You could say that this was one of those images that nearly didn’t happen. I last worked with Lelly 6 months ago during her pregnancy – you’ll find the image I took in the Pregnancy gallery – and I’ve been meaning to shoot her again ever since.
Dee wanted some pictures in her new corset, and asked me to shoot them. So for her first time as a model she not only had to deal with my long-exposure shots and cramp-inducing poses, but had to do so …
As a result of Kodak’s decision to discontinue HIE High Speed Infrared film, I finally decided to have my Nikon D100 modified to make it a full-time infrared camera. The results are very different to those that I’m used to …

This is a shot from my first shoot last Friday with Ellie. Most of what I shot was large format HP5 for albumen printing, but we spent a little time at the end on lightpainting. I’m not sure how this …
