An amazing hail storm hit Longham, Dorset last night and I was right in it. I photographed it, just after it had passed over me, heading towards Dudsbury. The storm ‘washed’ the sky leaving a beautiful, calm, clear evening over Longham Lakes.

We have produced a suite of sports portraits of students from The University of Nottingham.
The images will be lifesize and we wanted to make them feel strong and imposing. We shot the images outdoor and, unusually for a location shoot, hoped for rain, which thankfully we got. We used location lighting to highlight the models and to create a heavy contrast between them and the background.
