I mean - really simple.  But as it turned out it's been really hard to organise! But at last!  I have been saved by the ever-wonderful Sooz!  She took time out ... http://www.monkeytwizzle.com/blog/?p=633 Well, I'm out-doing myself this year.  Managed about one update to the website.  Go me! ;-)  So I've put together a fairly random selection of images from the past little while.  I think they're all 2010 but I might be wrong as I'm a bit tired and can't quite remember. Well, ... http://www.monkeytwizzle.com/blog/?p=568 I finally managed to get to work with the lovely Gemma Elise Gerber last week.  We'd spoken a few times last year about shoots but I never managed to organise anything as I'm inept ;-)  Turns out she stays just round the corner from me too - so it should ... http://www.monkeytwizzle.com/blog/?p=553 Well, I've managed to out-do myself in terms of not updating my website this year. Go me... So I've made a slideshow thing which has lots of shots from the shoots I've done this year that I didn't get round to posting on here.  I've probably missed some too - ... http://www.monkeytwizzle.com/blog/?p=536 I was terribly flattered to be asked to do some photo's for Scotland's new fashion magazine - Posed. I admit I was rather terrified by the whole affair ;-)  It was the first time I've ever shot in a studio and there were all sorts of proper photographers also doing ... http://www.monkeytwizzle.com/blog/?p=522 I've been very spoiled recently and had the chance to do another shoot for 'Obscure Couture'.  The clothes were simply wonderful - as usual!  And this time I had the truly lovely Lolita Trash up to stay too :-)  We also had the amazing talents of make-up artist Sian Lidgate ... http://www.monkeytwizzle.com/blog/?p=497 I managed to grab the delightful & dreamy Becka for another shoot last week.  I also got to play with my new blurry dreamy lens contraption to both of our delights ;-)  New toys are good ;-)  And working with Becka is always a delight :-) [gallery link="file"] http://www.monkeytwizzle.com/blog/?p=485 Seeing as I've been so utterly awful at updating the site & blog, I've decided to do a cumulative update of various recent (ish!) shoots.  I'd like to thank all the fabulous people I've worked with - both models and make-up artists.  You're all wonderful :-) Hopefully I'll get back into ... http://www.monkeytwizzle.com/blog/?p=399 I had the very, very good fortune to have the wonderful Lola Valentine & Lorelei up to stay for a weekend :-)  They were fabulous company and added no end of glamour to my otherwise dowdy existence ;-)  A few samples are below! :-) [gallery link="file"] http://www.monkeytwizzle.com/blog/?p=385 I had a lovely shoot with the amazingly talented Tracy Kane doing body paint on the equally wonderful Vendetta Vain.  Tracy's work was, as always, really fabulous :-)  And Vendetta Vain was just a joy to work with :-)  Yay for such things :-)  The bodypainting is going forward for ... http://www.monkeytwizzle.com/blog/?p=376
