THANK YOU AND GOODBYE
It is with a somewhat heavy heart that I have to make this announcement. Due to ongoing severe health issues, which I have struggled with for the past 3-4 years, I have decided to end my journey with WakentheDead Photography.
At best my ability to shoot and process images had become very erratic and not only was this affecting my work, but it was making me very ill also. Things have now come to a point where I can no longer keep up as my health issues are now serious and I have had to make the hard decision to walk away from something I love very dearly in order to concentrate on my health.
It has been an amazing experience. I met some amazing people, worked with fantastic models and found friends amongst the finest photographers in the land. I apologise right now for not being in touch for a few months but I have been in and out of hospital, having tests, being poked and proded and generally feeling ill and unable to even communicate with the world.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me, modelled for me, worked with me on projects, bought my artwork, and inspired me. You are the greatest of people and I will be eternally thankful.
Now I plan to slip into retirement quietly - all wakenthedead sites shall remain open for people to view what once was, but I will no longer be maintaining them or be contactable through them.
Thanks so much for the ride, it's been a blast.

I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore
Some place where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away — behind the moon — beyond the rain —
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high, There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then— oh, why can't I?

This is Teniah Twisted, Edinburgh based burlesque performer. Her recent set for club Teaze involved a Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz outfit. We had a great time recreating Dorothy, on a really dull, very soggy Scottish autumn day. Hopefully the magic of the photos show that we weren't in Scotland, we were somewhere over the rainbow (turn left at Glasgow, follow route for Over the Rainbow!) :)

Define what's within
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, Yeah
- Alicia Keys
This is Laura, she only has a few weeks left to go with her pregnancy. This is my personal fave from our shoot together at the studio.
The song was her wedding song and I thought it was really appropriate for how she'll be feeling right now.

This is my neice laura who is due to give birth in only a few weeks. Before baby arrives I decided to do a few quick shots in the studio with her. I love doing maternity photography - so much fun.

Some of you may remember Laura from my first ever photo - www.flickr.com/photos/wakenthedead/226005650/in/set-72157... taken 2 years ago on her wedding day!

This is a huge step away from what I normally do - but I have to say, I really really enjoyed this shoot and recently, as all my friends and friends of friends have been having babies - I've had requests to do shoots like this. And I love it.
No photoshop or fancy tricks, just a baby, some bright colours and me making funny noises and singing (can also be classed as a funny noise!) in order to keep the baby entertained.
Thanks to mummy, daddy and baby for a great day!
