South Sheilds

I was recently up in Newcastle visiting Kates family , I was really interested to see the old Ship yards and to see if I could get a shot there , so we headed out on  the Metro out to South Shields and walked along the docks

it soon became apparent that things have changed , after a quick visit to a pub it was confirmed , they are no longer there , its now all new Housing developments some good some not by the sound of things , Its such a shame that industries like this that define areas and people should be allowed to die like this ,

We ended up walking the other way and came across another old institution that has died away and been left to ruin , The Tynemouth outdoor swimming pool .In its day it must have been incredible in the summer , lets hope that the regeneration of the area can get places like this up and going again for the communities .

James Hunts F1 World Championship Car

I was lucky enough to go down to Mclaren headquarters and shoot the legendary James Hunts iconic World championship winning car amongst others , a great peice of history made even more famous by the Movie Rush centred around Hunt and Laudas battle to win the 76 F1 title , Eventually Hunt won it after Laudas terrible accident had made him miss part of the season and culminating in Hunt racing this machine round the Mount Fuji circuit in such bad conditions Lauda refused to race . Amazing stuff ... Amazing car ...#fb

Buriers new Release

I The  Buriers new release is out and I shot the artwork , they wanted a little of there past in the shot so we went down to there hometown of Maidenhead ,we drove round there old haunts and into town and we soon found our spot . I liked the graphic shape of the Graves War commission Building so I decided to use that as our background . #fb

ASICS Jamille Samuel

We went over to the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam to shoot the Dutch Sprinter Jamille Samuel for Asics , It was a great day and good fun trying some different Lighting techniques out , although getting all the lighting to the right part of the track was a serious slog .

In the Evening Leo and myself caught up with a bit of Dickensian Ping Pong ....

KARL OVE KNUASGUARD

Nice to see one of my portraits of the great Norwegian author up and out in posters all over London , he was an extremely interesting subject , chain smoking throughout our shoot , he was extremely quiet and laid back but once we started to shoot there was a real intensity that came about him , these shots are to form a series of covers for his series of controversial autobiographical books now out … fb
