After being fired from “The Apprentice” Glenn found himself back at his day job, but only for a short time as he returned this week to the BBC with the rest of this years other fired apprentices and the four finalist to film “You’ve been hired”.

But I did managed to grab a quick half hour out of Glenn’s busy schedule for a quick photo shoot around Luton. We did get a few raised eyebrows as we rushed about the centre of Luton on a busy Lunchtime, Suited and booted Glenn in a very sharp suit and me in my old jeans and tee shirt. I wish we could have had a bit more time to find some different locations and shoot for longer, but some times you have to take what you can get.

Anyway many thanks to Glenn and here are a few of the best shoots from the shoot.

After looking at all the BBC Images of Glenn Ward, who is one of this years apprentice candidates I thought it was about time I releases some of my images of him. Glenn approached me several months ago about doing some pictures of him that he could send to the BBC for a program that was going to be on in spring 2011. It didn’t take long before Glenn told me that he was going to enter “The Apprentice”. I asked him what sort of images he wanted, he said “moody”. Lets hope we haven’t gone to far, we will have to wait to see how the BBC have portrayed him. The New season of “The Apprentice” starts on May the 10th don’t miss it

It’s the second week in April and I’m in Frankfurt, Germany covering “Musikmesse” Europe’s largest trade show for musical instruments, lighting, recording and sound reinforcement equipment. Frankfurt Messe makes The NEC in Birmingham look very small, I must have walked about 10 miles in 2 days going from hall to hall. One of the worst halls is the Drum hall, can you imagine the noise, with hundreds of drummers all playing out of time and a different pattern.

Here are just a few shots from the couple of days is was there.

Guitar Heaven

She beats Tony Blackburn any day.

One of those mad drummers

Just a stack of Orange crates.

Early in March I picked up a tweet from Kevin Mullins a great photographer I first meet a couple of  years ago on a photography course. The tweet said “Anybody interested in street photography in London?” , looks like fun I thought, never done I before, I’m up for it.

Unfortunately, a couple of days before the event Kevin had to pull out, this seemed to trigger a huge drop out of people, but as long as a couple of us turned up I was still up for it. In the end there was just the three of us, Kim and Jeanette from CocoonPhotography and me, which by a strange coincidence I had also meet on another photography course with Crash Taylor.

One the day I got to the meeting point at Nelson’s Column a bit early so I started taken pictures and started walking about this was my first mistake! 12 o’clock arrived and I walked back to Nelson’s Column, there I meet up with Kim & Jeanette, we decided to spend ½ an hour taking pictures around Trafalgar Square, this was my second mistake! I had trigger some sort of police alarm, I was taking picture of people in a public place over a period of time, with a BIG Camera, not that I stood out from the crowd of 200-300 people also taken pictures of people with big cameras. It was like a Canon & Nikon advert everybody seemed to have a DSLR, I think the difference was that I was behaving strangely, lying on the ground, standing on things, leaning up against things.

Policeman: What are you doing?

Me: Taken pictures.

Policeman: Why?

Me: I’m a photographer.

Policeman: You have been here a long time and some people noticed you at taken lots of picture.

Me: Yes, I’m a photographer.

Policeman: ooh, ok then.

The rest of the day went without incident, we all had a great day out and I can’t wait to do it again.

Here are a few images from the day.

I really enjoyed spending the day with Kim & Jeanette, check out CocoonBlog for their picture.
