Last week had a fun shoot with Jim to photograph 19 different types of leather jackets for Black Scissor tailoring. I have put a couple of my favorites up here, each jacket was shot from 3 different angles.

Leather jackets are not an item of clothing which I normally wear but there were some really nice designs in the collection.

The client had asked for an urban look for the shoot, and found a great location, a dis-used housing estate just outside of Cardiff.

There were so many cool places to shoot, it made the whole process really fun. A big thanks to Jim for modeling at short notice and doing a stellar job!

I always forget to get setup shots, but here is one for once! Each jacket had quite different features which needed to be captured. I used a mixture of natural sunlight and strobe for the shoot, depending on the particular location. Here two flashes are being used.

If you would like to purchase a jacket, you can go on Black Scissor tailoring’s website.

Next week I will be in Bristol taking photos, looking forward to that.

A quick portrait session with illustrator Tinhed. Also going to be doing a website with him soon, go see Foals for some of his drawings. Expect big things to be coming from his way soon.

Tunnel vision at the moment… Big project is finished a week Thursday, it will be a big relief to get that out the way and I can enjoy some of the beautiful weather that is slowly creeping round the UK.

Oceana played host to the first of the hopefully bi-annual Caridff Fashion Week taster. The Ice Room was pretty well filled where several local designers displayed their clothes.

CUTV were also filming some pieces for interviews. It would be great it Cardiff Fashion Week were to take off, there are some really talented designers in Cardiff and it’s fantastic to see their wares being put out there.
