Am now bugging that I didn't shoot Beth Ditto first time round with The Gossip but here she is, in a Be Here Now outtake and man do I regret all the more missing the boat with her. She's smashed the crowd to bits, received so much love and was wonderful to everyone who had contact with her, me included. Thank you Beth.

I've just had a right result. Am backing up the shots from Lovebox, where we were side stage shooting for Be Here Now. Jameela Jamil was hosting and very obligingly stepped up to the plate to 'test my lights'. She's ace. Then The Doggfather, the legend, Snoop Dogg did the same, before and after his killer show. I'm buzzing. This project still excites me every time, and getting the calibre of Snoop on board will do wonders I bloody hope. Apologies for not releasing the image yet but we're holding loads back for the launch. It'll be worth it I swear.

Enormous score tonizzle.

The future king of British cycling. Cool guy and huge talent, not to mention his muscles upon muscles. Shot for the wonderful Rollapaluza which is really good fun, if you enjoy short bursts of energy with an hour of nausea to follow.

Beautiful looking and sounding London based fun from Big Deal. Could be worse.

Lots of shoots this day but a lunchtime pie, pint and portrait at the Newman Arms was never going to be my worst day ever. Richard Hawley, what an artist. The whole deal here.

This guy! Very possibly the most I've ever enjoyed myself on a shoot. Keith Lemon arrives in character and it doesn't slip for a second, the same as when I shot Avid Merrion (his previous incarnation) a few years ago. Hilariously indiscreet, gloriously up for anything, he nailed the shots in about 3 minutes and the rest were just for fun. See it on pack in Tesco's. Shot in the lovely Studio Private in Shoreditch.

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.
