My friend Shaun has a new musical venture called Virals. I took some photos of him on a quest around London to taste the finest ale and eat the best smoked meats.

For the last few months I have been planning away on a short film for Kranky Records artist Felix for the track ‘The Blessing Part 1 & 2’ which is taken from there forthcoming album ‘Oh Holy Molar’. This last weekend saw myself and Photographer Owen Richards team up again to shoot the idea over the south coast in ‘varied & challenging’ weather conditions, I like to say a big thank you to Marissa Beck for her patience and warmth, Lucinda for enthusiasm for the cold solent tide and Mr and Mrs Telling for the temporary BnB service, below are some stills from the shoot, the film will be released near the tail end of April. 

I am very pleased to have a photograph in the new issue of Spin. A magazine I have always held in great photographic esteem. The magazine has undergone a beautiful redesign and most importantly smells great.

The shot is of The Men, live at Shacklewell Arms. 

In January I was commissioned by Warp Records to photograph their new signing Kwes. A record producer turned solo artist. Kwes’s location of choice was Billingsgate, the largest fish market in the UK. We met up (very) early on a cold January morning, the market opens at 5am and shuts just as I am normally getting up. It was a great opportunity to see inside one the east London’s most famous markets and experience the legendary banter of the traders!

The images are starting to make the rounds. Here are a couple from the shoot.

Jen Long, radio blabbermouth and all round good egg has started a new magazine called Zero Core. She kindly asked me to shoot Pulled Apart by Horses for the cover and included a feature on my photography alongside a little article written by Sian Rowe, who did a great job of cutting down my never-ending waffle.

You can pick up a hard copy in lots of places in London and Cardiff or read it online here.

I have started to do a bit of spring cleaning with my website. I have created a new tumblr blog where I will post the pictures that fall between the gaps. I have entitled it ‘the chronicle of everything in between’, a title I have been using for my collection of everyday snapshots. It doesn’t make much sense as its not chronological or but it has a nice ring to it! Follow the new blog here.

Loud and Quiet magazine asked me to photograph behind the scenes at The Maccabees headline show at the Brixton Academy. The full article can be seen in this months issue.

Some out takes from my shoot with Shabazz Palaces for Loud and Quiet magazine. Out now.

A few years ago my friends Mathy and Fran gave me the opportunity to shoot stills on their short film, Elsewhere. It was a great experience, they gave me the freedom and time to shoot whatever I wanted. The cast was made up of two young actors who have gone on to big things, first on the stage and now in television and film. Jessica Raine, is the lead in Call the Midwife, a new series on BBC1. Aneurin Barnard will be playing David Bailey in a one off drama on BBC Four in a few weeks. Coincidently Bailey received an honorary degree when I graduated from university.

Here are a couple of portraits of them from the set of Elsewhere
