The reflections and distortions from mirrors and tiles in this small shower space made for some interesting shots of model Harry.

Transcendence

I love the simplicity and expression in this shot of model Harry, taken on a hotel room floor in natural light.

After the Fight

Remembering this cool shoot with model Dom at the old Schoolhouse. We only had a few hours but the light through those old windows and on the front porch was amazing. Thanks Dom! ๐Ÿ˜€

Glitch in the Matrix

You can still shoot something, even if the room isn't big enough to swing a cat in...wait, did you just see a cat?

Working Late

Itโ€™s hard to believe itโ€™s already two years since my first collaboration with Harry in Birmingham. Hereโ€™s a look back at some images featuring a โ€˜businessman working lateโ€™ vibe which are still some of my favourites. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

The Steam Master

A look back to my shoot with model Nigel. We had a set of images ideas we wanted to work on, but when Nigel started to vape, well, I saw this homage to Tom of Finland...

Afterglow

A beautiful pairing of models Harry and @tonyxavierphoto.bsky.social from our recent collaboration in London. The golden light streaming into the room was amazing, really elevating the mood and expression of our shots. More to follow!

Past, Present / Private Investigator

You may be thinking Iโ€™m based in London or the UK, but Iโ€™m actually based in Ireland ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช and travel for most of my shoots. Here's Irish model Richard a couple of years ago. Richard has the most amazing eyes!

A look back to a fantastic, creative shoot in Dublin with Irish model Michael ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช I decided to swap my camera gear from Fujifilm to Sony the day before - so no stress!

You Can Leave Your Hat On...

Model Steve brought a vintage Policeman's helmet to our shoot. I love the vulnerability and emotion he gives these images - a reluctant participant of 'The Full Monty'...

Autumn is Here

Some golden hour shots of model Liam a few weeks back. The orange jacket, the walls and the buttery light all make for some Autumnal themed images.

Itโ€™s enhanced a little with Photoshop - but no AI

Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk

When you've shot everything on your list - get the milk out! A few cups of milk splashed across Harry closed out our shoot :-)

Milk Tray

You need to be of a certain age to remember the Milk Tray commercials, but a pop of colour and the black and white was enough for my mind to go thereโ€ฆ Hereโ€™s a one light fashion set-up with Harry.

โ€œSex and Politicsโ€ explores the intersections of sexuality, representation, and power in contemporary photography. The exhibition features artists whose work engages the body, desire, and the cultural ideologies that shape them.

Thrilled my image will feature!

Harvey Quinn

On our last shoot, Harry and I mixed in some female clothing into our set-ups. We have done this before, but these pieces were particularly glitzy and glamorous! There was only one thing to do: ramp up the camp to 11 ๐Ÿ˜Žโœจ๐Ÿคฉ

I love these shots of Harry10_London, taken from our collaboration with @tonyxavierphoto.bsky.social in London.

Harry effortlessly oozes sex-appeal.
