Here’s the next video in the little series I’ve been doing, showing the stuff I’ve been producing with Phase One medium format system. The video goes behind the scenes to look at a shoot we did in April this year (which I previously blogged about) where I directed and modelled with a [...]
Video 1/3: using Phase One for fashion portraits »
Check out my new video below – this takes a close-up look at pictures I shot with Phase One kit (645DF and p40+ back) at recent Shoot Experiences in London. I used a 75-150mm Phase One medium telephoto lens for most of the images seen in the video, and the quality of the lenses you [...]
Feedback on my Phase One ‘challenge’ »
Above: Burnt up, with model Sam Jey.
So, a few weeks ago I posted a long-winded blog entry about how I was embarking on an ‘intense period of creativity’ with a Phase One 645DF and P40+ back, along with lenses and a whole wad of ideas. Nearly at the end of this period with the medium-format [...]

Here’s the video from our latest May MC Motors shoot:
For this shoot we had a photographer join us from the Netherlands and even New York. Our five models this time were as fantastic as the last group. I shot with my Phase One gear again, plus Photoflex’s TritonFlashes and constant lights which I’m rather getting [...]
My promo video »
Last year, independent filmmaker and producer Alistair Briggs made a video of my first workshops that took place in a London studio. I was wowed by the cleancut result and posted it to my Vimeo page.

Our April production shoot: oodles of pictures & a new video »
We were back at the wonderful MC Motors for our second Miss Aniela Production Shoot Experience. Again, we invited a group of photographers, ranging from amateurs to pros and everything in between, for an all-day creative indulgence in the 6,000 sq/ft prop-laden utopia.

Snake shoot »
Double bind (view on flickr)
Last week I had a wonderful naked shoot with an animal I’d never even touched before. We shot with Honey the mega 9-foot, albino Burmese python (plus a smaller, 5-foot Royal Python). Collaborating with Matt to shoot images of myself posing, we shot on the private land of a friend, and [...]
