Johnni J

I recently shot my good friend Johnni for the World of Wonder. He is a TV Producer at WOW and so much fun to work with.
Johnni wasn't actually that keen to get in front of my lens. Not because of my photography but he just hates having his photo taken. And we also weren't really sure what to do with him!
Here are some the shots, I was quite pleased with how it went in the end....

Matt Collings

I recently shot art critic Matt Collings at his home in North London. Here are my favourites:

Louie Spence out-takes

Here are the some of the shots I liked that weren't used in the Attitude article....
Also I shot Gok Wan for Attitude last week so watch this space to see those shots!

Louie Spence Tearsheets

Last month I shot Louie Spence at Pineapple Dance Studios for Attitude Magazine. The shoot was fun and I enjoyed my little trip to the Dance Studios, although i was surprised no-one noticed my hidden dancing skills and tried to snap me up for the next show....!!
Below are the tearsheets from the May issue of Attitude.

Sri Senpaga Vinayagar Hindu Temple @ Ceylon Road

I came across a beautiful Hindu Temple on Ceylon Road in Katong, Singapore. I loved the signs decorating the temple with little motto's on how to best live and appreciate life. Below are some shots:

Nikole Lowe.....

I re-edited my shots of Tattoo Artist Nikole Lowe and decided on a new favourite which wasn't selected in my earlier blog post. I like the energy, fun and confidence of this shot.....

Manchester Tattooist Louis Malloy

I recently shot award winning tattoo artist Louis Malloy at his studio in Middleton, Manchester.

Louis designed David Beckham's famous back tattoo depicting a bald, winged, angelic figure. Beckham calls the tattoo his 'guardian angel' and premiered it in 1999 after work finished in April that year.
Other celebrities tattooed by Lou include Spice Girls Mel C, Mel B, Victoria Beckham and Ronan Keating.

In 2007, Louis became part of Discovery Channel's documentary programme 'London Ink' featuring the daily happenings at his tattoo parlour.

It was a pleasure to meet and shoot Louis. I liked that he didn't want to necessarily be depicted in the stereotypical way tattoo artists are often depicted, holding a needle and covered in tattoos himself.

Below is my edit from the 30 minute shoot.....

More dogs....

Oooh-er missus.....

Check out this cheeky little fellow I shot recently.....do you think he's trying to tell us something?

SINGAPORE

I've been trying to figure out what interests me photographically about Singapore for some time now and I've realised a couple of things.

The ever changing skyline, skyscraper upon skyscraper, there is constant development here. Singapore is so small that everything is built upwards. Condo's are constructed but only have a short life before they are demolished so a new one can be put in it's place. The newness of Singapore's architecture was uninspiring for me until I started looking up at the looming buildings and examining the relationship they have with one another and the space around them.

The other amazing thing about Singapore is the actual sky and how quickly it changes from beautiful bright sun to thunderous monsoon. On one side the sky can be bright and the sun shining, yet if you look in the other direction, all you can see is grey cloud.

I took the below pictures whilst on the upper deck of a moving bus which was quite an interesting way of working for me as usually, when shooting architecture, I take my time to compose my shot. This was a lot more instinctive, with only 1 chance to Capture The Moment.

CRUFTS

I just retouched these little fellow shot at Crufts..... Shake it baby!

CRUFTS

This weekend I traveled to Crufts with my camera. Below is a sneak preview of as yet unretouched shots. I will be re-posting my favourites as and when I retouch them so keep coming back...
