Alex Cornes

Having driven and travelled over 1000 miles across England for work this week, I headed to Junction 11 Studios in Banbury on Saturday for a shoot with the sublime photographer Alex Howe. Technically adept and creative to no end, every shoot with Alex is a pleasure. I arrived at the studio an effieciently quick 1 hour and 10 minutes after I set off at 6:30am. Pleasantly early for our 8am call time. As with most of my shoots with Alex, details of what we were up to have to remain secret until public / press announcements are made. However suffice to say, the car was cool, the images were brilliant and the work was tiring but as always well worth it.

Assistants Tip: Buy a pair of decent grip / heatproof gloves. Hot lights are HOT. My pair of leather Arri Grip Gloves do the trick for keeping some of the heat out and are great for putting up and moving kit. The Arri gloves I have aren’t heat proof but they do the trick and I’d suggest getting something similar too.
