ToyDrop is on a mission by James Whitaker

After months of hard work and careful planning, my sister-in-law launched her shop of wonderful toys earlier this week. 

Quoting her website verbatim, she says, 

“ToyDrop is on a mission and that mission is simple: to raise a generation of kind, happy, sociable kids who grow up appreciating their things and the world around them. It's why all our toys are chosen to transcend age, gender and trends to form a collection of heirloom pieces that create conscious consumers from the very start.”

Not a bad mission to have, I’m sure you’ll agree!

For all the discerning architects amongst you, this jigsaw puzzle looks great!  Perfect for a small child or an architects’ office secret Santa? I get the Bank of China building, Hong Kong, and the Gerkin, London, but after that I need a little help. Any suggestions?

When I Grow Up by James Whitaker

I want to be...

Did you ever daydream when you were little? Over the last couple of months I've been whittling away on these images for Getty, exploring the day dreaming of a toddler (our Jack). Working on them between commissions has meant progress has been quite slow and there are more images to produce for the series, but I thought I'd share the progress so far.

Earlier this month I visited my friends at Cloud and Horse to photograph their new photography studios and expanded set building workshop.

Jamie’s set building enterprise continually goes from strength to strength, with his team able to help execute all-sorts of weird and wonderful image making. The new workshop allows them to take on some giant builds and harvesting their experience at London’s other studios they have been able to add two 116m2 studios that perfectly answer almost every photographer’s needs.

If you are in need of a photo studio or set-building you can get in touch via their website - http://www.cloudandhorse.co.uk/
