St. Valentines

Happy Valentines day to all those who are in Cupids chokehold, I slightly envy you. Never the less, here is a photo I shot messing around with a slow shutter speed and a red light, just for you.

Snowy Orwell

Yesterday morning I went for a walk with my pops along the Orwell river to shoot some photos whilst the snow was still there and untouched. I took these three photos to finish the film off on my Diana F+ and they overlapped quite nicely, so here are all three in all their glory. 

Oli, Oli, Oli!

Here is one from a the film I just got developed from my Diana F+. A portrait of Oli Bailey which I think I drunkenly took on November 5th at a back garden fire works display. 

He who hits the road is the one who lives

First off, a very belated happy new year to everyone who has been following my work and coming back time and time again. You are the reason I still keep this thing going. So cheers to you all.

Secondly, my apologies for not posting anything in a while. I have been on the road around various European countries since a few days before new year. I havnt been in one place for more than a couple of days. But this rainy day in holland seems like the perfect opportunity to sit down and write a post to keep those who care updated.

So lack of posts doesn't mean I havnt been keeping busy shooting, I have been through Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Belgium & now finishing up in Holland. Seen every kind of weather imaginable, besides a heat wave. Looking through my photos of this trip I am stunned by the variety of images.
Admittedly, majority of the photographs that have been taken are holiday snap shots for my own sake, but there are definitely some gems in there which I can't wait to share.

I'll be back with regular posts and updates soon.

And also a big announcement to come, if you're signed up to my facebook fan page you may already know...

Watch this space

With love

Sophie Robinson

My three favorite photographs from a shoot I did with Sophie Robinson on Christmas eve. Was a very fun and relaxed session which took no time at all.
Look out for Sophie next year, she'll be interviewing all kinds of famous music faces! 

Wintry Suffolk Countryside

A wintry Suffolk countryside scene around a 4pm sundown which I shot on my way home a few days ago.

Jammin'

I met up with Brendan Brunning for a roll on Monday, heading to the spot he was like "I've got this idea for a pole jam... it'd be about 5 or 6 ft. long but i think it might work..."

He went about setting up this pole jam, it quite frankly looked like bad news and I really had my doubts. So many things looked wrong about it and to help matters the landing was wet and like ice to roll on.

After both having several goes at it trying to figure out if it was doable or not, we both started getting out of the end of it to both our amazement! Brendan eventually landed the first one, and I followed him right up with a make to! Then Bren decided the wet floor wasn't enough of a bastard to land on, so he puts a piece of drift wood on a rock to land on to... just check the photo, he rolled it three times! Don't fuck with Brendan!

Mo Money Mo Problems

Movember, the month formerly known as November has not only become a good excuse for gents across the world to sport a mighty tash for a month, but a great way of raising money for the prostate cancer charity.

My brother set up an online donations page and has managed to raise £120. You can still donate by visiting the page, here is the link... http://www.justgiving.com/thomas-barker0?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=socspon&utm_content=thomas-barker0&utm_campaign=post-sponsor-facebook

Here are some photographs I took last night of some very well done Movember classics.
Which one is your favorite?
