Today's shoot at Tower 42 in London was a bit of a tough one as I had to try to make a large open plan empty office look "in use" but I only had a few pieces of furniture to play with and one model. I think after a lot of work we got the shots needed so it's just a case of post processing all the RAW files and the job should be fine. The actual building is really impressive and the views from the 24th floor were stunning - I could even see the mighty Emirates stadium!.

My trusty assistant and model for today was my friend Kirsty. She is a really helpful person to have around and not only helps with the technical parts of the shoot and appears in some of the pictures but she also actually gets me to places on one piece!. I nearly always lose my travel card when we work in London and she usually looks after it for me now (although today I managed to look after it all by myself). Kirsty also saves me from getting the wrong tube which I've been known to do which is a real time saver!. Kirsty when I'm a millionaire photographer I promise to take you on full time!!!.

I'm working in the studio tomorrow photographing another big 6ft x 4ft solar panel which are a challenge to capture because they are very reflective and generally very large. Then I'm going to shoot some still life pictures for Arcangel (the European agency I sometimes work with) of some rusty padlocks etc for possible use on paperback crime book covers.

On Wednesday I'm working for Beds CC at Leighton Buzzard station photographing an initiative they are putting in place to encourage commuters to cycle, walk or get a bus instead of driving to the station.

I'm back in London on Thursday for a client's party - I've been invited along as a guest which will be great fun.

I've attached one of the photographs from last weeks shoot at Saxon Court in Milton Keynes which shows the super new car park lighting in use. I love the deep blue dusk sky!.
