Ludovic Favier is a brilliant French model whom I had the pleasure of photographing last June in Spain. We wandered through the streets and parks of Barcelona in scorching heat looking for locations, chatting and taking photos - totally laid back and old school; just us two and the camera:

Working with Paul Hodgkiss. Photographing designs by Paul Hodgkiss truly isn't a difficult task. His beautiful, unique, hand-crafted furniture pieces with variety of curves and textures are as photogenic as house fittings can get. Having captured Paul's design work at such places as The Meat Bar, Palomino and Bowmore Hotel I was commissioned to photograph his stunning, newly open showroom in Glasgow's South Side as well as the workshop where the original pieces take shape:

Electric Waterfalls
My very first shoot this year was a blast! I met singer/songwriter Caroline Gilmour in 2014 and we collaborated then on her Paper Planes release. We got together again in January this year to shoot cover and promo images for her brand new EP Electric Waterfalls (released this month). Vivienne Masters was in charge of styling the shoot and Caroline Stewart did wonders with hair and make up:

Tristan Cameron Harper
I've been meaning to do this post for ages but keeping this blog up to date is clearly not high on my agenda (despite the "UPDATE BLOG" scribbles on my notice board as well as notifications on my iPhone...)! Anyways.... Towards the end of last year, I had the pleasure of working with model/ice hockey player Tristan Harper. I rarely do TFP shoots so I'm quite careful about which projects I choose to get involved with under this banner. This one seemed like an interesting opportunity however as I didn't have photos of such bearded, tattooed and slightly rough around the edges guys in my portfolio. Tristan turned out to be an absolute gentleman and a total pleasure to work with. Results below:
