Issue 49 of Shred magazine is now available and features the images I created during a portrait sitting and short interview with US National Road Cycling Champion Tyler Hamilton when he was in the UK earlier this year with the Rock Racing team at the 2008 Tour of Britain. The article runs as the cover story and spans eight pages inside so pick up a copy to see the full feature.
Also featured in issue 49 of Shred Magazine are a few of my photographs from the 2008 Bontrager 24/12 mountain bike endurance event which was held over one very hot and dusty weekend at Newnham Park this summer: DPS image below features Shaggy of Team 69′er.

As mentioned in the previous post, I met up with the Rock Racing team at their overnight hotel in Bristol the night before stage three of the 2008 E.ON Tour of Britain for an interview with Tour de France stage winner and current American National Champion Tyler Hamilton (he actually won the US Champs just a week before coming to the UK for the ToB). The setting was a conference room that the hotel kindly let us use for the shoot which was quickly transformed into an on-location studio; I kept the lighting simple as we had Tyler for just half an hour between his post-race massage and dinner and I needed to get at least three different looks as well as an interview. My assistant interviewed Tyler while I concentrated on the portrait and we wrapped the whole thing up on time with some great words and images for the article; the full interview will appear in the next issue of Shred Magazine and I’m also in discussions with other publications so I’ll post more information in the future as things go to print. Many thanks to Rock Racing PR guy Sean Weide for arranging the shoot/interview with Tyler Hamilton and being such a huge help on location.
