Hare Krishna

Nick Floating monk 587x449 Hare Krishna

Our studio was made extra serene last week when a monk came to join us for the day. The smell of  jasmine filled the air and sounds of Buddhist chanting made for a very relaxing shoot.

Here we see our subject perfecting the art of yogic flying.

Shankar flowers 587x446 At the Shankar hotel

Whilst recovering from a recent climbing expedition in the Himalaya I found these beautiful flowers in full bloom…..right next to the pool !

………. I’m also working on a landscape series from the same trip.

Kenroku-en 1

Stalking people is hard. I sometimes shoot with a strange looking camera called an Alpa www.alpa.ch which makes images of an amazing quality. It’s a slow camera to work with which is great as it slows the process of picture making right down and gives one time to think. You have to measure the light independently, measure the point of focus independently…… it takes some getting used to. Whilst in Kanzanawa, Japan I spent a day in the gardens of Kenroku-en. I soon found myself following people around….. waiting for the right moment…. for a happy accident. I find that pretending to photograph something whilst observing people on the periphery and waiting for that special something can produce a picture where its subjects are totally unaware of being placed within a carefully constructed image. It’ll probably get me into some bother one day though.
