May and April Flower Updates

So because of the April blog not being done last month, we are left with a double helping for your viewing pleasure. Thanks as always to Chris and the ladies at the Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. For all their help. A special thanks also to them for providing the paper that was used to make a paper dress with model Maryna Sedin. Shoot to be published in next months blog update.

So that's it for this month. Please come back for more at the end of June.

October Flower Updates

I do not know if its seasonal and perhaps because of Halloween, but our friends at the Brambles Florist pull out all the stops to get us some very different flowers this month. We always get top quality flowers to photograph from them, but there are some strange ones here today. One of my favourites is the dark red gerbera that looks as though its been through a shredder with spiky petals. One of the flowers that resembles buds on the end of two slender spikes is still opening. So I hope to get a second shoot out of them soon. So its a huge thanks to Chris and the ladies at the Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. You never cease to amaze me! And of course a big thanks to my assistant and wife Amy for her long sufferance and help.

So that is it for this month,. Thank you for tuning and and seeing just what we have to offer this month and hopefully see you all safely again in November.

Bye for now x

Added to them are a few snaps of the huge red tulips from Mercybongo and Carls garden they cut for the photo shoot that will appear in next months blog update, So all round another productive month on the flowers front. Thanks then to Chris and the ladies at Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours for all their invaluable help. Thank you also to Amy for all her help.

October Flower Updates

Now that the weather has cooled down a bit its far easier to work in the home studio without poring with sweat all day long and generally making life uncomfortable. So I went to the Brambles Florist this last Friday to get some flowers for inspiration and capture and as always they did not let me down. So a warm thanks to Chris and the ladies at the Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours for providing me with an interesting selection. A thank you also to Amy for her help on the day of shooting.

See you all next month x


August Flower Updates

We have a good mixture of flowers on offer this month, including a shabby chic gerbera from the Brambles Florist. A flower from Tyler Dyce for Amy's birthday I could not pass on photographing and even a plastic one for good measures. See if you can spot it?

As always our biggest thanks go out to our friends at Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. Chris, Gail and Nina who never cease to come up with new flowers at there best. Thanks to then and to Amy for her help.

That is it for this month, be sure to come back again in September x

July Flower Updates

We got some great images of the flowers this month, with one flower that looks more like it came out of a coral reef than anything that grows in a garden. Chris at the florist did tell me what it was called, but I sadly I cannot recall the name. In fact I have photographed it separately from various angles, because I can see it coming in use with a Digital Art picture I have in mind. So thanks then as always to Chris and Gail at Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours for their great help and suggestions. Thanks also to Amy for helping me take the pictures.

That's it for this month, be sure to come back in late august for a new crop of floral pics.

February Flower Updates

So as well as the new 'Squared B/W/ ' gallery above we also have the regular flower pictures fresh from the shop. Remember those storms we had a few weeks ago, well they clashed with me going to The Brambles Florist and I was worried that the flowers would not stand the short journey to the taxi? Luckily I got around this problem by going a few days later, when it was still blowy but manageable. So here is this February offerings thanks in no small way to our friends Chris and Wendy at Flowers To Yours and Brambles Florist,

See you next month.

October Flowers Update

Another great month for flowers, provided by Chris and Wendy at Flowers To Yours and Brambles Florist. Its that time of the year for gladioli flowers, so I had a couple to see which one came out the best. They can be awkward to capture sometimes because of their size, but if you concentrate on one flower over and above a series of flowers it can look good.

So thanks then to Chris and Wendy for their much needed help and support along with a shout out to Amy for her input on the day.

September Flower Updates

Due to the two fashion shoots I had this month, I had to photograph the flowers a good week before I normally would have. Thankfully Chris at Flowers To Yours was very understanding and allowed me to have a few of his finest a couple of weeks ago. The emphasis this month is more on shape and form rather than straight forward flowers. So slightly different, but still worth a look. Thanks then to Chris and Wendy at Flowers To Yours and Brambles Florist for their brilliant help. And a thank you also to Amy for assisting me photograph them.

April Flower Updates and a few extras

The flower gallery for this month was again provided with the great assistance of my friends at Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours. I really could not do this without their valuable input and hope the pictures do them justice. Shout out then to Chris at Flowers To Yours and to both Wendy and Nina at Brambles Florist. Check out their web sites at the highlights above, you will not be disappointed. That is it for this month, so please do come back in May.

Thank you x

March Flower Updates and a few extras

I got my hands on a great selection of flowers this month and got straight to work on them. The flowers come courtesy of Chris and Wendy at the brilliant Brambles Florist and amazing Flowers To Yours. Check their links out as you will not be disappointed. Thanks also to Amy for her help and a few extras from the garden she put in.

I would very much wish to dedicate this months flower galley to my friend Tyler Dyce x

February Flowers Update

Another productive flower shoot in the home studio with absolute thanks to my friends at Brambles Florist and Flowers To Yours.
