MUSICAL GRAND NATIONAL

The grand national as a musical instrument?

This is a fresh approach to the commentary of the UK's most famous horse race. Every time a horse successfully jumps a fence, it's name is sung at a note determined by it's betting odds.

FASHION

I just finished a fashion shoot with Emily Mann's range of menswear. Emily is a 2010 fashion graduate from Kingston University who's collection is inspired by Glen Denny's 1960's images of Yosemeti rock climbers. The resulting look book (designed by James Titterton) has been selected to be shown at London's Graduate Fashion Week 2010.

STOLEN

My work is currently being shown at the STOLEN show at Arden & Anstruther Gallery, Petworth. The 'comfort' project featured earlier in this blog is on show there. Volenteers for this project were randomly asked to swap clothes, regardless of their shape, size or gender. They were photographed in a controlled studio environment and the results have been compiled into a book.

South Africa - Wola Nani

In January 2010 I won a place to accompany Kingston University lecturers Simon Maidman, Catherine McDermott and Rebecca Wright on a research trip to Capetown as a documetary photographer. I spent 10 days visiting various townships and meeting people asscociated with Wola Nani (a non government organisation that bring relief to the communities hardest hit by the HIV crisis). I am currently designing a website to hold all of the information from the project but for now here are a few of the images.
