Hugh Stewart shoots Susan Boyle, star of Britain's Got Talent, for Harper's Bazaar in her first major magazine interview.  The images have shown up everywhere causing quite the stir.  Check out the video to see Hugh in action!!!

It came as much of a shock to us as to everyone else when the call came in that Gourmet and Cookie were closing.  It was not because we had a number of photographers that had jobs lined up in the calendar - which they did, or that Marcus Nilsson had just returned from a week long shoot with Gourmet - which he did, but that we couldn't believe they had met the same fate as Domino.  If you want to lament with the rest of the world, visit http://thankyougourmet.com - There are a number of posts commenting on the beauty and style of the photography used, one of them was particularly interesting: "... The magazine turned food photography on its head.  There was a richness about their photos.  They worked with photographers whose work is very sensual, and that became their house style in a way.  I think there was a love and respect of pictures and you see that on their pages.  It felt very passionate.  You looked at the pictures and you were inspired to make something." - James Dunlinson, design director at Martha Stewart Living

David Sykes shot this "light breakfast" for a personal project - it has been featured and raved on a number of blogs over the past few months such as aphotoeditor,  swissmiss, sayyestohoboken, and core77 to name a few.  David has continued his food series with the latest "spaghetti and meatballs" shot with a barrage of gym equipment (including socks and towels for the cheese).

A little behind the scenes action shot of Lee Clower as he interacts and just hangs out with some of the kids on one of his recent shoots.  It makes it a little easier to understand just how he gets such an amazing response from the kids he shoots... they LOVE him!
