I’ve been out shooting in Soho today – and I must say, it’s a great location. We didn’t even venture far either side of the Charing Cross Road – just an alleyway either side – but the nooks and crannies you can come across are great.

Even just the walls are full of interesting bits and pieces – broken lights, rusted pipes, boarded-up windows and painted signs. Light filters down these narrow streets really well, and where you have bits of building built over the top of them, the tunnels let you play around with sillhouettes really nicely.

I know, another one of Liberty, but then she is both my girlfriend and favourite model. She’s also kind enough to put up with a) my photography habit, which mainly involves spending time snapping when I should be snuggling, and b) my internet habit, which is probably worse since it doesn’t usually involve me looking at her.

There’s something in her eyes that just shows pure beauty, some quality of the blue of her iris. It’s mesmerising. I love it. I could photograph it until the cows came home and not get bored. Once we’ve got Christmas and New Year out of the way I’ll take her out for a proper shoot somewhere around London. (No, of course I’ve not told her yet.) Suggestions for a location welcome in the comments below.

In other news, I’m off to Soho on Saturday for a shoot with a model I met at the UCL Union fashion society’s pre-show party. A pic or two will be up next week.
