The Walking Dead!

Last Saturday i rose from my pit nice and early and headed for Birmingham to attend an event in it's third incarnation "The Birmingham Zombie Walk".
An event organised by Jamie Chapman for people of all ages and walks of life to dress up as Zombies and The Undead for a fundraising day in aid of The Birmingham Childrens Hospital.

I arrived quite early for the event in its third year to see so many people turn out for such a good cause, Zombies seem to be popular nowadays with the influx of movies and coverage such as the comical "Shaun of The Dead" and the sublime "The Walking Dead" recently aired on Channel 5.

All in all a great time i had shooting many candids with my Sony and beercan len's and i think the event raised just under £1'900 for the Charity.

Enough of my rambling hope you enjoy the picture's.

Rosie Hardy Shootout

Setting off from the midlands for sunny Southend-on-Sea on an April saturday morning i was filled with both nerves and excitement at attending the first Rosie Hardy Shootout of the year.
There were 12-13 attendee's including Rosie's assistant and very able helper the gifted Alex Cameron, as we met up in a 50's/60's diner near the seafront to fuel up on food and milkshakes while discussing the day ahead.

We then made our way to the seafront for a day's shooting and emptied Rosie's car a 'pandora's box'  full to the brim of props onto the beach.
It was a gloriously sunny day with intermittent cloud cover which i found made shooting quite difficult for myself but think i got some decent images, and our models for the day Charli Howard and Chelsea Fitzpatrick worked so hard to enable this for us all.
i had a great day and would recommend one of Rosie's shootout's to any photography enthusiast from amateur to pro!.
I made some great friends on the day and hope to meet them all again one time or another for more photography fun.

Enough of my rambling here are some of my pictures from the day.
