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.

Sunday Zine Review #84: Loch Ness by Jamie Stoker

Today's second review is Loch Ness by Jamie Stoker. When Jamie messaged me to show me his book Loch Ness, I was really excited to receive a copy for review.

The first lines of this little photography book read: 

"While most children dream of becoming an astronaut or footballer when they grow up, it was something far more obscure that held my attention as a boy... I wanted to be a cryptozoologist."

I'm sure some of you felt the same way as Jamie when you were little, at least I did! I wasn't maybe that obsessed with cryptids but I remember a phase when I was reading a lot about the Yeti. What attracted me about Loch Ness is that Jamie decided to bring back this childhood fascination and turn it into a photo project that now has also become a book.

In Loch Ness, Jamie has collated part of the research and photographs he took whilst visiting this Scottish lake. The book features fragments from his interviews with people who have dedicated almost their whole life to prove the existence (or non existence) of some type of creature living in the lake. The book's format is also really nice, using Riso printing and with a layout and design that works really well with Jamie's photographs.

If you're interested in Loch Ness, you can view the whole project and buy a copy of the book on Jamie Stoker's website.

Sunday Zine Review #83: Incandescent 03

This weekend I'm also reviewing two zines. I've received many submissions in the last few weeks so I thought it would be nice to try to review them as soon as possible so they're still relevant.

Today's first review is Incandescent, a "colour photo zine" from Portland. Incandescent is run by photo enthusiasts Marissa Csanyi and Helen Jones, who founded the zine along with Michael Cardiello. 

Incandescent is published twice a year and was created as a platform to provide artists an opportunity to share their work free of charge. The zine focuses on film photography and more specifically, colour film photography - Graham Bell's foreword to this issue is a great introduction to the zine and why it showcases colour photography and not black and white.

The third issue of Incandescent features photographs by artists from all around the world showcasing different themes, although landscape photography has an important presence in the zine - which I love, of course.

Marissa and Helen are currently looking for contributors for the fourth issue of Incandescent. The deadline to submit your photos is June 15th. For more information about submissions and to buy copies of previous issues, have a look at Incandescent's website.

10 Shoegaze Songs

Three weeks ago I went on holiday to my parents' house in Spain. I had been listening to quite a lot of shoegaze music lately and wanted to create something around it. Being back at my old room was the perfect moment for it, I chose 10 songs from 10 different bands and decided to make short muted clips inspired by those songs - it was also the perfect opportunity to use the Hi8 camera I bought a few months ago and that I had only used for the Girls on Film videos.

Hope you like this little project! There are more stills on my website:

Sunday Zine Review #82: Adventitious 01

Today's second review, Adventitious 01, is a very special one. Mariya Ustymenko and Carlos Cancela Pinto, the editors of Adventitious, contacted me a few months ago to see if I would be interested in participating in a zine they were putting together. They asked me if I'd like to set a brief for a new photography zine and I agreed, of course.

Adventitious 01 is the result to my brief: HOME. When Mariya and Carlos messaged me, I had decided to finish my series "I used to live here" a couple of months before that. "I used to live here" is a collection of memories from all the places I lived from 2009 until 2012. During that time, I moved cities and even countries a few times and the word "home" had somehow lost its meaning to me. 

Adventitious 01 showcases four photography series by Mariya Ustymenko, Carlos Cancela Pinto, Marija Strajnic and Carla Andrade. Each of this series is a response to the word "home" and what it represents to these artists.

The result is beautiful and I love how each of these artists has decided to give their own meaning to the brief. Carla has shot some stunning landscapes of her hometown in northern Spain, Carlos explains how the notion of "home" has changed from a place to a way of living, Marija has decided to portray and classify her personal belongings based on the type of object and colour, and Mariya has captured the light of her new home in East Anglia, far away from her native Kiev.

I'd like to thank Mariya and Carlos for all their hard work and really hope to see a new brief and second issue of Adventitious soon! If you'd like to purchase a copy of the first issue and support this project, you can do it here.

Sunday Zine Review #81: Pudim 00

Today's first review is Pudim #00 by Portuguese collective I hate Bandages.

I Hate Bandages define themselves as a "for the moment" collective that gets together every once in a while to create new things lik t-shirts, prints or posters.

They also make zines, and Pudim is their most recent publication. This zine features work by some of the collective's friends, including names like Adriana Pacheco, Catherina Cardoso, Erica Lou and Joao Sobral. 

From holiday snapshots to abstract illustrations, Pudim's pages showcase the work of all these different artists creating a very interesting selection of images that represent well the collective's manifesto: " we want to share things we like and learn with others,and maybe motivate people to keep doing things just because they want to."

You can find more information about Pudim on the zine's Tumblr.

Doldan Sisters x Makelovelovemake

Last Christmas I shot a little lookbook for new label Makelovelovemake, it has taken a while but the photos are finally out.  The models were my friends Amalia and Marta Doldan, whom I had shot many times before so it was fun to spend one day with them making the lookbook.

There are some more photos from the lookbook here on my website!
