Earlier this month I photographed some very cool lamps for surface and textile designer Rachel Powell.
Rachel has produced a unique collection of handmade bespoke etched wood veneer lampshades matched with vintage lamps. These are super cool and give off a mellow glow which adds instant cosiness to any room.

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.

This month also saw my photography featured in the March edition of Home Beautiful Magazine, one of Australia’s best loved lifestyle magazines.

The article was about tv rooms to die for and featured a fabulous lime green Ligne Roset, Togo corner sofa and bright orange foot stools and was a commission for London interior design firm Living In Space.

Earlier this month I had a whistle stop tour of the French alps on a shoot for Tui Travel.
We were out for four coffee fuelled days and stopped off in about five resorts ticking off the shots. No time for skiing though as once one hotel was shot it was back in the snow chain equipped peugeot and down the valley to the next resort. Still it is always nice to be out in the mountains and we came home with some great shots.

Yesterday saw the release of the sparkling new winter edition of Heart Home Magazine which is packed full of gorgeous interiors and home styling tips. For this issue I photographed the home of serial house mover Sarah Lazenby, who has moved house fifteen times over the last twenty-five years. She has now settled in the historic sussex town of Lewes and created a very warm and comfortable home in a Victorian terrace.

If you are looking for a body warmer now that winter has finally decided to put in an appearance then look no further than the Finisterre Bise Mk iv. These are awesome; great close fit so you can wear it under a fleece or jacket, lightweight and tough with a ripstop outer. But most important, they are warm with a Primaloft Eco recycled synthetic insulation. They pack down small as well, so you can throw it in your pack, great for stops on bike rides so you don’t cool down too much.

Here’s a peak at another property I shot recently for interior designer Carine Harrington. The owners had been inspired by the beach apartments in the Maldives which lead Carine to incorporate the wood paneling into the room as a clever storage area for all the family’s AV tech.

The chimney breast was clad in black stone tiles which gave a great contrast to all the wood whilst tying in the black Eames furniture and leather sofa. Despite the use of black and dark wood the room retains its light airiness thanks to the large white bay window with louvred shutters, which can easily be tilted to let in light without the loss of privacy.
