I was a punter at Wireless (not typical Tom) at 2pm on Saturday to see the opening act (again, rather unusually), the incredible Janelle Monae. She's so unbelievably awesome. Sorry to repost but I shot Janelle for Be Here Now last December when she supported Vampire Weekend and man, it was such a stunning peformance - just when you think you've seen the lot, someone comes along and cleans your glasses for you, then slaps you for being a cynic. I hope she becomes the biggest thing in music, just for having such style, energy, cool, flair...

It's happening for Janelle (at last)

Love this. New Fly for July features The Horrors and their glorious return. Peruse it here. The shoot went wonderfully, great lighting from Vicky, rooftop location in Dalston, perfect weather for the tone I was seeking, you know, happy days. Hear Horrors here.

Witness my chubby self making photo party with Black Lips in this well crafted edit. I don't remember the bubbles but there they are. Why you'd watch this when there's so much other stuff out there (I've never seen Citizen Kane, know what I mean?) but you won't know that til too late probably. See you at the Oscars or Cannes, ahem.

Jody McIntyre was pulled out of his wheelchair by police on the tuition fees protest. Jody eloquently, intelligently and I think hilariously spoke out about it and when I saw it live onBBC Breakfast at the time I dropped my Weetabix when he spoke of 'imperialism' to Bill Turnbull ('let's leave politics aside for the moment' - WTF?) I love what he did and he's now presenting some short political documentaries - Bars for Change for Windfall Films for Channel 4. An honour to meet Jody today.

Well you can if you like. The answer will be cos they were bloody good fun to shoot and had more vitality, vim and vigour than I'll ever enjoy. Seek them at Sutton Superbowl's Monday Club.

A leisurely afternoon spent setting up and waiting for Dev. Shot in promotion of his 80s NYC-vibing project 'Blood Orange' on Domino, we chatted about Advantix cameras, Solange Knowles, Arctic Monkeys and all sorts. Check out his Tumblr for the tone of what's happening with Dev. Lovely, talented guy.

Welcome back The Kooks! Luke Kook sang beautifully and while it was good to see them again, it was even better to hear their new tunes and shoot them in this most intimate of settings - under a canopy in the courtyard at The Fly offices.

Reggae gallery uploaded

June 12, 2011

While I don't really like being retrospective, I just unearthed all my old reggae stuff and it does seem a shame for it to be sat on a hard drive and not online, so here you go. I had a brief stint of shooting every reggae artist I could in 2005-6, including 2 trips to JA, which was of course quite memorable for many reasons (some of which I'll tell you when I see you). Enjoy the gallery.

Enough with Black Lips already I know but June issue is a right royal spanker I assure you. Shots with Bon Iver, Tribes, The Antlers, Battles and these cover stars here. Feeling great about the mag and very proud to be involved, though regular readers of this blog (hello again) will probably know this.

Awesome Fly Mag for June

It could be argued I took the brief a tad too literally on this one, I know. However, for once it seemed to fit and Ernest's chillwave got the full backlit Elinchrom Octa treatment and deservedly so. Forthcoming in The Fly mag.

They're just a truly great band to shoot. Loads of ideas, up for direction, fun to be around, chuffin ace. More Black Lips please.

Extraordinary scenes at Ally Pally for the Swedish House Mafia show. A modern phenomenon - they're hugely popular, play the most banging house and feature huge live show production. Boom boom, ears ringing. The most up for it crowd I've seen in an age, especially for 2 a.m. on a Monday morning. As one might hope, they made for a strong before and after shot, of which more to come soon.

Good laughs backstage, shooting with a more reportage feel straight after the show. Pleased with the look and feel, plus we were pretty much locked in the dressing room alone waiting for them to finish their sell out gig at the lovely Bush Hall - which could only ever mean one thing. Sorry about the rider chaps.

New long player imminent from the very lovely Duotone, and a perfect day spent elsewhere for me for their press and LP art.

Then the sun came out and I captured Black Lips in the backstage artist compound, just like partying and hanging out, oh man it was so ace, me and my mates from the band, yeah. NOT REALLY, NOT AT ALL in fact. Lighting by Tom Andrew and retouch by Neil Pemberton. Thanks guys, loads. My favourite and the most obvious Black Lips vid here.

So. Iris Experience called and asked 'Fancy shooting human paintball with the world's best footballers kicking paint covered footballs at kids in white boilersuits for Adidas?' 'Um yeah ok' I replied in a nanosecond. It was messy. Van Persie, Kaka, Nani (and Tom Oldham) loved every second of it.

Human Paintball with the world's best footballers? OK...

Tribes, 4 blokes from Camden who look about as at home on the beach in Brighton as I do in Camden. Here's theirspace, so do give 'em a click. Light held kindly by Ben at The Fly, FYI.

Great to see the legendary fruity backdrop splashed across the London Evening Standard this week, with the very excellent Yuck nestling amongst it. A good couple of days for tearsheets.
