A couple of months ago I shot alternative hip-hop trio Young Fathers for the programme of Dutch music festival WTWTA. Young Fathers are based here in Edinburgh and this year everyone is talking about them so just give them a listen if you haven't done it yet!
You can find more images from the shoot on my website:
Last month, I decided to create a few t-shirts with the 'Just Like Honey' (The Jesus and Mary Chain) image from my personal series/video '10 Shoegaze Songs'. I first talked about them on Facebook and people seemed to like them so decided to order a second batch and also include another one with the 'Sometimes' (My Bloody Valentine) image.
For those of you who haven't seen '10 Shoegaze Songs' before, it is a small personal project I developed one year ago while I was back at my parents' home in Spain for Easter. I filmed the video with a Hi8 camera and took 10 stills representing 10 of my favourite shoegaze songs.
The photos below are from a shoot I did with blogger Melisa Minca in Edinburgh. If you're interested in the t-shirt you can buy it here:
A couple of months ago I received an email, just before going to sleep, asking if I wanted to shoot for Nylon - I was really excited even though I didn't know what I was going to shoot.
After a couple of emails, they asked me if I was available on Monday (I think this happened on a Thursday) to shoot Peace in Glasgow. I work full-time but I had taken the day off because it was my birthday the next day, so luckily enough I was able to say yes.
This was my first band shoot so the day before I was quite nervous, mainly because I wasn't sure how I was gonna direct them and didn't really want to turn it into a fashion shoot. Once I arrived to Glasgow it all went very well, met the band and the guy who was gonna be interviewing them and we all headed to the location I had in mind (some Glaswegian massive buildings, of course). I shot for around 20 minutes and that was it! The guys were playing that night in Glasgow but, living in Edinburgh, I couldn't go (reminder to myself - move back to Glasgow).
The shot and the interview is now out on the May issue of Nylon Guys. There are more pictures at bigger size on my website!
Thanks to Rachel Lamb for coming with me and helping! Make sure you check her photographs!
Also, if you're reading this and happen to be an editor of a music magazine message me on contact@igortermenon.com. Now I can say that I'm available for music commissions :D
