Many thanks to all the wonderful parents and attendees of the private view at the Big Beach Cafe on Sunday evening. It went amazingly well and I finally got to meet the wonderful parents of my gorgeous subjects! 

Thank you also to the fabulous staff and management of the Big Beach Cafe- you guys are absolute legends and I couldn't have asked to a better start to my exhibition.

I am very pleased to announce that my portrait of 'Rueben' received an Honorable Mention in the 13th Annual Lucie Awards, presented at Carnegie Hall New York 27th October 2015. I entered his photograph i to the People/Children section of the competition that is hailed as the Oscar night of the Photography Industry.

This is the first year I have entered this competition and the photograph of Rueben was one taken from his school portrait gallery. It wasn't taken with the possibility of entering competitions in mind so I am very pleased with this positive feedback. Many thanks to Rueben's parents for allowing me too use this image in the competition, it is very much appreciated.
