A work in progress…

I had a little helper with me in the studio last week. I have been so busy with shooting products recently I have really fallen behind posting anything on social media, so she did this little thing…

Portraits of Tim Andrews – Over The Hill Project

I first photographed Tim a few years ago for his Over The Hill project , I was delighted when he agreed to another shoot last week. Tim who has Parkinsons Disease started ‘Over the hill’ in 2008 and over the last 8 years he has been Photographed by over 400 Photographers. When I received an email to say that he was wrapping up the project I emailed him straight back and asked if he would be interested in posing for me again.

It’s rare as a Photographer to have the opportunity of someone offering to pose to be completely open minded and flexible, Tim is such a great sport an artist in his own right he is such a charming interesting person to spend time with. I wanted to explore my ideas around visually framing images of fragility and vulnerability he soon wrote back, “Dark, moody, feathers, eggs, naked, bubble wrap??? Are you kidding? Of course l am up for it!!!”

Every now and again I get the chance to meet up with a few photographer buddies and we go out and take pics of things for fun. Here are a few pics from Jimmy’s Farm Butterfly House:
