Usage

Was checking out some of my favorite blogs this morning and came across this post on The Factory   - the great blog from the creative team over at Moodboard. It got me thinking how impersonal shooting stock can be.  Images get uploaded to your stock agencies websites - the images hopefully sell - you wait with bated breath each month for your sales report, hopefully showing plenty of quadruple digit sales(!) & some great usage - which you never see.

It's a great feeling when you do, but all too often you don't get to see it.   Here are a couple we did get to see recently...

Concepts 2

Been working on some more studio concepts this week- Marriage (more break-up really!) & Indulgence. Tuck in...

Waste

Another shot in the series of environmental images we've been working on recently.

Charity Shoot

The Compassionate Eye Foundation was set up by Vancouver based photographer Robert Kent to help improve the lives of people in developing nations through education, health and economic development.   Each year on or around June 21st, the Summer Solstice, photographers, their crews & Getty Image creatives around the world (including London, LA, Toronto & Vancouver), produce a one day stock photo shoot. The royalty revenues generated through image licensing at Getty Images are donated to CEF.   I was in good company, shooting at the London event with 4 great photographers, Rob Daly, Andrew Olney, Chris Newton & David Leahy producing a mixture of Boardroom, business life, portrait and still life imagery.   I was proud to have been part of this years UK shoot - a fun and productive day!

Here's a sneek preview of a couple of my shots from the day...
