Info Courtesy Wikipedia This photo was taken in the very very early days of my Celebrity Photography career. Still had the L Plates on  in celebrity photography experience terms.  Been doing it about seven months, I think it took about nine months before the L plates were officially torn up.

Featured Star: Cara Delevingne She didn’t win an award but the fashion model  Cara Delevingne billed as the new Kate Moss, who is always grabbing the headlines did it for me on the arrivals at the event and grabs the headline photo for Part 2.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley  Glamour Women of the Year Awards  were held in Berkeley Sq in Mayfair in Central London and what a night. Decided on an unusual angle for this years feature looking at the highlights but red dresses only? Don’t think anybody else has done this and they probably don’t have these shots either.  The thing is I was actually there, the papers and fashion bloggers were not hence I was in no rush to get this out by 10pm last night like the rest of the media. There are some unique shots here! FULL SIZE: Rosie Huntington Whiteley. Women in Red. Glamour Women of the Year Awards, London 4 in my opinion that stood out on the night because of the red dress factor were naturally Kate Hudson bringing that Hollywood Wow Factor, all of Little Mix, Fearne Cotton and last but certainly not least Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. There’s something about a woman in a red dress, songs have been written about it, it takes guts and confidence to pull it off, but when it’s don...

Taylor Swift Ultra Close National TV Awards, London INTRO Not everything goes to plan when you are a Celebrity Photographer. A multitude of things can go wrong when taking celebrity photos including the following 1. people blocking the shot 2. foreign objects suddenly appear in the frame such as hands, phones, other photogs cameras 3. adverse weather conditions including strong wind, hail, snow and torrential rain 4. technical problems with the camera or bad exposure or focus and flat batteries 5. celebrity not playing ball and not interested in being photographed 6. celebrity wardrobe malfunctions...seems to be more the women than the men I could go on here but you get the idea? The list is endless. You just don't realise what it takes to get shots of these stars ..............sometimes it's an absolute nightmare. BEHIND THE SCENES This Taylor Swift photo was taken from the manic fan pen at the National TV Awards. She came over and what I call Ultra Close Up ....I call it with...

Ultra Close Up of Tamara Ecclestone eyes down but still looking good! The My Beautiful Ball Katie Piper Foundation event was held last night at the Landmark Hotel in Marylebone Central London. Not a film premiere or awards event but a charity bash designed to raise money for a worthy cause. Guests included Barbara Windsor, Nick Knowles, Danielle O Hara, Alex Jones, Caroline Flack, Dionne Bromfield, Claire Sweeney, Louie Spence, Nick Knowles, Brooke Kinsella, Little Boots, Sarah Harding and more. Gone with Tamara Ecclestone for the main photo. Daughter of Bernie Ecclestone the Formula 1 Supremo and Founder of Formula 1 in 1987. A hectic event to photograph as the arrivals were at the hotel at the same time as hotel guests arriving and the event is directly opposite Marylebone station and the timing was the same as the rush hour. Throw in some manic I don’t give a damn Paparazzi, Press, confused tourists and autograph hunters and it all adds up to a fun evening. All in a days work? Archi...
