Lucy Burn Hairdressing

This shoot was for ND Creative, Lucy approached them wanting a flyer promoting her home visit hairdressing business. She needed a few up to date shots to give the flyers an approachable yet professional feel. I have posted two of the best finished designs with the photos incorporated and a handful of others. She was super happy and exclaimed ‘I can’t believe its really me!’.

Anyone wanting a fantastic friendly and salon expert service with face shape and colour analysis, give Lucy a call on 07950 416622.

Zoe & Dexter at the Hancock Museum

These portraits were taken in the Hancock Museum one evening as a bit of an experiment with slow shutter speeds. Some of the colours and compositions were really vibrant and different so I thought I would post a few of the best.

Contortion and lad dads in Sugar this month

Well this week I am super pleased to have shots in two articles of this month’s edition of Sugar mag. One reports international teenage contortionist Cristina’s story of non traditional schooling and instead doing lots of crazy bending and shooting of bows and arrows from her feet, as you do! The other is a gritty real life report of the teen lads group here in Newcastle which led to work previously posted for Barnardo’s, all interesting stuff!

 

 

Barnardo’s teen mums

Having recently worked along side Barnardo’s on a Sugar shoot, they asked me to support them with imagery for a teenage pregnancy progression leaflet.  Having previously captured the dads, I visited the mums support group in Byker which offered a brilliant opportunity for a range of positive messaged portraits.

Thanks to all those cooperative mums who helped contribute to a fantastic set of shots!

Sugar Comission

I have recently been commissioned by Sugar magazine in London to cover stories in the northern region. The magazine is targeted at teenage girls and covers a broad range of real life stories. I have covered teen bully victims, teen dads and a teen contortionist who ran away with the circus. The commissions are fantastic as they are real adventures into unknown worlds.

This one was a little sad as the subject Beth, had been seriously bullied on Facebook with a group of 150 people from her school joining a hate group and sending death threats. I hoped the shoot would be a little bit of respite and fun for her, and in turn, raise awareness of the horrors of bullying.

Teen dads and circus girl will be up once Sugar release them…
