Tiger

A couple of photographs from a recent collaboration with the wonderful Alexandros Vasmoulakis.  

I heard through the grapevine Alexandros was currently in the UK and not one for missing out on opportunities I got in touch with him to say 'hey' ...a few days later we both made plans to be free, named a time and place then ventured out to the streets in search of bits and pieces to create a ''masterpiece'' in extension to his existing 'Installation' project.  After rummaging through a few bins this was the result, nick named 'Tiger' this ones just for fun and abit of an experiment. Watch this space for more creations with Mr Vasmoulakis...

A day with Daughter.

A few photographs from a recent promo shoot with 'Daughter' aka Elena Tonra, my trusty assistant and I met the band Elena, Igor and Remi on a beautiful Spring morning in North London under instruction to take some 'nice photos' to coincide with the recent announcement of their signing to record label 4AD. 

It was a really fun and chilled shoot, full of little challenges to work around the bright sunlight nevertheless a real pleasure to photograph...we managed to shoot many frames in many places and even found enough time for alittle bbq and a few drinks at the pub afterwards. good times.

the band will be touring the UK and Europe this summer catch them if you can !

Olly aged 12.

This post welcomes an image of my little step Brother Olly. Whenever I return home to Shropshire I always take my camera to snap interesting things I see and also to try and take a few opportune photos of Olly, this picture was taken near the top of Cardingmill valley near Church Stretton. When I take Olly's picture at the time it's just for fun although, I have begun to archive the photographs as a record of him growing up and evolving from a child, to a boy and soon scarily to a young man. It is a magical thing to try and capture... I hope to make it in to a portrait series when I have enough shots.

Amy's room.

A portrait of Dave. my housemate.

I took this photograph one morning when we collectively had to tidy and clean our house from top to bottom upon the arrival of many many people visiting our house that day to view a room we had up for rent at the time.  Dave for some reason disappeared in to the garden for some time and started pulling out weeds amongst other things... Whilst I was buzzing around indoors I kept peering out the window observing what he was doing,  I thought that was a peculiar thing to do and an interesting way to react to the situation. 

I asked him to stop what he was doing for a minute and if I could take his picture. I think his expression sums how we all felt that day...

Susanna

Portrait of Susanna. my friend, who recently finished an internship at the luxury fashion boutique Browns,

She is amongst the 2.68 million currently unemployed in the UK and searching for a job. 

This image was taken early one morning after a night out, she had lost her phone and wasn't feeling great...although, the sunlight was beautiful and not to be missed so I asked her if I could take her picture to capture her mood. 

What I like most about this picture is the white bleached light coming in through the window spilling onto her blond hair and white t shirt. 

When I was taking photos Susanna found this note folded up in her pocket, the note is a list of designer items she was responsible to gather the previous day for the Stylist. I took a picture of it to compliment the portrait.

Rob and Robin

the past few weeks I've been experimenting with daylight and different ways to work with it within portraiture, I've been exploring London with the aim of finding some subjects to shoot and generally just seeing what happens. 

Here's a few images from a recent wonder. These were shot with my digital camera, I shot some frames on film too and will hopefully get them processed soon* It was fun meeting strangers and a challenge to deal with the unpredictable nature of some...Rob and Robin were sound, I saw them playing football on the fields and waited until they were finished to ask if I could take their picture, once i'd done a few kick-ups to show them I could play football they said yes. I just had my camera with me and nothing else only daylight as my light source, the sun was fading fast and so I asked them both separately to step into the sunlight, I really like the clear blue sky and the way the warm sharp light is hitting their faces. Looking forward to seeing what I find next...

Jane and MJ.

A few photographs from a surf trip to the coast of Devon. The top image is a portrait of my Best Friend, Jane with her dog MJ. I really like the way the dropping sunlight and reflection of the water has highlighted her figure on the beach which prompted me to ask if I could take her portrait.

MJ wasn't allowed to run on the beach, we had to conceal her under a jumper so the beach patrol couldn't see her! 

I shot a few more rolls from this trip and from a more recent surf trip too so hopefully I get them developed over the next few weeks and I'll post some more when I have them.

Finland

A few photos from a recent runaway getaway to the gorgeous Finland... we were only there for a few days yet I couldn't help but get my camera out and shoot a few rolls through it.  The landscape was surprisingly flat and slightly barren at times, although continuous lakes and technicolor forests surrounded us wherever we turned...The colours of the trees were absolutely beautiful and the sky was crystal clear. I wish I could get lost more often...

thanks guys for an awesome trip.
