Food Glorious Food at 'One Blenheim Terrace'

Sometimes my work, just really isn't work!! ;) I had the pleasure of shooting the very swish and new restaurant 'One Blenheim Terrace' in London's St Johns Wood this week. Owner, head chef, and top guy 'Ed' was there with equally top guy and sous chef 'Stuart' to prepare some amazing dishes for photographing. The restaurant itself has a beautiful, elegant and calm feel... It has a huge glass roof to the frontage making life for me much easier with an abundance of natural light available... I have to confess, i did have a few nibbles and got totally stuck into the Wellington!!! It was STUNNING!! .... Hope they need me back there again very soon to update the new forthcoming site!! ... enjoy and go visit them, you will be very pleasantly surprised.

Photographing the Southbank with Energy

My lovely clients at  'energy design' gave me a great job recently down along London's Southbank. My shots were to be used in a local area guide, marketing the swanky new 'Grange Garden' housing development down near Bermondsey. These are the sort of jobs i just love!! Me, my camera, lots of walking and hunting out interesting places, features, and funky people. The weather was glorious, so i jumped on my motorbike and headed down there early. My brief was to show the local area, its atmosphere, the characters, the bars and restaurants etc. If there is one aspect to documentary/reportage photography i love it is capturing the things that are there, happening under your nose... I love people watching and seeing people going about their busy lives.

Have to say the cover shot was my fave also, so glad it made it there!! :-)[slideshow]

If you are down that way, why not pop into Grange Garden and see some of my images displayed in the reception area... here are a few shots from my iphone of me having a peek myself last week :-)[gallery columns="4" orderby="ID"]
