Escape Wavefold






Last weekend I went back to Scotland after two years. On Saturday morning I met Kimberley Grant in Edinburgh and went for a walk trying to find some locations. I had worked with Kimberley before when I was living in Glasgow and we shot the Graveyard Girl session inspired in M83. This time I wanted to shoot in Glasgow again but finally couldn't so decided to do it in Edinburgh, I wasn't sure if we would be able to find some nice spots but ended up in the abandoned buildings you can see in the photos, they were amazing.

Kimberley Grant also takes photos and has made the Touris.ms guide to Glasgow, so make sure you check it!

There are some more photos from the shoot, if you wanna see them head to my Flickr or Cargo Collective.

Beside the sea - Article Magazine Issue 03




Published in Article Magazine Issue 03
Models: Cally Higginbottom & Leila Walker
Styling: Emma Pud
Production: Ben Dunmore

First of all it seems like everytime I upload an image here the quality is even worse than the last time, is someone else having the same problem?

These are part of a editorial I shot for Article Magazine before Easter. The mag is out now and you can get it for free in Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, London, Glasgow and Edinburgh, you can check the stocklist here.

If you're interested in checking more photos from the shoot (and in definitely better quality) you can take a look at my Cargo Collective or Flickr

Swatch MTV Playground

Here's another video from Swatch MTV Playground. I'm sure you've heard about Rankin, he has portrayed celebrities as Madonna, Katy Perry or even Prince William, as well as being the founder of Dazed & Confused. In this video he explains why you need to love your work if you're doing something creative and what it takes to become a successful photographer, quite an inspirational advice.
If you wanna take a look at more of the interviews with Rankin you can do it here, I wouldn't miss them! And you can also take a look at this talk with singer Kelis.

Toxteth





Yesterday I went for a walk around my neighbourhood, the guy in the photos is Russell Frew. I don't know why the portrait orientation photos have so low quality in here, anyway, there are 12 more photos from yesterday. If you are interested (and wanna see them in bigger quality) you can take a look at them at my Cargo Collective or Flickr. By the way, going back to Scotland tomorrow after two years!!
