I took this in the Almeida foyer while waiting to see Through a Glass Darkly. That day I was shooting a roll of Tri-X 400 in my Vivitar Ultra Thin and Slim. Which I developed using Rodinal/R09 with a 1+100 … Continue reading

I got a beautiful lens a few months ago which I’m trying to work out how to use it’s horribly unforgiving. It opens to a 1.4 aperture which I’m not that used to using. As you can tell by this … Continue reading

Again this was part of the Annalie cross processing photo shoot. I shot this on Ilford HP5 film on a really sunny day, I was a bit worried about the highlights being burnt out as it was probably the wrong … Continue reading

Mark James, works with Matt Hughes at Devil PR. As he sits opposite me, I’m always taking photos of him, but mainly to start a roll of film or to finish it. He’s so pissed off with me over it … Continue reading

There’s this great light that hits the tree outside my bedroom window early in the morning. Continue reading

I took this while I was waiting for the set of Top Dipping. It’s another Hackney shop front, surrounded by happy pigeons.
I love how small this shop is, I’ve no idea what it sold.
P.S Since I posted this LizzieJ commented on Twitter about the satellite dish. This building looks like it’s about to fall apart but it’s still got over 1000 channels to choose from. I love priorities.

I did a photo shoot with the actress Jess Collette.
This photo was take under a bridge with her face lit by a reflection from the water.

Shot during Annalie’s photo shoot, I went up to the first floor of her house and shot down on to her playing the keyboard to her plastic heron.
I developed the film using HC-110 dilution B. Which is 1/63 a really weak dilution. I was worried about the really bright sunshine we had that day blowing the highlights and losing the detail in the shadow, so a gentle development allowed me to find a really nice range between the dark pond, and a glowing Annalie.

I don’t take many landscapes, living in London without access to a good roof I don’t get the width much, London is all narrow and tall. I took this over the Regents canal while on my way to buy sausages.
Ben mentioned that it looked like a 19th century shot with a load of 60’s buildings stuck on above them.

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

I turned up so early to the set of Top Dipping, that I had to go for a walk before they let me into the house! I decided to walk around Hackney taking photos of the shop fronts. I love non plastic shop fronts and Hackney has some great ones. This one made me laugh, I hope that doesn’t make me a snob.

I love this building. It’s slowly being knocked down one flat at a time. It’s near some pretty expensive houses so they’re being very careful about bringing this building down. The yellow squares in the top right hand corner are tiles, so I guess that was a shower. Continue reading
