After a very brief visit home, it was a quick turn around and back to Alpe d’Huez to shoot the Mountain Warehouse Winter 12/13 brochure. This year it was all about lifestyle photography rather than action photography, which in hindsight, was an absolute blessing because believe it or not the weather was even worse than for the Ski Club shoot the week previously. It was snowing quite heavily which was great, but with it came fog! Nothing can kill an outdoor photo shoot stone dead like fog can, so we spent the next 4 days trying our best to get above it or below with varying degrees of success. At one point we went up to 3300m to get above it, which didn’t work at all and just succeeded in freezing the models hair in the -10 wind chill. When the weather is that bad I generally try and fill the frame with the model as much as possible, leaving less room for grey skies, I also punched up the colour on the sensor of my new Nikon D4, this was straight out of the box and I have to say is an utterly incredible bit of kit.
It all worked out in the end but it was hard going, good job I had such a great crew with me because even though the weather was bad, spirits where sky high and we had so much fun. Many, many thanks to Rebecca, Martin, Duncan and Charlotte from Sandra Reynolds, Anna, Craig and Emily from Mountain Warehouse and once again the Chamois and Underground for keeping us feed and watered (booze)

So within 12 hours of getting back from Verbier I was on my way to the George the Third Hotel in Penmaenpool, Dolgellau, to shoot the Spring / Summer 12 range for Mountain Warehouse. Once again I was working with Noddy Gowerns who was filming some product clips. After a great nights sleep in our superb rooms we woke up to fog which was pretty much down to toe level. Not to be put off and after a good breakfast we headed out and started work, happily the fog was starting to lift a little and our models Charlotte, Sarah, Duncan and Martin from Sandra Reynolds soon got into the swing of things. We had a couple of really good days up in the hills, down in the moss filled valleys and on the beautiful beaches of the Mawddach estuary. After which we returned to sunny Shropshire and met up with the kids at Carding Mill Valley in Church Stretton. All in all it was a really fun shoot, but after 4 days we all had to say goodbye, but only for a while until we meet up again in the alps in April. I then went home for a day before flying out to Tenerife for my next 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.

At the end of this month I flew out to Switzerland with a new client, Dare 2b. We where going out to shoot their AW12 range in Saas Fee. We had such a good week with incredible weather for the whole time whilst staying at the fabulous Ferienart Resort and Spa. I won’t post the finished results until they have been published but until then I’ll leave you with a landscape instead.

Here’s a a few shots from a catalogue I’ve shot this month for Mountain Warehouse in Bury St Edmonds and Shropshire. We shot some equestrian pictures for the launch of their new range and we also shot their AW11/12 Outdoor Range. For once the weather was actually on our side and we had a great time at Catherine Peck‘s stables with her magnificent horses. We then headed up to Shropshire and shots some hiking, running, biking and country casual clothing on the Long Mynd and at Lake Vyrnwy Here a few shots for the country casual ware.

With the pavements melting in the heat, and the Tennis at Wimbledon in full swing what better time to show up for a photo shoot. I arrived amongst all the ball bouncing, strawberries and Pimms to shoot the Ski Club of Great Britain’s winter fashion assignment. Thank God we had a wind machine is all I can say as the models were virtually melting in the down jackets and thermals. We went for a real person look rather than the uber airbrushed android look as it fits with the sort of person who uses this kind of gear. Even though it was baking hot and tempers could have easily frayed it actually turned out to be good fun. Many thanks to Maisha, Rosie, Kate, Zara, Caleb, Alex, Sarah, Pike and Joel. Below are a couple of my favourites.
