Silly tea shoot

A few days ago, I was admiring the red swirls coming out of my berry tea and invented stories about an elegant waltz dancer that didn't have a partner so she kept swirling on her own...daydreaming...anyway I didn't have any red berry tea left which is a real pity because they are the most photogenic but I did have another Lipton citrus one (and I dont want to know what they put in it for I know that taste can't be all natural but hey the colour is nice) and I played around with it.

For the purpose of the shoot, I did things the other way around, first the hot water, then the tea...

Lipton Citrus...so hot it can't handle its own heat :-D that'd be a good continuity for my silly ad series...

And what about that one below, Lipton V Barry's tea in a jacuzzi, who can sustain the heat best ?

Cara Magazine feature on horse racing

I was thrilled to assist Trevor Hart on the 2 day shoot that he was commissioned to do for the August edition of the Aer Lingus in-flight magazine CARA and just as thrilled to see that not only was he credited but so was I for my tiny role in the making of these beautiful imagery., which tells a lot about how the publisher Image appreciate and respect their contributors. I particularly love the look (grading) that Trevor chose for these. They really look stylised and the lighting on location really made a huge difference. Have a look at his blog on this assignment, there's a cool behind-the-scene video that I put together too.
