Immaculate.

So it became time again (nothing to do with pay day, I swear), to retain my status as the High-top extraordinaire. My previously purchased pair were part of a special edition package Nike produced to represent lovers of 'Heavy Metal'. The combination of 80's metal typography, clean black leather with shiny gold tick & added gold studding on the ankle, made these Terminators the sickest design I'd ever laid my eyes upon. Alas now they have been out classed with the sister pair in the Heavy Metal package, the Vandals, which I promptly purchased on friday. I also took this opportunity to test out my new fixed lens and shot these magnificent bad boys in all there glory on my bed, at f1.4. Enjoy and be jealous...

It's all a matter of perspective...

Testing. Testing.

First shot with the beauty dish.

Many more to come.

Clinic Poetry

My good friends and fellow Goldsmithians have come together to form a poetry collective named Clinic. Consisting of Andrew Parkes, Rachael Victoria Allen and Sam Buchan-Watts, the 3 very talented writers explore their past experiences & challenging interactions, through portrayal of emotions expressed in poetic flare. As a collective they have had several readings now and impress all who dare to listen... here are some shots of Clinic at their lastest reading in the New Cross Inn.

Read and enjoy all their poetry published on the Clinic blog...

Please excuse the poor quality of resolution in these shots.

Self P.

Below is a shot I took of one of my photo shoots. Serving as a self promotional shot for my attempt at portraiture of the self [intentionally cryptic of course], I have made the image as striking as possible using a fish-eye lens in combination with a super contrasty, cool-tone effect.

 The original film print is stuck to the front of my bedroom door functioning as a collection of signifiers synonymous with me, hence a replacement for a sign gracing my name.

Summer's here: Proof

Temps are up (touch wood) and the sunshine is prevailing. One of the advantages of having a tree just outside from your window is the occasional treat when you're sick of the derelict architectural view. This critter was surprisingly uplifting at the start of the day. One of many I assume I'll enjoy over the coming months...
