Last Days of College

Sorry about the lack of updates but I decided to take a little break this summer and spend most of my free time on my side project Future Positive.

I took these photos a few weeks ago and they were published in Bast Magazine. My friend Danielle Coates helped me again with the styling and the model is Anton Jones.

You can see the rest of the photos from the editorial on my website:

After School

A couple of months ago, I shot this editorial and short film here in Edinburgh. It was great to work again with stylist Katherine Whyte - every time I've worked with her the result has been amazing!

Ciara Rafferty @ModelTeam and Sophie Crooks @Colours were lots of fun and were great both on the pictures and the video. Also, Caron Tait (MUA and hair) did an amazing job.

If you want to check the whole editorial, you can do it on my website:

Future Positive - Brew Lab

Here are some of the latest photos I took for Future Positive. Future Positive is one of the side projects I'm involved in and it's a website that features interviews with creative and entrepreneurial individuals.

We started the website in January and this is our third project, an interview with the founders of Brew Lab here in Edinburgh.

Peace for Nylon Guys Magazine

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

Pattison Street for Fucking Young

I shot this editorial 3 weeks ago for Fucking Young. Had been wanting to do some British-inspired menswear for a while, I had a chat with my friend Danielle Coates and she put together the amazing styling for the shoot!

The model is Ben Nugent @ Colours, who's only 16! It was he's first editorial and he did a great job.

We were quite lucky with the weather - I wasn't sure if we would have to cancel the same morning of the shoot due to the rain. It was pretty cloudy but it worked well with the styling and the theme for the editorial.

If you like the pictures above, there are more on my website:

Also, last Friday I shot my first editorial using a Contax T2. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and the photos have turned out great! I also shot my first fashion film, using a Hi8 camera. I'm really excited about the overall result so hopefully the shoot and video will be published soon!

Sunday Zine Review #77: Of The Afternoon 02

Of The Afternoon is a contemporary photography magazine founded in April 2012 as a platform for new and emerging photographers to share their work with a wider audience.

Phil, the editor of Of The Afternoon, messaged me a couple of weeks ago to show me the magazine and after receiving the second issue and seeing how great it is, I decided to ask him some questions about his publication.

I've really enjoyed the second issue of Of The Afternoon, flicking through its pages has become a great way to spend this Sunday's afternoon. Could you tell me a little more about Of The Afternoon and yourself?

I graduated from a photography degree last year and started working in a gallery in London with the aim of eventually curating. While working there I had no real input into the creative side of things, so decided to start publishing work that I found interesting through Of The Afternoon. 

It started off as just a blog where I occasionally posted work that I found interesting.  As it began to receive more attention, it lead to me being able to publish the first issue in December last year.

I've seen that Of The Afternoonstarted as an online project. It's interesting to see that many online projects are turning into something physical. Did you always have in mind creating a print version of the blog when you started it, or would you consider it a natural evolution?

I always wanted to publish Of The Afternoon in print.  Viewing work online can be great, but nothing will ever compare to the printed image, especially when it's done well.  Releasing a regular publication also helps to separate Of The Afternoon from the 1000's of other blogs that are out there, I definitely don't want Of The Afternoon to get lost amongst all of them.

Do you have any future plans for Of The Afternoon?Based on the content of the magazine, I'd say that an exhibition looks like the next step!

I'll be focusing a lot more attention to the online side of things for the time being to try and grow the audience and build interest for the release of Issue #3, which I imagine will be released sometime over the summer.

For Issue #2 there was an exhibition at Underground Gallery in London, which worked really well. Having a launch night/exhibition is something I'm going to try and do for each release.  I'm also currently finalising plans for an exhibition in Helsinki for over the summer, which I'm really excited about.

If you want to find out more about the second issue or get a copy, you can do it on Of The Afternoon's online shop.

Have an EWAN day

 

One month ago I had the honour of shooting again for Ewan Clothing. 

Ewan is a Spanish label, based in Asturias, the region where I studied my degree. This label was established in 2007 and has grown and changed a lot since then. What started as a collection of graphic t-shirts has evolved into a great selection of garments and two new collections every year.

While I was studying in Gijón a couple of years ago I shot their F/W 10 campaign so it was great to collaborate with them again and here in Scotland!

This time I prepared a photoshoot for the label in Edinburgh using clothes from their current collection and based around their motto "Have an Ewan Day"

You can see the full series of photos at a bigger size on my website:

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped!

Sunday Zine Review #60: romka 7

When I was first starting with the Sunday Zine Review, I wrote a small post about the sixth issue of romka. After discovering the magazine, I was really looking forward to the new issue so it was a nice suprise when its editor, Joscha Brucker, messaged me about sending me some copies to review.

For those of you who haven't heard about romka, it is little photography magazine which showcases photographs and the stories behind them.

Founded by Joscha Bruckert 4 years ago, romka has become a cult publication in the independent publishing scene. This magazine is now a global platform where professional and amateur photographers archive their memories in the shape of a collective photo album. Emerging artists and established photographers like Alec Soth have shared their images and explained everything behind them.

Issue 7 of romka features photographs by over 50 different artists. Each of these images is accompanied by a text describing why it is so important to the respective photographer.  There’s a nice balance of stories, with a focus on really different topics, from family and holidays to death and childhood memories.

Love plays an important role in this issue and Joscha has selected 12 photographs related to this subject, which have been laid out in a minimal design, with the size of the images similar to the dimensions of a slide or a 35mm frame.

This issue also features an excerpt from a private photo album from Friedrich Tietjen’s collection, consisting of handprinted black and white photographs showing a typical German middle class home from the 50’s.

The last pages of romka 7 are dedicated to bad photographs, adding a touch of humour to the publication. Back in 2009, Joscha asked photographers from all around the world to send their worst photographs. The final selection included in this issue (presented by carp fishers holding the images) have been “anti-curated” by Joscha and some important names in the contemporary photography world, like artist Joachim Schmid and Bruno Ceschel from Self Publish, Be Happy.

 If you want to get a copy of this issue, you can do it on romka's online shop.

Joscha has kindly sent me several copies of the new issue so I've decided to give away a copy! All you have to do is visit the Sunday Zine Review on FB, and like and share THIS PHOTO.
