The Route Masters: Running London's Roads

I shot the press/ publicity stills for this documentary series 'The Route Masters: Running London's Roads'  

It started last week and is on BBC 2 every Tuesday 9 - 10 pm for 6 weeks.  Check it out, it goes behind the scenes of London's transport network. 

Slideluck London V goes to Format!

.....and I will be going with them as my image series was selected!  

The selection was curated by Monica Allende at the Sunday Times Magazine and the event will coincide with Format Festival's closing weekend. 

If you can make it to the Chocolate Factory in Derby on Saturday 6th April please come along to say hi and see the slide presentations.   It is set to be a fantastic event and I'm very pleased to be part of it.

Hurts

A while ago I shot the band 'Hurts' for You Magazine.   

Since they have just released some new music I went back to look at the images I previously shot and below is a little edit.  

This was shot in West London, Shepherds Bush I think, it may look sunny but it was actually a very cold day and we were all freezing.

Contact Camera Press to see more and for any syndication enquires.

First Person Shoot for FT Weekend Magazine

I was recently commissioned by The Financial Times Weekend Magazine to shoot  portrait for the First Person Page.

Off I went down to Heathrow Airport to meet Gurkiran Singh Mann whose street has been overtaken by avid plane spotters.  

Here is how the image looked in the magazine.  It was published on Saturday.

Glastonbury 2000: A handmade book

This is my portrait of Glastonbury 2000.

Edition 1 of 1, it is a handmade book containing photographic prints and text interviews about sitter's thoughts and Glastonbury experiences.

The book was completed in 2005.

I had an amazing time at this Glastonbury, i met so many wonderful people and heard so many amazing stories.

Take a look at the book to find out about my experience......

This Dream Still Runs. My first ever handmade book

My very first book.

Inspired by making my Memories book into a video, I dug out my very first book project. There will be more to follow, I am going through the archives.

This Dream Still Runs was 1 in an edition of 2 and is more like an Artist's Proof. Edition 2 was a lot more polished/ tidier but sadly Edition 2 no longer exists so this is the only one remaining.

I made 'This Dream Still Runs' while still a student.
I had been away for the Summer and fallen madly and deeply in love whilst working in Italy. I was lost on my return and was yearning to be back there.

My Photography tutor (the renowned John Blakemore) called this book 'photo therapy'.

Another nice thing about this book is that is a concertina. You can't really see that in the video but it opens out into one long strip so all the photos become one long adjoined sequence or storyboard. I LOVE concertina books.....you can't get those from Blurb!

Memories

This is a personal photography book I made a while ago entitled 'Memories'.

My 'Untitled' Book

New Dog book......

Facing You opening night
