!

On route to Verbier I spotted this shot so I pulled over and poked the D3X with a 70-200mm attached out of the car window. Nice and simple and will work really well as a stock picture.

We’ve been busy in the kitchen this month shooting some food stock photography, we focused on a few ingredients and produced a few dishes. We did some in natural light and some in the studio using flash. All good stuff really, the hardest part being not eating it all before it gets shot, that pork pie didn’t last long I can tell you

I was at the Hundred House Hotel this month doing some food photography for their Winter menu and Tapas starter, and I have to say it is wonderfully comforting experience, just the sort of thing after a long frosty winter walk. I used the D3x for this employing the 5.4 crop facility for a few shots which I find suits food photography quite well. I also popped into the kitchen and shot a few preparation and cooking shots.

JC Decaux January 11th, 2012
Here’s a couple of shots I took in Birmingham for JC Decaux. It’s not often I do urban shots, I’m normally up a mountain or standing in a rain soaked field, but once I got my head around the parking situation I found it quite interesting to shoot. I used a 3 stop full ND filter to slow things down a little and get those car lights working for me.

When it comes to interior photography it doesn’t get much better than this! After battling my way through biblical storms from Shropshire to the Alps I pulled up outside the incredible Chalet Brames in Meribel, France. It has been transformed after a total refurbishment taking almost two years and the end result is spectacular, with superb attention to detail throughout and a beautiful homely feel to the whole place. If you are lucky enough to stay there I can guarantee you won’t want to leave.

Time to shoot a little stock photography for Cultura and I’d got just the spot for it. I’ve waited a long time to shoot at this particular location with the right conditions but ever year something wasn’t right, mostly weather and diary. So with renewed determination for the autumn I kept an eye on the Met Office website with my fingers crossed. Eventually I saw a possible break in the weather coming up. I asked Kevin Harris to come up and model, and after two days sitting out rain and fog we decided to chance it and drive to Wales. By 2.30 in the afternoon we where there and the light was just incredible. After a quick look around we got to work and shot for two and a half hours and I couldn’t have be happier, I’d taken the Rangers with me just in case, but it turned out that we hardly used them, as the large flash in the sky was doing a fine job.

Well here it is again, another year has come and gone and like the first fall of snow flakes in the alps the Snow and Rock catalogue launch heralds the start of the winter. As I said in my post in March, this year was especially challenging with the poor snow fall over the season. We shot it all in Obergurgl where fresh snow was rather thin on the ground, thankfully some of the brief was urban so as you can see from the shot above we had a ball in an underground car park. The Elinchrom’s where on fire for the ten day shoot, this year we used the Quadra flashes as well as the Rangers, and I have to say they where brilliant.
