Logitech UE launch party, with quality talent and some cool tech on display too. No goody bag for Oldham alas.
Florence print in support of The 100 Project
Register your interest here in this online auction for a fantastic cause and a win non-too-shabby print of Florence, signed by me. Yes, me. I know!
Alex Clare for Island Records
Lovely shoot with Alex Clare, loads of killer shots with a cool guy. Doing great too, was no.1 in the Billboards that week. Worth a rummage on your internet. More here.
Toes and James Murphy/LCD Soundsystem in NME
Nice full page in NME ooooooh. Shot for The Fly about 3 years ago I think.
Toy, Fly

Toy in The Fly
New Fly mag with Toy, supercool.
Sport Magazine cover with Yaya Toure for PUMA
Pleased with this cover. Fear not, I still do music. Be cool.
Yaya Toure for Puma
Having a fun time with the wonderful Puma at the moment, shooting location portraits of their boot-sporting players. Done a few and there's potential for a strong series in this look, I reckon anyway. Decent layout in Sport Magazine too.
New tee for sale on The Quiet Life
I love thequietlife.com and buy loads of tees from there so was double stoked when they asked me to use a photo I shot (of the side of a van at Skol Beats in Sao Paolo a few years) for their A/W t-shirt range. I even had to scan my signature so they could put it on the sleeve, uh-huh. Have a click on that link there and judge for yourself but they sell loads of worthy stuff you might enjoy. Gawd bless em. If I ever see you wearing one I'll give you the money myself, as Les Dennis liked to say.
Nice new excursion with Puma
Great to be back shooting sports stars after all the music, and here's a big fat use of one of my shots in The Sun, no less.
It takes all sorts.
Really? Seriously?
Look at Example's crowd from a chopper!
First time ever up in a helicopter so it was great to circle the festival and lean out with the door off, standing on that rail below. I couldn't help humming this. The crowd looked fascinating but you should see a game of cricket at sunset from up there. Made me feel more patriotic than the jubilee.
Rita Ora at V
She's fun to shoot and gives it loads. You probably know this.
Crowd at V 2012
They could be described as 'quite up for it' only by someone prone to making huge understatements.
The Killers at V
5 snappers only for the sidestage viewpoint, so a tad tricky but scored enough winners to make the wait well worth it.
Tom Jones at V
What a pro, sidestepped a bottle of piss like he knew it was coming.
V Festival - back again
Wallop. Back for more in Chelmsford. Was looking after a team of 8 snappers and editors, plus shooting loads of live acts so had full days and beery nights but you know what? It was bloody good fun to shoot and the team worked terrifically hard and produced some lovely results. Proud to be there amongst them. More about me and my role here on PocketLint
Eugene McGuinness, looking slick in The Fly
Cool guy, looking cool. http://www.eugenemcguinness.net/
Spector for The Fly
Cool shot of Spector, man. You like that? Fred out front and the fellas falling in line behind. Great feature design in the mag from Russell Moorcroft, have a flick through and judge for yourself but where he gets the ideas from month after month I just don't know.
Animal Collective in MOJO, and toes
Regular features in this blog, those toes. Nice spread with Animal Collective, hiring vintage radios as props cos it works.
