I took some photos of the poet Amy Acre on the roof of her building in East London. She performed her poems while I took photos. The sun was setting and it was a beautiful light.

I’m a bit of a sap, but isn’t there something awful about a lost ball. Not sure, how I got the light leak, on the left as it was the middle of the film and it’s the only one that … Continue reading

I was waiting at Angel station for someone, and I thought I’d spend a bit of time stalking people. Seeing if I could capture something private. I wonder if she’s bored or upset? I shot it on Ilford hp5+ 400, … Continue reading

This is so cross processed it looks like a painting. It’s my favourite from the Annalie shoot.

I took this during the cross processing shoot. I changed cameras to the Vivitar Ultra thin and slim. It was a sunny day and I wanted to get a streaming sun into the film. It went with the dream like feeling of the other photos, except this feels more like a memory.

A few nights ago Annalie Wilson let me come and take some photos of her and the band. I took a mixture of film and digital, this is my favorite of the night which I took on a 135mm lens using Kodak Tri-x film. The gig was really dark and I pushed the film to 1600, not totally happy with rolls development, but interesting to see what I could change. I used Ilford DD-X think I might try HC110 next time.
I haven’t taken photos at a gig before and there are lots of things I’d wish I’d done differently, taken a much wider backup lens, developed the film more gradually to bring out some of detail in the shadow, been brave enough to take some photos behind the audience.
Hopefully I’ll get to do it again in the future.

This is more push processing, using Legacy Pro 400 pushed to 1600 and developed in Ilford DD-X. I’m surprised by how un-grainy it is. I guess black and white is much more forgiving.

At Plough Yard we have a christmas decoration which is semi permanent, it’s a sticker on our glowing wall of fairy lights which we’ve never taken down. I prefer it slightly out of focus.

I think these two, even though they’re similar, are by separate artists. They’re just around the corner from each other in Shoreditch. I took some photos of them on my phone but came back when I had my minolta to take a … Continue reading

I don’t know who these people are but I ran into them while they were having their wedding photos taken in Malcesine. It’s a beautiful town and I can see why they wanted to have their wedding photos taken on … Continue reading

I took these from a ferris wheel in Nice. I didn’t look through the lens much as I wanted to see what was happening. So their pretty all over the place.
