Photographic Harmoney | Vol. 2

It’s not often I get to work with someone like Harmoney, who I have complete creative synergy with and who puts their trust in me to capture images that perfectly encapsulate their energy. Well guess what? I delivered and then some!

Shoreditch City Streets | Vol. 3

Street Photography may actually be my favourite style of photography. I find picking up my camera, travelling to a random location and just wandering around snapping images to be so liberating.

Southwest Rebel | Vol. 3

Went into the archives and pulled out something I shot on my old camera, my FujiFilm X-S10. This is a shot of NVEY, an exceptionally talented South West London Rapper and just a great dude all around.

Today marks fifty years since DJ Kool Herc's first party at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx - widely credited as the kickstart for Hip-Hop. Herc's innovation was not even playing the whole of a record, but isolating the "break", where the rhythm section took centre stage and made the dancers (B-boys, as they would come to be known) get wild!

Legendary Galactic Hero | Vol.1

These two portraits are in my humble opinion, the BEST shots from my weekend at !

They feature the one and only human Gundam Encyclopaedia, @/EatsZakuBurgers (Twitter), cosplaying as Yang Wen-Li from (Ginga Eiyū Densetsu). He absolutely KILLED the cosplay and I’m looking forward to working with him again SOON.

Another one of my music photos on this ! This week, we have the pianist and composer Robert Glasper, performing as the leader of the Robert Glasper Experiment at Band On The Wall in Manchester in 2016. It was a perfect venue to experience this man doing his thing live!

Shoreditch City Streets | Vol. 1

On Monday, I decided to take myself off for a wander about this fair city, in order to not only do something I love, but also hone my skills at Street Photography; a discipline I’m not exactly au fait with.

After reviewing what I shot, this turned out to be my favourite of the entire bunch.

This was shot on my X-H2 with my Viltrox 13mm F/1.4 lens. Acros film sim. Edited in Lightroom.

JET SET RADIOOOOOO | Vol. 01

I wasn’t sure whether to post this, because I’m an obsessive perfectionist and it’s an image that isn’t the sharpest or has the prettiest bokeh, but going back and looking at it, it’s definitely one of my favourites.

It captures a dope moment in time and is one from way back in the archives; I shot it last July before I got my first pro gig.

It's ! Thought I'd share a photo I took this week of the great Large Professor, performing live in Manchester after an excellent Q&A session. A more dedicated person to Hip-Hop you will not find.

RIP to Dave, aka Trugoy the Dove, from the legendary and pioneering De La Soul.

Another great leaves this plane, all too early. I wish they got the chance to live into a well-deserved old age.

Photo shot during De La's performance as part of the Gods of Rap tour, Manchester Arena, 2019.

Purple Hearts | Vol. 01

Not quite sure how I managed to capture a picture this majestic, but these things happen. This was taken yesterday outside a studio in North West London, where I was shooting some stills for a Music Video.

Now for the boring stuff: This was shot on my @fujifilmuk X-S10 with an XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4 Kit Zoom lens. Velvia Film Simulation. Edited in @lightroom and Snapseed.
