Mr Fogg invited me to travel with his band to Reading last friday, to shoot his set on the BBC Introducing stage. The electro pop artist made the most of performing in his home county, by bringing on a marching band to close the set. It was subsequently shown on the BBC. Not only a great bit of PR but it sounded great too!

I’ve recently put some concepts to Paul and hope to have some more images for him to paint in the next couple of weeks. Watch this space…

If someone would have told me 2 years ago, while I was at Uni, that I’d soon be shooting a rising star at the world famous Maida Vale studio’s, I would have been buzzing my tits off (for want of a perfect phrase). So of course I was delighted when electronic maestro, Mr Fogg, invited me down to shoot his recording for Radio 1’s Huw Stephens.

For me, it was special enough just to be in a building that has been graced by so many amazing artists – the walls adorned with images from Jimmy Page to Paul Weller, the White stripes to the late John Peel, let alone Mr Fogg and his band recording on their amazing facilities, I can only imagine how they felt.

I’ll be heading up to Reading festival with the guys, to shoot their performance on the Radio 1’s Introducing Stage on the 27th August and hopefully obtain some live images along with some back stage antics. Cant wait.

Spot the harpist in the booth!

A little grainy but I kept the flash off, out of courtesy towards the engineers.

Extremely looking forward to visiting the world famous Maida Vale studio’s tomorrow, courtesy of Mr Fogg. I’ll be shooting his recording session for the BBC, followed by his performance on the BBC Introducing stage at Reading festival, on 27th August. Pics to follow shortly…

I managed to get myself a pass to shoot Field Day last weekend, only to fall foul of unforeseen circumstances. I’m glad I wasn’t shooting a commissioned job but I’m still a bit peeved at the potential portfolio fodder that went a miss. Here’s a few images I shot before the said circumstances took place…

Last Saturday at the London institution that is the Lock Tavern, saw in part 3, of the the 4 day Becks ‘Music Inspires Art’ weekender. Casper Clark invited me down to capture some of the bass driven shenanigans. It always a good night at the Lock and once again I thoroughly enjoyed myself, meeting some fun people along the way. Below are a few visual highlights of the evening and you can view more of the images from the night by following the link to my Flickr page on my site. Enjoy!

Paul and I finally got together to produce some images, that he could then paint in his signature figurative and dot styles.

This image, Busy Being Fabulous was produced with no budget, using a white walled space, a digitally comped background that was shot in Brighton and the use of the lovely Kirsty with her own clothes and make up. Styled between Paul and I, we wanted to shoot the image as close to what the final painting would look like, in terms of its graphic style. Paul then used the photograph to work from and used his preferred canvass of aluminium. The final painting fetched £6000 at the Wanted Gallery (Now GG Gallery) in Notting Hill, London. We are currently in the process of discussing further work. Watch this space…

All my family together for the first time in ages to celebrate my brothers 30th. In a slight homage to Dorothea Lange’s infamous shot from the great depression in 1930’s America, I created this portrait of my mother and her three kids. Without wanting to take anything away from the power and seriousness of the original, which was titled ‘Migrant Mother’, every mother worries about the future of her children, with mine being no exception.
