Tribes are there too

Bless their ruff n'tumble ways. They had just won an award AND it was Friday afternoon so chances were good that they'd pretty up for a shoot. And they were, a bit too much at times. There were many other shots but the actual, usable, appropriate frames where everyone was doing something co-ordinated, focussed and suitable were few. But that's fine. Tribes, if you didn't already know.

Django Django for Fly (x6)

Probably bad to have a favourite but they were mine. Great fun at Shoreditch Studios with this bunch, happy to get behind a simple idea and make it work in their way. Tommy (bottom left) is one of those guys that makes me laugh whether he means to o…

John McCririck, the old fashioned way...

Wonderfully fun studio shoot with John McCririck. Obviously he's a great character but also a proper pro - shooting stills is a very speedy process when compared with TV work, so I relied on Tom Andrew's lighting skills to ensure a slick process the…

Wonderfully fun studio shoot with John McCririck. Obviously he's a great character but also a proper pro - shooting stills is a very speedy process when compared with TV work, so I relied on Tom Andrew's lighting skills to ensure a slick process then got John in to do his thing in about 4 minutes and 30 frames. He made it very easy, both before the makeover and after... More info here, race fans: http://www.lovetheraces.com/

Howler for The Fly, January 2012

Man I love shooting Americans. Mostly because they often know how to add a sprinkling of professionalism and 'look' to a shoot, not that the others didn't, Howler... just... did? They sound great too. Destined for good things I bloody hope. Lis…

Man I love shooting Americans. Mostly because they often know how to add a sprinkling of professionalism and 'look' to a shoot, not that the others didn't, Howler... just... did? They sound great too. Destined for good things I bloody hope. Listen you.

Thank you 2011

So it's been quite a year. Loads of memorable stuff and some whoppers at the end of the year too - just back from a great shoot in Jamaica and we're also doing 6 covers for The Fly's January issue (shooting that has been quite a challenge I assure y…

So it's been quite a year. Loads of memorable stuff and some whoppers at the end of the year too - just back from a great shoot in Jamaica and we're also doing 6 covers for The Fly's January issue (shooting that has been quite a challenge I assure you). Can't release any of this yet though so here's Jackson Browne for Mojo, from July this year, which though very low key was just a wonderfully pure moment with a name I've loved since I was a kid - big thanks to Tom Bunning there for his lightsmanship. Thanks to all of you for viewing my site this year - and of course your invaluable feedback which spurs me on no end. The very best of love and luck to you in 2012, cheers all.

 

PSY in Frankfurt for MTV EMA

 Proper madness at EMAs in Frankfurt. Am the official MTV snapper for the brand team so I shoot red carpet, the show, the sponsor activity, huge afterparty, all sorts. It's quite hectic. But where else would I be that weekend? The Caribbean maybe bu…

 

Proper madness at EMAs in Frankfurt. Am the official MTV snapper for the brand team so I shoot red carpet, the show, the sponsor activity, huge afterparty, all sorts. It's quite hectic. But where else would I be that weekend? The Caribbean maybe but that's it.

The Antlers are #1

The Fly's Album of the Year issue is out and The Antlers win. How refreshing is that? I've had a great year with the best, most heartfelt, least ego-driven title I've ever worked with. I love them.

Shit yeah

 Back to the MTV EMA this weekend, I'm delighted to say. Belfast plays host and my shots are being used in the wonderfully glossy magazine published for the event - remember all the trannies from a few weeks ago? They look ace in print and I'm well …

 

Back to the MTV EMA this weekend, I'm delighted to say. Belfast plays host and my shots are being used in the wonderfully glossy magazine published for the event - remember all the trannies from a few weeks ago? They look ace in print and I'm well chuffed. Will get some scans and post them, honest. Well chuffed.
