Model fashion shoot: Nicolie Campbell (Pretty Boy Assassin) Boxer and Athlete
He is up for a big fight on October 2nd, so I was lucky to get this shoot in before hand.
I have worked with Nicolie many times before and he really is a pleasure to photograph. Known in the ring as PBA or Pretty Boy Assassin, we all went to The Boardroom studio in Derby for the shoot and got the best pictures yet. Nicolire looked great and was on top form that day. So it only leaves me to thank those in attendance including studio owner, Phil Lynam, who's help was invaluable. And special mention to my wife Amy for her help on set as well.
A huge thanks to Nicolie and here's wishing him all the best of luck for this coming Saturday's big fight. As you said in the car home, 'He's coming from all the way from Manchester, but I don't care where he is from … I am going to kick his ass !!!'
Thats the spirt.

Model Fashion Shoot introducing Marie Jean Saxton
Collected here are the results from a shoot long planned and in the making with fashion model Marie Jean Saxton. And what an amazing model she is. You could not take a bum picture of her, she is the master of her craft and great to work with. The original idea was to shine 1970's advertisement pictures on her, but sadly that did not pan out. I could have added them in Photoshop, but again it did not look right and confused the picture. On top of which, come the day of the shoot. my angina starts playing up and doing all sorts of strange things to my heart and breathing. Yet we all got it done and on time. … well just about. So here they are, a 1970's inspired shoot with thanks to Marie, to Shadrine at Kavour Beauty for her hair and makeup. Plus a shout out to Phil at The Boardroom Studio, Derby.
L'Opus De Tyler Dyce
I wanted to put together a few pictures from the work that Tyler and I did together over the years she was with me as a thank you and wonder down memory lane. Its a long slide show and tune provided by the late Isaac Hayes.
I seriously doubt that I shall ever find another model like her again.

Model Fashion Shoot introducing New Model Shay Holden
The lovely Shay Holden contacted me through Instagram a few weeks back and we agreed to hook up for a shoot on location in Nottingham, and I am glad we did. Not only because it got me out of the house, but also it was fun being on location with this great new model from Lincoln. We went to the Nottingham Contemporary Art gallery for most of the shoot with Amy in tow to help me out.
A big shout out must go also to my brilliant makeup artist Shadrine at Ka'Vour Beauty for her great work. We came to her shop, we had the makeup done, drank her tea and vandalised the shop !! Sorry Shadrine. xx

Model Fashion Shoot introducing New Model 'Moyolistic'
The second shoot of the month took place in The Boardroom studio in Derby with another new model calling herself Moyolistic. She was the runner up in an African Beauty contest and was amazing in front of the camera. The shoot was set into two half's with the first half being a more ethereal look with a wedding vail and peonies provided by my friend Chris at Flowers To Yours. Colour graded blue in Capture One and Photoshop the set is titled 'Délicate,' and has its own sideshow to compliment it.
The second part of the shoot was based around the Panton Colour of the Year which is Yellow, so all things yellow were in employ. The original pictures were a lot darker, but I warmed it up in editing to gain a pleasing result. Thanks then to model Moyolistic for being great. Thanks also to Shadrine at Ka'Vour Beauty for her amazing makeup as always and to studio owner Phil for the use of his pad. Enjoy the results.
