ireland for threesixty mag...

I was super stoked when British mag ThreeSixty decided to run a full feature from my 2012 Irish travels... As well as running images of Wingy and Jack, our host with the most Stef Skajarowski, his brother Danny Boy and Dublin legend Tom Gillespie all had pics featured and it was a really rad, all round article. Good friends, good vibes and green barrels!

documenting art...

I was approached recently to photograph an upcoming exhibition at FOLD gallery in Clerkenwell in London. It's something I think I'll really miss about the city. Private views strewn throughout the streets of the east end. There's not too many better ways to spend an evening with friends, taking in some creative work with a couple of beers and a bunch of banter...






angie porter - shine...

I had the opportunity, not too long back, to work with DOP Charlie Herranz on a music video for artist Angie Porter called "Shine". I was a long day on set, but it was a good crew and I really enjoyed the chance to be in full control of gripping. Below are a few pics from the day and the final product...

barclays...

Last year I was commissioned to shoot some in-house and behind the scenes images for a new Barclays Bank campaign promoting their new app... It was quite a funny concept in hindsight; bank managers in suits and ties, playing with giant building blocks to promote a financial institution... 
Ahhh the joys of advertising...
The vibe on set was relaxed and organised which made for an enjoyable days shooting... Thanks to Torie and Angharad at Redwood agency for having me onboard...
Lights, camera, ACTION!

afternoon delight...

Prepared like a boy scout, carrying the camera kit religiously always results in unexpected opportunities... This particular afternoon on the point brought with it new angles and some good old fashioned #cloudporn ...

Lumps and lines...

covers! carve 139...

While shooting with Wing in Ireland last year, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to shoot some of Ireland's best surfers including good friends Fergal Smith and Hugh Galloway. Just over a month later, I was stoked to find out I'd scored my first cover of a surfing magazine, a flaring Ailens barrel of Irish lad Cain Kilcullen! Inside Carve 139, Ferg and Hugh also enjoyed double page spreads for their efforts and a sequence of Cain's wave also featured... 
It's been a dream of mine for a while now to shoot a cover for a bodyboard, surf, skate and snow mag... Two down, two to go I guess!

bank girls...

I spent a good part of late 2012 working on a variety of projects with Hangar Seven, a London based agency. They produce a range of catwalk material for a range of clients and it was always a fun, fast paced environment. Below are some stills from behind the scenes of a JD Sport/Bank shoot and a video example...
Double the fun...
