The Rotherham - California Scale

Within the last year we’ve had the good fortune to visit both the Caribbean and the Maldives. I shot a small test swimwear fashion editorial in each location. I mean - you would wouldn’t you. Given the choice between filling your swimwear portfolio with a blue tinged model on a misty Formby beach or some Insta-pretty island nearer the equator it’s not a difficult decision to make. Nobody is going to panic about half a dozen extra swimsuits in the 23Kg allowance. The only advantage Formby offers is being able to take more kit and a crew to share the misery with you. When push comes to shove I’ll take my chances with golden sand and turquoise waters over somebody to hold my reflector.

There are a few things I really really need to do...

  1. Update my site...a years worth of great images to select from since I last had chance

  2. Blog more...editorials languishing on my hard drive and thoughts burning my brain

  3. Step away from the 70s...

Once in a blue moon I get to post my photography before anybody else. There's lots of reasons why this never usually happens. For commercial work it goes without saying that you wait for the images to be released, but for personal work it just slips out there. During the shoot the team will Instagram behind-the-scenes shots, previews or 'sneak peeks' get trailered onto Twitter and blogs, models want to use the images in their books for a 'last minute casting' and before you know it the shoot is old news, fragmented parts of the whole drifting around cyberspace in a digital fashion jigsaw.

RN, anyone pitching you a full AI campaign for less than the budget of a good photoshoot is lying to you, lying to themselves and lying to your customers. Unless lo-res six-toed models is a conscious brand choice, maybe give it another year yet. Not
