  • Dry The River in March Fly

    01 March 2012

    What's up with me + contents pages? I dunno. It's been a good week for contents pages. Stop saying contents pages. Right - a shoot on a Hackney rooftop with the currently soaring Dry The River. Loads of powerful flash in their faces to combat a very bright sun. Cool guys and a great sound. They hate being called the next Coldplay so I won't do that. DRY THE RIVER.

  • March 2011 Fly with Friends

    01 March 2012

    Had a great time with this, shot at MKII Studios with Friends - who you could describe as 'up for it'. A wall, a rope, why not? Online issue of the mag here, if you fancy it. Or just listen to this. I love this.

  • Florence portrait from Mojo lead feature

    28 February 2012

    Nice one Mojo. Proper feature with Florence and the most perfect page layout - any snapper would surely agree...

  • King of the contents page, that's me

    28 February 2012

    Lovely contents page for Florence featuring in Mojo. Feels very nice to have a big splash in a great title like Mojo.

  • The Ministry of Stories: A good place to go for a laugh

    27 February 2012

    Dave Eggers started it in the US, Nick Hornby embraced the idea here and the Ministry of Stories is the physical embodiment of a wonderful idea that has a monster supply shop out front and out back - a classroom for writing workshops for the kids of Hoxton (who aren't the trendies you might imagine). I did their team portraits the other day, solely because I think they're fantastic and I love what they do. They need help and involvement so if you have a skill, maybe they can use it. Why not try, you could have a laugh with Dee like I did.

  • 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.
