Lamp designer Piers Saxby Candy asked me to shoot his collection of bespoke lamps and tables. His wooden counter balanced jelly desk lamp feature hand poured lead weights and plaster shades cast from vintage jelly moulds and have a wonderful playful quality.
Piers also has a range of arc floor lamps with reclaimed industrial lights and a unique side table with a tactile lead top which again Piers hand poured.
You can buy Piers lamps from Folklore and Liberty London or contact Piers directly to discuss commissions. visit // pierssaxbycandy.com/
For a touch of luxury in the bedroom why not treat yourself to some silk sheets. And don’t stop at sheets and pillowcases, you can even buy silk duvets and blankets.
The client for this shoot was online bedding company ‘Silksleep’, who wanted a new collection of images that were contemporary and luxurious and which would appeal to all. We hired a beautiful property in London and set to work with the expert help of interior stylist Emily Blunden. Emily has a great eye for detail and got the beds looking perfect for each shot.
I was conscious of the old image that silk sheets had and I wanted the images to be bright and fresh, so shot the collection as if it were morning and someone had just got up out of bed. This also let the light show off the texture of the silk. There is however a lot work needed to make an unmade bed look just right.

Textile designer Julia Brendel is heavily influenced by Polish and Hungarian folk designs, lace and embroidery and her new collection reinterprets many old patterns with a modern twist. I met Julia at her home in Kent to take some shots for her new collection. As well as fabrics, Julia has a range of beautiful table cloths made using traditional methods in Poland as well as very chic drum shades that will add glamour to any room.

If you are not already familiar with print designer Rachel Powell, you will be.
Her cool midcentury inspired wallpapers are taking the blogosphere by storm and after this years Tent London she has been tipped as ‘one to watch’.
I photographed Rachel’s range (Prudence and Woodstock) earlier on in the year ready for her launch. We had a great time styling the set and I love the results as they are so graphic and powerful yet they have a great sense of humour.
Watch this space for more from Rachel as I will be shooting her new range, ‘Deere John’ next month…

Looking for the ultimate in chill out furniture? When it comes to bean bags the Fatboy is king and the Buggle-up has got to be the most versatile. It can be used indoors or out and is rain proof, stain proof and virtually indestructible. This versional features straps so it can be clipped into a seat shape to make it more supportive, alternatively just throw it down and lay all over it. Great for the games room, garden or camping. They also do a range of pet beds so your pampered pooch does not get too jealous.

Product photography done well can raise your profile and your sales. We’ve recently added a new ‘product photography’ section to the web site showcasing both studio packshots and products in a lifestyle environment.
I’ve been regularly shooting all types of products for companies large and small, from food to cosmetics, clothing to furniture.
If you have a collection of new items, or need a fresh take on your existing product range, call or email me and we can discuss how I can show your products off in the best light.
I know we are all hoping spring is just around the corner, with the promise of lighter evenings, flowers, new born lambs and all that, but don’t consign your hoodie to the wardrobe just yet; this is the UK after all. Anyway Plain Lazy sell a range hoodies and t-shirts you can wear at any time of year; these just happen to come from their new autumn/winter catalogues dream range which I shot for the guys last year. Have you ever had a dream when you thought you were floating? I often do…

Plain Lazy always had off the wall requests for their photoshoots and this one was no exception. For their new clothing catalogue they wanted something completely different. “We want the models to look like they are floating or crashing into the wall”, Larry told me at the photography briefing as he rolled out the ‘grandma’s house’ style wall paper.
This presented a unique set of challenges and I decided the best way to achieve the desired look was to photograph from directly above. I wanted the models to be able to pull very dynamic poses but not look like they were lying down.
I removed some roof panels from the portacabin we were using and set up on top with the studio directly below. This was very effective and I was really pleased with the results.
