I was very excited today to learn that I'd won the title "Model Mayhem Photographer of the Week"!  MM is a great site, showcasing some truly excellent work, so it's a thrill to win an award.

I'm delighted to say that I've just launched a brand new website - this time for the well-known London fetish club, Club RUB! 

As you may know, I've just created a set of 6 club fliers for Kim, the club owner. Kim also needed a new website, and having seen this site, she asked me if I would build one for her.  You can see the result at www.club-RUB.com! 

The wireframe and graphical design for this new site was created in collaboration with Kim and another friend of hers, Christina Kokott.  The programming task fell entirely to me lol.  It's something I knew little about before deciding I needed my own site for my photography, but I must say I enjoy the process of creating new websites very much.  The only problem is finding time to do it along with photography and running a company!

I must also say a big thankyou to the whole team at Joomla, the excellent open source content management system that I've used as a basis for all my sites.

I hope you enjoy the new club-RUB.com; please leave a comment here or there if you do...

Ive just uploaded a new Panorama shot, taken on the greek island of Santorini. This time I've learned that mounting the camera in portait orientation gives you a much taller panorama! The night-time view also makes this one my favourite so far. You can see the completed panorama here!

I've just finished adding a great new feature to the site.  You can now view all the galleries full-screen, in high resolution.   Just click the button on the right hand of the thumbnail strip.  I think it makes a huge difference - you actually get to see the full impact and sharpness of the photos.  I'm excited and I'd love to hear what you think!

While you're in the Gallery Menu, don't forget to look at the 3D photo wall as a fun alternative.  (You can view that full-screen too - just right click and select full screen from the dropdown menu).
