Murmuration

I was trying to find a path down to a secluded beach back in September when I saw about thirty or forty starlings just looping around all over the place. I stood there for a few minutes and it was the most joyous thing to witness. I have no idea how amazing it would have been to see the below video in person. I'd imagine words wouldn't even come close.

Sir John Hegarty

I had the privilege of photographing Sir John Hegarty yesterday for Think Quarterly. It was an absolute joy listening to him talk about the future of advertising and he had some pretty radical ideas for the next generation of creatives.

The film has been processed so off to the darkroom to get some prints done as the deadline is very tight.

Geraint Thomas

Here's a recent commissioned portrait of Team SKY and Team GB pro cyclist Geraint Thomas. He was very busy that night yet he still took the time to walk to my hastily rigged portable studio, at the complete opposite end of the building to where he was. You can tell that the team SKY riders are media-trained as he was asking about why I was shooting on the plate camera and saying about quality and being used for things like billboards.

New stuff

Just had a great portrait shoot signed off so just getting film, lights, Polaroid etc. ready and then straight after that off to Japan and Iceland or Sweden for some shoots. When I get back, February will be spent updating agents books and the website and editing a couple of new films.

Right, where are my wooly socks and thermals...

The Ride Journal

So a few weeks back I was up at the Manchester velodrome shooting a leg of the Revolution track series. The article will be in the next issue of The Ride Journal and will be out around February of 2012. Here is a quick peek at one of the shots -

The Ride

Off up to Manchester to the National Cycling Centre this weekend to shoot a commission for The Ride. Just checking I have enough film and Polaroid and getting all the digital camera batteries charged up. Bit of a flying visit though which is a pity as I haven't been to Manchester for a couple of years now.

Black & white surf

After an eleven year career where I have solely shot colour I have recently been shooting some b&w images. This weekend the surf was super clean but very small so, as the sun was out, I decided to drag my waterproof housing out of my car and into the water. Here are a few from the session [the rest can be seen here] -

Finished POC commission

Just picked up the POC '11/12 brochure from the guys at The Church of London. It is beautifully designed, as is all of their stuff, and I have already circled quite a few of their t-shirts, as well as one or two of the skate and snow lids, for purchase. Here are a few shots of the covers [reversible front and back] as well as the spread I shot -
