Not Dechamp’s Fountain

Ben | April 23, 2010 | 5:37 pm

It’s finally starting to get warm again in London so we finally get some well needed sunshine! These two shots are from a photoshoot done in Southampton and are a little different to what I normally do – but it was fun to shoot!

The model is Syntheticdrkness. This is also probably as ad-friendly as I get!

Enjoy the summer people!

The Darkside

Ben | April 21, 2010 | 10:17 pm

I love playing with images that are a little bit weird, a little on the dark side. It’s friggin easy to stick a a good looking girl or guy in front of a camera and take a photo. I’ll always prefer creating an image that engages people in more ways than just getting them to jerk off. Not that there’s anything wrong with that – just think about the artistic side of it while you do. ;-)

So here are a few photos from different shoots that are a little different.

The Water Closet

Ben | April 21, 2010 | 10:14 pm

This was one of my favourite photoshoots ever. It was something different, something a bit dark and dirty and yet very sexy at the same time. It helps that Dannie is good fun to work with and a very professional model.

This was a university bathroom and we just turned up, started shooting and left – a couple of builders turned up half way through the nude photoshoot and were so embarrassed they ran straight out again.

I’ve never quite understood the whole toliet fetish thing, I mean I get the fact that it’s seeing something private – more private than sex for some people, but it’s not something I’m that faffed about personally!

Upcoming Photoshoots: Want to Model?

Ben | April 19, 2010 | 7:13 am

I’m planning on setting aside some time in the next couple of months to get a host of new photoshoots sorted. As always, I’m looking for new faces. If you’re interested, contact me. If you have a very specific idea of what you’d like to do or if you want to leave it up to me, tell me your thoughts and we can take it from there.

I work in and around London and run all studio photoshoots in Central London. That said, if you know of an amazing location – I’m willing to travel. However in general, models should be able to travel to Central London. I work with a female photography assistant where required (my wife!) and am always happy for models to bring an escort to the shoot.

Note that the majority of my photoshoots do involve nudity, so please do not contact me unless you are over 18.

If you’re interested – let me know!

Polaroids #1

Ben | April 19, 2010 | 7:04 am

Everyone loves polaroids. I used to keep a polaroid camera with me at all times just in case. I really should buy another one – I love how strict it makes you in regards to what you will and wont photograph. The polaroids below are a mixture of nights out, photoshoots and just random things around the flat.

More polaroids coming later!

The Dummy

Ben | April 18, 2010 | 5:33 pm

I found this dummy/puppet at the side of a railroad near Southampton while doing a photoshoot. I couldn’t throw it away, but I’ve yet to fix it up, so it tends to randomly appear in different photoshoots over the years and currently sits in the loft of our flat in London. She/he doesn’t have a name yet and is bound to feature in future photoshoots, so any naming suggestions are welcome!

My Hometown

Ben | April 18, 2010 | 3:41 pm

To do something different this afternoon, here’s a set of photos from where I grew up. A shit hole known as ‘The Medway Towns’.It’s always strange to go back somewhere after so long. For me, memories are more related to songs than photos, so from 1996, Susan’s House by The Eels.

The shot on the left below features the remains of a car – I watched it rust away completely over 2 years – sadly, I’m missing the rest of the photos.

Fashion Photography: Portraits

Ben | April 16, 2010 | 12:42 am

Over the last few years, I’ve ended up doing a number of different fashion portraits. Below is a random selection. Some of these were taken just for fun, others for specific projects.

Models include: Hannah, Sophie, Agnes, Fern & Jen.

Dead Roses

Ben | April 15, 2010 | 9:47 pm

These were taken on a photoshoot near Canary Wharf in an empty flat. The model, FIona did really well as she was nude covered in these awful dead roses. I’d love to redo this shoot with a bottle of vodka, a Roxy Music album and a lot more roses to really bring out a darker more intimate side to the shoot. I suppose you could call this fashion photography- I’d buy the shoes from the top photo anyway!
