It was a pleasure meeting one of the stars of BBC show The Apprentice, Helen Milligan who narrowly missed out in the final lat year.
Helen has recently had a baby with her partner Christopher and Hello sent me to photograph them at their home, they are a lovely family and it was great fun, and
little Elsie Rae was impeccably behaved for a five week old baby :-)
You can read the interview in this weeks Hello and I shall be posting a few more photos from the shoot soon, so check back here in a week or so to see more.

One of the saddest stories I have covered since I have been back in Manchester, the slaying of two policewomen Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone by Dale Cregan.
A somber afternoon in Manchester for the subsequent funerals of the policewomen.

A shoot for the Daily Telegraph of actor,presenter and author Tony Robinson.
Tony has just published a series of childrens books that on the subject of Roamn and Egyptian history.
As would be expected, he was very professional to work with and with me being a fan of Blackadder and Tony's history presenting shows, it was a thrill to meet him.
Here is ane excerpt from the interview ,you can read the rest here and some of the shots from the today are below.
“Politicians,” he says, “have been downplaying the importance of history as a subject in our schools but, if they had bothered to have a better grasp of history themselves, they might have avoided costly wars. Instead they act like children. The only time that they think matters is their own.”
Since the actor, author and presenter of popular TV shows such as the long-running archaeological investigation, Time Team, spent four years on Labour’s National Executive Committee in the early 2000s when Britain was at war in Iraq, his remarks would appear to be directed towards Tony Blair.
“I’m not naming names,” he replies with that twinkly, wide-eyed smile that has been his trademark since his made his name playing the simple dogsbody, Baldrick, in Blackadder in the 1980s, “but it is salutary to consider historical prime ministers such as Gladstone, Disraeli, Palmerston, Lloyd-George and Churchill. They all had a real, visceral sense of history and so saw their actions as part of something that wasn’t only in the past. It is a dangerous fallacy for politicians to convince themselves to believe that what they do doesn’t have a historical context.”
