Lovehearts

Sometimes when working with make-up artists we do some experimental work. We wanted something different while showing off the lipstick. The make up artist had some lovehearts and wanted to use these as props when shooting the lipstick. I like this image for a couple of reasons. First is the obvious in that it works with light points on the fingertips. Second is that behind the model is a mirror and I have got the lighting right so you would never guess there is a mirror there.

Caerphilly Castle

I went to Wales in August, visiting places in and close to the Brecon Beacons. This is the entrance to Caerphilly Castle, one of the largest castles in Europe. Its an interesting place , one of the towers is leaning over. I tend to prefer photographs of castles in black and white.
