Behind The Scenes - Sherlock: Blood, Sweat & Chalk

Just over three years ago, I was commissioned to undertake a spot of guerilla advertising to promote the third season of Sherlock, that premiered on New Year's Day in 2014. The end of the last season saw Sherlock jump off the top of St Bartholomew's Hospital, in the episode 'The Reichenbach Fall'.

Ahead of the season finale of @bbcone Sherlock on Sunday, I've written about a project I undertook for the show.

October Favourites

In today's blog, I'm listing some of my favourite things that I've discovered or used in October. Some things are photography related, some not so much, but I think they're worth knowing about.

Retouching: Necessary or Evil?

Retouching. The root of all evil. The scourge of women. Or. The digital plastic surgeon. The pusher of pixels. Or most likely, somewhere in between.

In which I have a ranty ramble about retouching. I promise it’s more interesting than I’ve made it sound.

Shoot Breakdown: A Portrait Session with Tanya Burr

Back in March, in a studio in East London, up 10 flights of stairs (it was probably more like 3, but I was carrying my lighting kit, so exaggeration feels warranted), I had the pleasure of once again working with Tanya Burr. We were there to shoot a couple of portraits, and had a beautiful, airy and bright studio to work in.

New blog post up! I go through the set ups for portraits from a shoot with Tanya Burr back in March.

I recently had the opportunity to work with the lovely @tanyaburr on something a little bit different. Make sure you look up #TimeForGirls.
