Colin Firth and Livia Firth, Green Carpet Challenge

Livia Firth’s Green Carpet Challenge has really been put to the test with Colin Firth winning an Oscar.

But rising to the occasion dressed in very ethical dress by Gary Harvey – garyhoarveycreative.com Livia is proving it is possible to look amazing while dressed in ethical fashion.

The Brighton eco story

For this test I hooked up with a few friends, one with a shop in Brighton and my sister.

They are both uber creative, so mix us all up together and I think we got some great images. There was a vintage
feel running through this story, and a slightly theatrical feel to the setting of both the shop, Igigi, and clothes, some of which were provided
by eco brand PR company Element23. All in all another crackin’ day!

Denim images

Really enjoyed making these images. Great crew, and although the studio took the cake away before we had a chance to eat any – it all went smoothly!

Yard Zombies Ball

Another cracking party provided by the surfing, skating, fun-loving South Devon crew The Yard. I think I saw 2 out of 200+ folk not dressed to the nines! After an hour I had to put my kit down and get involved…

Three men in a tub

A few years ago some friends of mine built a drivable bath tub as part of a comic performance. We had lots of fun driving it around Liverpool Street for a day, and got some very funny looks!

Wind-blown dark corners

olga.jpg olga.jpgolga.jpg alexa chung.jpg

This is a collection of the moody side of my studio work, all shot in the last year or so for a range of publications and for my portfolio. Some shot on film and some on digital – I wanted to see how digital handles this lower level of lighting that film treats so well.

 

Party!

For me so far this has been one of the best parties of the summer.
Congratulations to Ben and Oli for making the big 3-0.
I could not put my camera down till late the following afternoon – it was summer in the Devon countryside at its best!

Shooting Jayne at dusk, Brighton

We shot at dusk on the sea front at Rottingdean, near Brighton. Some kids threw rocks at us and one missed the model’s head by inches. Not ideal.

Lauren at dawn, Brighton

We drove from London to Brighton the night before this shoot and managed to take the wrong road. Ended up in Hastings and, after being delayed by a massive accident, I think it took about three hours to get to Brighton. Two hours sleep later, we’re shooting on the seafront by Hove Lawns opposite Wells Coates’ Embassy Court – recently renovated beautifully by Terence Conran.

Russell Brand with his two favourite things

He’s holding a blue rose given to him by some kind of Hare Krishna guru, and on the floor there’s his last framed UB40 to remind him how few jobs there are that he can do. Nice guy. Talked a lot!

Contrast shoot with Alice Dellal

Two different ideas here that worked well together: first strong poses and a harder, graphic feel; the second softer, more fluid forms and natural shapes.
