I know, it would have been a bit more interesting I suppose if they had filmed the whole shoot something that I'm thinking about for future shoots. Here is the link to the littlewoods site where they used the shots plus they used the shots for all...

About Me:
Born and brought up in Glasgow, Scotland. By the age of 18 Ian was DJing by night and studying photography by day. In his second year as a photographer, the BBC made a TV programme about him called ‘A Style of One’s Own’.

He then became Artist in Residence for Photography at the Glasgow School of Art and in 1990 held a show representing Glasgow as part of its ‘City of Culture’ programme.

Soon after came his first album cover for Wet Wet Wet followed by a series of portraits for Vidal Sassoon that were published in American Vogue.

Ian moved to London in ‘91 and continued his successful career shooting portraits of artists, celebrities and real people.

Known for his natural, no-gimmicks style, Ian’s images are authentic, honest and strikingly expressive.

Electric Shock

I picked up this coiled extension lead, plugged it into the wall, like you do and thought great this will do the trick, so I walked over to one of my strobes holding the end of the extension lead when WALLOP!!! yep, one hell of an electric shock w… Continue

Road photos across USA

Hi, Im planning on doing a trip across US starting L.A. all route 66 ending in Chicago and then to New York.
Any tips of things that I can find to shoot along the way ?
It can be anything, from sightseeing to a famous crazy guy in a town.

Regards,

Diego

Guardian Rights Grab

Hi Folks,

This is the letter I have just sent to Chris Elliott at the Guardian. Now he won't care what I say, probably won't care if a score of us write. But if every single photographer reading this were to write, then GNM might just listen.

Just remember, selling rights to our work is what makes us Professional photographers. If our clients start eroding those rights further, along with that fact that there is simply less work around today, then more of us will find it impossible to make a l… Continue
