Sport Uncovered

I have a couple of images in this week’s Sport Magazine that I’m really pleased to be sharing with you.

Hammer thrower and olympian Sophie Hitchon and 2016 gold medallist synchro diver Chris Mears.

Thanks to John and Julian and the wonderful team at Sport Magazine. I am of course very sorry to be saying farewell to the title today which after 10 years will be no more.

The Botox Dilemma

I always find it fascinating to see what my personal work gets used for.

Here is a book cover from The Netherlands for Nathalie Huigsloot’s ‘het botox dilemma’

Nerd fact: Note how ‘The’ in Dutch consists of the same letters as in English but just in a different order.

AOP Awards 2016

Chinese girl long hair

New Movement Collective

Dance explorers New Movement Collective are performing ‘Collapse’ at the Southbank Centre, London first week of August.

I am really pleased the way they used my photo of Jonathan Goddard for this.

My Dance

Here are a few tasters from my shoot for The Royal Academy of Dance’s new ‘MyDance’ publication.

The shoot featured dancers from a wide variety of backgrounds, who represent the width and scope of The RAD.

Toddlers through to teens and then all the way up to the silver surfers were dancing, jumping and flying through the studio for a whole day.

More on my site soon and you can see the brochure here.

Novelist

Novelist. No he doesn’t write novels. He is a major player in the Grime scene; has worked with Skepta and has already been to Nike’s ‘top secret facilities’ in Oregon to show them exactly how the tracksuit should be worn.

Oh- and if you listen to Rinse FM you’ll probably know him.

Thank yous to Novelist- and Duncan, Hayden, Munnoo, Riya and the rest of the ‘gang’.

The Man Machine

From my shoot with dancer Jonathan Goddard exploring the ‘traces’ and fluidity of movement.

The shot below captures Jonathan’s incredible strength and sense of structural and dynamic shapes.

Muybridge’s shots of the moving horse came to mind whilst doing this – so I kept it in black and white.
