He shot his own LP sleeve beautifully (have a peep) and is also the nicest chap one could spend a leasurely Friday afternoon shooting. Warp Records - all day please.
She's brilliant and her work catches your eye quicker than a fish hook. I wish I worked in her studio, it's like a cool craft club.

View some of the shots that didn't make it to print in the new gallery on The Fly's websitehere. As though you have nothing else in your life - just these vast gulfs of time to dedicate to my pictures, right?

Always exciting shoots when out with the Virgin Limo Bikers. Made it back to Hackney in a new world record too. This one shot just by London Zoo on a beautiful London day, Tom Andrew on the lights and a load of laughs made it the perfect end to a hectic week. All this content for their new site, coming soon here.

Now THAT is IT. Sorry - no more Vaccines now. Uh uh. (Thanks to Tom B for spotting this).
Vaccines in Q
I will stop going on about The Vaccines any day now, I assure you. Honest, I will. Have shot features with Cage The Elephant, Group Love, Noah and The Whale, The Naked and Famous and this bunch too so do pick one up in your local sweat pit should you see one. Thanks. Click me to see it on screen instead!
Vaccines The Fly March BOOM!
Man, he's class. Beautiful music. More here. I'm so lucky that the people I shoot for have this impeccable taste that leads me to folk like Jamie. I thank you for your ears.
Jamie Woon in Clapton, East London
Her Long Player out today: Wounded Rhymes. Listen (and maybe even buy), she's bloody ace and GREAT to shoot.

It must be true. The Guardian said.
The Fly is #1
Made it! My first commission for Mojo Magazine is in print, I'm very proud to say. Such a huge title in music. The show at Heaven (everything music happens there at the moment it seems) wasn't without incident to say the least (access issues and beaten upon microwaves) but none of that matters now because it's here and it looks ace.

They'll definitely look like they've done a gig alright.
Les Savy Fav for Be Here Now
I'm on board very late in the day here. These 5 New Yorkers have been playing for 15+ years and I shoot them now. Shame. They are astonishing and suprisingly groovy. More shame.

You know they're brilliant but here's a link to more about them anyway.
Justin, The Vaccines, Shoreditch House rooftop on a cold, foggy day. Perfect.
Their dope is shit, yo. Or vice versa.
Vaccines for The Fly
Shot this 5 piece a year ago and great to see them selling out Heaven. Supercool guys and a well produced sound. Well worthy of a big fat sit down and listen, try here.
Chapel Club: Before
A sneaky peek at a backstage shoot with MCR - an astonishing live act and so perfect for our project. Their production team as well were incredible, so slick. We love that.
My Chemical Romance for Be Here Now
The MOST luxurious way to get anywhere quickly is with Virgin Limo Bikes. FACT. You sit in comfort whilst a courier whisks you across town in no time at all. Clothing provided (except fresh undercrackers). More info here.
Virgin Limo Bikes' Damien.
Count 'em - Jonathan from The Drums, Katy B, Miss Dynamite, Alex Greenwald, Kyle from The View and more. Boy George had split alas. Mark Ronson - popular guy, great show.
Mark Ronson + guests for War Child at Brits after party
War Child's after party. Cool as a cucumber of course and his crew told me he's a proper lovely bloke, and they never lie (about stuff like that).

Hosing the f1.2 once more. I just will not leave it.
