Laurence

Clapham Wood July 2011

This place has all kinds of bad stories within its boundaries and Laurence is pretty scared of the area since he grew up there hearing all about them. Luckily for us we arrived on a rainy day and once parked up the sun came out beaming and we had a real sweet time.

recent purchases

aside from the new We Are Lucky zine, recently i've bought a couple of other smaller but still more than great mags...

This is a spread from Barry Magazine. Has a great feature on The Dirty Story and is filled with tons of amazing pictures of girls, puking and black eyes from a whole host of great photographers. I really dig the aesthetic of this publication and it only costs £6 with postage. Win!

This is LAW magazine which came in a nice shiny clear plastic cover. The mixed paper switching between matt and semi gloss throughout makes me jealous I havn't made something that feels like this yet. Featuring photographers from London and Brighton with images of footwear collections, butchers and a couple of nice fashion editorials with a direction wholly leaning to a strong sense of true British character - I'm into it. I'm not entirely sure where this mag is stocked as I just came across it in a random book shop and it is limited to 500 copies but they do have a website here >> http://law-mag.co.uk/

Next mags on my wishlist are Self Service magazine and Jacques magazine both of which are nigh on impossible to get hold of!

Bruce

A few more edits from this shoot will be coming soon.

http://samhiscox.com will be updated in the very near future also with nice new material.

Terry Richardson that ******* guy!!

I should have known better when I first came across this image on a miscellaneous blog with no credits. I loved it at first sight partly because I love sharks and partly because well..it's just pretty damn cool only to later find out it was shot by none other than Terry bloody Richardson! That guy is killing it right now and for your info this is the stunning Lily Donaldson shot for the Aldo SS11 campaign. Check out some more images from the campaign here. The whole thing is real nice looking so hats off to the man.

We Are Lucky Issue Number One

I'm feeling pretty smug after purchasing a copy of We Are Lucky's very first edition and recieving copy number ONE of 50! This magazine is three years in the making featuring 10 photographers who have regularly appeared on the We Are Lucky blog with Valerie Phillips, Dana Goldstein, Tania Shcheglova/Roman Noven to name a few, each of whom I am a very big fan!

It's only a tenner and curated by the highly talented Matt Martin who had a couple of exhibitions in London and Brighton earlier this year.

One song i've been playing at least ten times a day for the past month. It's a beautiful cover of a track originally written and performed by Junior Kimbrough. Love it.

Straightaway

This is a screen shot from one of Jonathan Leder's movies for Jacques Magazine short films. The guy is so damn good this is the second time I've blogged about him.

I absolutely LOVE this frame alone, taken from THIS short in particular.

Go to their VIMEO and watch all of them!

Hobbie Stuart

A shot from our latest shoot at the end of June. He's just posted a new cover on his youtube page which is definitely worth a listen, especially if you like Tracy Chapman.

This guy has an amazing voice and big things heading his way soon..

I wish I was a girl...kind of

Three of my inspirations to start and keep taking pictures and a short rant about sexuality in shooting..

I'm always jealous of female photographers, three of my favourite photographers are female and the same three were also my inspiration to start pursuing photography in a more serious manner. When it comes to taking pictures, I kind of wish I was a girl.

A guys motives are instantly questioned when taking pictures wether its in a public place or even a set up  shoot. People seem to be far more relaxed if it's a female shooting and are a lot more open to a female approaching them in a more spontaneous setting. It's understandable when their are so many cases of guys using a camera for non-professional reasons or generally being bad human beings but I don't think it's purely the reason why people can be a lot more closed off to guys. A female can become more in touch and engaging a lot quicker than a male can in a photographic setting wether the subject is male or female. I think people are generally a lot more wary of guys and don't ease up so quickly. I can totally see why because looking back through history the male has been predominantly an absolute shit and that's the reason I think I'd kind of be better off as a girl.

Gita's mum is called Rita and she doesn't think their names sound anything alike.

Luchadore

checked out some Mexican Wrestling on friday. The show was mad fun then I bumped into this guy at around 3am that night. He's one of the Luchadores but i'm not allowed to name him though because he doesn't have his mask.

Raisehell

Saturday night. Impressive.

Abbey Lee Kershaw with Our Mountain

Kind of accidentally watched these guys at The Great Escape. Really cool band and super nice guys. They were eating burgers too, I have a lot of time for people who like burgers.
