MH Creative publishes two annual online magazines, one dedicated to golf and one dedicated to working with professional and aspiring models, more below.
THIS IS GOLF (launching 2026)
6 years after the final edition of St Andrews Magazine was published online, The Magazine from SHANK Media is to return, with a new name, new format and will be the fulfilment of the original vision from 2012.
Following the announcement that the magazine from SHANK Media was to return back in November 2024, I am now able to confirm some exciting details about THIS IS GOLF and the launch edition:
THIS IS GOLF will be released in September 2026 as a digital download on Magcloud and will be priced at £1.99
THIS IS GOLF will be limited to 72 pages
Content of THIS IS GOLF includes:
THE PEOPLE OF GOLF - Major feature showcasing six graduates of Myerscough College, sharing their journeys to a career in golf.
GOLF CITY - Edinburgh: A tour of Scotland's capital from golf course to golf course with Scottish model and keen golfer, Kyle Moran
Cupar Golf Club: A look at the world's oldest 9-hole golf club
Major interview with a to be confirmed golfer
Cover feature - Arnold Palmer, King of the Swinging 60's

EXQUISITE by Matt Hooper Photography
(Pilot edition 2023, launching 2026)
EXQUISITE by Matt Hooper Photography is an annual magazine which celebrates the beauty of the human being through unique storytelling via Fashion, Boudoir and Glamour photography.
The magazine features unique storytelling through photography at locations across the UK including Wiltshire, London, St Andrews, Dundee and across Scotland.
My vision for EXQUISITE is to become a must-feature for all models, and to make it something which they aspire to feature in, and produce a publication which many people across the world feel they must purchase.
This first edition has been nearly 9 months in the making, and that is why it will be an annual magazine, aspiring to be an alternative to the likes of Sports Illustrated's highly successful Swimsuit edition, but also inspired by the likes of Playboy, Pirelli Calendar, Penthouse and PSM. I have shot with several models since December 2022, and the magazine includes the best of those shoots, along with a few of my best shoots from 2020-2022.
From 2026 I hope for there to be a casting system in place, where models can apply for particular castings, with each year's magazine limited to 10 shoots.
Content for 2023 included shoots and creative stories with:
Deadly Nightshade
Sophie Marie
Jasmine High
Connor Elder
Era Dubey
Harvey Macdonald
Kyle Moran
Lizzy Holden
Isla Roy
