This exhibition currently at the HotShoe gallery, is an investigation into the fleeting moment; the profound way in which things appear and then quickly cease to be. Photography, both as an art form and a technological process, is tied to this concept in several unique and fundamental ways.

The exhibition seeks to investigate these ideas through a number of artist’s works, whilst also begging wider questions of contemporary culture with specific regard to technology, the immaterial, documentation, speed, inconsistency and the ‘throw-away’.

Here are a few images from one of the many 'Asos Marketplace' shoots I’ve been working on recently for Spring/Summer011. To introduce the project alittle bit, ASOS Marketplace is powered by a collective love of fashion. It's a destination for inspiration and discovery, fashion lovers sell directly to each other and individuals can recycle their wardrobes alongside specialist boutiques. Acting as the peoples runway and fashion community...

I'm enjoying the project so far and look forward to producing more images for it throughout this year. 

-these are just a few of my recent fav's the colours remind me that summer i s coming and to get my stripes out ! yum

surprises

.
this is Emily Grundon.
My eyes used to follow this young photographer a couple of years ago, I recall her being quite an inspiration to me at the time, through the vines of social means...then.one day, I bizarrely forgot her name and couldn’t find her or any of her photographs again?,
today out of the blue a friend randomly emailed me her name and website for me to look at...
what a nice surprise. She’s back in my life, 2 years later with a new body of refreshing photographic work, her coherent and consistent layout in the ‘singles’ section and throughout her site is engaging. – also the use of lines and circles integrated in to her photographs offers an alternative for the viewer which is appealing.
For me, this is a reassuring yet experimental photographic style and website.

I.like.it.

plus she shoots film. cosy

Tom

Here are a couple of recent photographs i have taken. Over the weekend I asked my friend Tom to come and take photos with me, he kindly said yes and let me take his portrait.I wanted to experiment with light and my aim was to try and use the natural light we had in several ways, of which i did although, i think i need some more practice to get it exactly how i'd like...for now these are a good point to work from for next time.!

*note to self, find some more friends to photograph.

Dreamer no10

this post welcomes the 10th Dreamer to my 'Dreamers' project, *clapclap* to refresh any memories the project is about photographing people asleep on the London Underground and other modes of public transport. to achieve these photographs the subjects are completely unaware I have taken there portrait, this involves patience, opportunity and understanding from those around me.
-Apologies for the lack of 'caption' over the last 10 weeks, the project is currently being "created" and all will soon be revealed on my website in the projects section...i have been shooting this project for around 6 months, it's a challenging project with the opportunity to photograph some wonderful expressions...more to come.

Angus and Julia Stone

a few nights ago I had the pleasure of spending the evening with Angus and Julia Stone at the Royal festival Hall (London), it was a special evening with beautiful music and lots of love. I took my camera and shot a few pictures, I was a bit too far away to get any real good ones here are a few i managed to get.

At one point i managed to sneak to the front of the stage for a song or two, I tried to hide behind someone sitting in the front row but before too long i was spotted and pulled away by my ears like a naughty school kid back to my seat...
I'd forgotten how fun shooting live music was!

thought it was worth a blog post...
