In time for Valentines day, I uncovered these lovers from the allotment.

It breaks my heart to ever separate them, perhaps their last song-swan shall be spicy, creamy and in soup form!

Ten days of shooting Northern Rock customers in the North East was an amazing time, it was great to work so intensively with such a great team, thank you to Gary & Dave at Farm, Michael our makeup expert and of course my excellent assistant Issy.

I am very lucky in being able to also meet such diverse people and to photograph how they live.

January saw me up in Newcastle to shoot the new Northern Rock Campaign ‘works for me’.

We started the week with a two day casting session, were we met an interesting and inspiring cross section of Northern Rock customers.

The shoot started properly four days later where we went on to do about 45 portraits in the next ten days.

You will be seeing a selection in the windows of Northern Rock soon!
