Post production..

By alistair | Published: January 22, 2015
Oh the joys of editing. It’s not always obvious what lengths photographers go to, in order to achieve that finished image. Take the residential project below. Unfortunately a north facing garden had ravaged the Yorkstone patio with algae. One of the many jobs in post production was to clean the paving. In hindsight, a Karcher [...]

The blog limps on…

By alistair | Published: November 11, 2014
A recent chat with a client revealed how lacking my blog has been. Excuses, excuses – life, work, family (in no particular order). I now have a beautiful 11 month old son, in addition to a house that is almost finished. Building work and babies really do not mix! I’ve also been shooting some fabulous [...]

Merry Christmas everyone! Another year passes in a flash (excuse the pun)… I’m already looking forward to shooting in Skye and Northumberland, with those unmistakable landscapes…a road trip beckons! Did I mention that I love my job

Modern cool….

By alistair | Published: December 5, 2012
Variety. That’s one of the best aspects of my job. One day I’m shooting a rambling 16th century farmhouse, then a villa in Spain, then a modernist masterpiece. This spectacular design is the creation of Sean Daly from Western Design Architects, in Dorset. The two volumes are connected by huge glass panels, showering the interior [...]

Beautiful Light…

By alistair | Published: December 5, 2012
What a difference 2 hours on a plane makes. I recently shot a fantastic project completed by Katherine Richards Design; they specialise in vibrant interiors with unique sculptures, bespoke furniture and lots of colour. No beige or greige! The light was gorgeous. A far cry from the monochrome skies of the UK!

Spring’s here..

By alistair | Published: March 21, 2012
Yesterday I cranked over the engine in my trusty 70s camper – more than a few times! Eventually, after a splutter or two, she started. That final splutter is a sure sign that Spring is here: the camper (aka Lilly) is my mode of transport/home when travelling the UK shooting interiors – Devon next week [...]

Alongside editorial and interiors I’ve been shooting lots of commercial buildings for clients such as CBRE, Jones Lang Lasalle, Stanhope…. Here’s a small sample of cool London architecture…

Time flies when you’re having fun….

By alistair | Published: October 13, 2011
Talk about busy. I’m afraid that despite the best intentions, my foray into blogging has been far from the weekly or even monthly affair that I originally envisaged. Have I been a man of leisure, kicking back all these months? I’m afraid not! I’ve been working with some fabulous clients, shooting super cool homes for [...]

The ultimate scouting camera..

By alistair | Published: February 15, 2011
Like women and shoes, photographers can never have too many cameras… Micro four thirds, 35mm, medium format, large format – just some of the kit that I get to use on a regular basis.. So, when I need a camera that just about fits into my pocket, I take the Panasonic GF-1. I love this [...]
