Latest Model Photo Shoot in Ghetto Setting

I have just done a cool shoot with an upcoming model / actress in a Ghetto setting in London. The location I had in mind would give good contrast between the well dressed model and the urban / graffiti backgrounds.

However just after we started shooting, a guy came up and warned me not to have this kind of camera equipment here as the place is pretty dangerous. He went on to say that his friend was beaten up in daylight a few days before and robbed of his phone and cash...... There were also stories of someone getting stabbed in the area recently.... a great location for the setting, but I doubt I will be using it again....

You can view the photos from the shoot here :-

Our Chimps Website - is LIVE (ourchimps.com)

The www.ourchimps.com website is up and running. The website is to show project info about the chimpanzee project running in Western Uganda where I have been working and is to help gain volunteers and possible funding.

They are always looking for volunteers and even small donations will help conserve the chimpanzees, their habitat and also benefit the local communities.

The website is also fully built in drupal with a full content management system!

Check it our for photos of the real Ugandan lifestyle, Chimpanzee tracking and other cool bits and pieces...
