  • Ed Sheeran for Be Here Now - we're back on the road

    21 February 2012

    Here's me at work backstage at War Child's big gig at Shepherd's Bush Empire this week. I know a few of you are new visitors so if you don't know what the heck Be Here Now is, well, fair enough. It's a project I'm working on shooting loads and loads of interesting, sweaty, fun, nervous, exhilarating artists the immediate second before and the very second after they perform on stage. It's bloody brilliant and we've some massive great whoppers up our sleeves (for now). So do stay tuned, follow us on Twitter www.twitter.com/beherenow and FB and all that good stuff. Thanks.

  • Second look for Tom Szirtes aka Shur-i-kan

    20 February 2012

    So me and Tom worked up a few different feels, as he needed to refresh his public profile and press shots. What better way then to confuse matters by having the DJ and producer weirdly gripping onto some balloons to illustrate his partying credentials, in his wedding suit, standing over you in the rain. Listen to his music, it'll all make sense; The Dark Energy Radio Show.

  • Shur-i-kan at Tom Towers for portrait session

    20 February 2012

    Great to see Shur-i-kan aka Tom Szirtes before my lens once more. Such a handsome chap and always makes for a worthy frame. He's been a talented purveyor of quality house since I don't know when, catch his podcast if you enjoy deepness.

  • PABH galleries on the-fly.co.uk

    20 February 2012

    The tireless wheel of unrelenting self-promotion continues to somehow trundle forward, dragging behind it my laboured efforts and demonstrating to you, dear viewer, that I still care enough about The Craft to alternately scrabble around on the floor then star jump into the air for your momentary attention. See here, some galleries of my work from the wonderfully free-briefed Fly magazine shoots I enjoy each month. I do love it all, am only messing. Look and click if you like, it's really up to you. (Sorry, I'm quite tired)

  • PiL in The Guardian

    18 February 2012

    Nice to see the fruit of my toil in the Guardian's A Week in Music, originally shot for Mojo and despite being quite concerned (fearful of a possibly less than up-for-it subject) about the shoot (forewarned is forearmed, unless your information turns out to be wrong), John Lydon was super obliging and performed a 20 minute jam for me to shoot. So relieved was I post-shoot, we hung about and laid on the grass and chatted. Not what I had imagined, I prefer to hightail out of there rather than linger, you know, it's more pro.

  • Bon Iver wins 2 Grammys! Bloody brilliant!

    13 February 2012

    He's just the loveliest bloke and you can't help but feel great when someone so gifted and just NICE gets recognised at the Grammys. I thought it was all a bit mainstream for what he does and I'm happy to say I was wrong. Justin is a photographer too and knew all about the Canon 85mm f1.2 I was hosing on our shoot, which was honestly a tad unsettling. Many congratulations sir (if you're reading this which I doubt very much).

  • Field Music in a caff in The Fly in February issue

    03 February 2012

    Tea was 60p. I got to shoot Field Music at bloody last after loving them for what feels like, at least like, months. Possibly longer. Nice chaps and very much at home in a North London caff. Cheers!

  • Chairlift in Feb Fly

    03 February 2012

    That is something special, you ain't wrong Fly Mag. Caroline is incredible to shoot and the kind of subject one wishes for constantly in life.

  • NOW THAT'S A FEATURE SPREAD THAT IS.

    03 February 2012

    Love that. Loads. Pulled Apart By Horses - smashing a crowd to fuck in a sweatpit, barn, field, enormodome near you very soon.

  • Speech feature shot

    03 February 2012

    Speech feature in The Fly. Nice tone, thanks to Ross Shields. He da man.
