One of the things I love about photography is all the amazing people you get to meet and work with. In the past 6 months I've met all sorts of people from box office film stars, to fashion icons and even a guy who creates art out of bubblegum on the street!
Of course, these are often short meetings, and are rarely more than a few hours long, sometimes only a few minutes. In contrast, I might spend all day with a photographic team, on repeated occasions, especially if we enjoy working together and creating cool images! It's these guys that are instrumental in creating the final images. Photography is a collaborative process, whether it be a massive team of people working on a big budget shoot, or a one on one with you and your subject. It's all about everyone involved working together to create something special. I nearly always work with make-up artists and stylists on shoots. They're often in the background, and get little more recognition than a small credit and a thank you. Well this morning, whilst waiting for a make-up artist to pop round for a meeting, I decided I was going to showcase a few of the people I work with, and put them in front of the camera. The resulting images will be posted on here along side some of the work we've done together. It's my way of giving something back for all the hard work they put in to making my photographs as good as they can be.

Nail hit firmly on head Jay. The creatives are part of the image, without them, its not a picture!
