Xmas in Bermuda (2009)

Bermuda may not follow the traditional 'White Christmas' feeling at this special time of year but there is definitely festive spirit all around!


This blog shows the work of chef, Oomed Sujeeun with his gingerbread village. Other images include the impressive Christmas light displays throughout the island.

New Equipment


In November, I purchased some new equipment to open up my lighting possibilities within the fashion photography world. My new toy is the safari 600 ringflash.


Here are some of the experiments within the studio environment using both the ring-flash and directional light which includes a self-portrait and fashion based work. Model: Adam Cutts
