Great show fellas.
Justin on stage at Reading
On stage with The Vaccines. Justin looking great.
Vaccines at Reading
Seconds before stage time with The Vaccines.
Vaccines Fly October boooom!
Wicked shoot at Reading Festival, great access both on stage and then dressing rooms after the show. This was grabbed in seconds post-gig, but we knew we had it. They smashed the show of course and it was really, really exciting to witness the chaps' nerves and tension and excitement prior to the show and then straight after. See here.
Jarvis again up on A Room For London
Jarvis Cocker at Artangel's A Room for London, a one-bedroom boat installation on the roof of Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall. Try and wrangle the means to see it if you can somehow, it's glorious and London looks really something from up there.
Jarvis Cocker in Artangel's Room for London
Obviously a delight to shoot Jarvis Cocker at A Room for London, a one-bedroom boat installation on the roof of Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall. Invited by Artangel, he spent two days on board with special guests recording interviews and performances for his BBC 6 Music Sunday Service broadcast on Sunday 30 September.www.aroomforlondon.co.uk
Spector at Logitech UE launch do
Quite why Spector are appearing on this blog so much I don't know but they sounded good and performed well last night and the crowd did really enjoy it. We all know how a corporate gig can go down sometimes but Fred engaged the gathered throng easily. Credit to 'em.
Of Monsters and Men at Village Underground
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.
