Here is a 3 page interview with myself and Andy McCluskey of OMD, regarding the Leeds Gallery Exhibition.  The full interview can be seen on my 'Press' page.  Photography of Andy McCluskey by O-Ten Photography.

Calendar TV are interviewing myself with Kitty tomorrow in Leeds.

Here is a link to O-Ten's Gallery on Leica's Website.  From using my Leica M2.8 camera it has inspired me to be even more creative, adding more of a conceptual approach to my work.  

I understand now why Helmut Newton said "I love my Leica"  It has freed me up from the restraints of carrying around huge SLRs and huge lenses, which can be very intimidating to your clients and subjects, especially with street photography.
Leica is not just about street photography, however, it has a strong history of war correspondence and has shot many iconic film stars in history.  Marilyn Monroe being one of the prime examples.

Leica has a depth and a soul with a filmic quality that i have never come across before.  I believe Leica have a unique way of drawing you into the picture thus giving you an empathy to the situation photographed or the story being told.

Nikon and Canon capture photos, Leica capture moments.  

Also an astounding camera for fashion.  While many would automatically grab for a medium format, which let's face it, most would have to re-mortgage their home for, the Leica still delivers adding that unique look that is so synonymous with the brand.  

In comparison to Canon and Nikon, who make thousands of their products in one week on a production line, this adds up to the same amount of cameras hand built in an entire year by Leica!  Enough said :)

Please take a look at O-Ten's Gallery on Leica's website.

New photos uploaded today of the female solo electro pop songwriter She's Got Claws.  I must say that these are some of my favourites of Micci Lou as they represent her personality.  This shoot was very spontaneous and she just went with the flow and the shot below was completely unexpected.  It reminds me of Man Ray , who i admire, and how he used to shoot his muse, so this was an extra treat for me as a photographer.  Please check them out in my 'Portfolio' page.  The one below as a taster of what is yet to come from Micci Lou.  

Below are 2 photos taken from the latest shoot of the electro pop solo artist She's Got Claws.
