With my love of film, I recently went to a networking night held by Shooting People -an international networking organisation dedicated to the support and promotion of independent filmmaking.

Huge congratulations to Layla for coming second in Big Brother Australia 2012! I had huge hopes for her winning it but coming away from a great experience with new friends, a new car and $10,000 can’t be bad! In homage to Layla, I thought I’d release a few more images from one of our fashion shoots way back in the day! This was from a test shoot we did in Manchester looking at the hide and reveal nature of lace […]

Blocking and rehearsals were done in […]
Soooo it looks like Doctor Who may be making its way to Hollywood! I have to admit I’m in two minds about this one. As happy as I am to see Doctor Who get to the big screen it makes me wonder if the big budget treatment will ruin the fundamental appeal of the series’ crappy special effects, tongue in cheek story lines and the pepper pot baddies. Of course this isn’t the first Doctor Who movie ever made but […]
