Mrs Jones was once caught out by Frank Skinner. Whilst reviewing a stand-up gig at a comedy club in West London Frank Skinner snatched the notes she’d been writing and read the not so flattering review of the warm-up act out to the audience. Mrs Jones isn’t a fan of Frank’s. As with the Jarvis Cocker story I didn’t get around to sharing the funny anecdote during the shoot.

A beautiful location portrait of Anna one of the actors involved with Secret Cinema’s Third Man production.

I came across this visually brilliant music video for the South African hip hop/ravers ‘Die Antwoord’ via the FeatureShoot website. It’s shot by South African photograher Roger Ballen, such a simple idea but shot beautifully. It reminds me of the also brilliant Tyler the Creator video for their song Yonkers. You can watch the Die Antwoord video after the jump…

I’m sure Nick Holtam, the current Bishop of Salisbury, would tut at the number of cliches present in this portrait but I rather like it. I couldn’t resist the light cast by the lamp just out of shot.

Prompted by a carwash themed competition, I finally got around to shooting this idea which had been floating around my head for a while. Don’t try this at home (or the carwash).
________
A portrait I’m rather fond of, featuring the very striking Channie, a model I shot with last week.

This poor chap was becoming increasingly incensed trying to sort out his broadband problems with Virgin Media – I can sympathise. Or he’s an actor I photographed at the Farmiloe building in London for the very fun Secret Cinema.

A recent business commission which took me to Freesource Energy to photograph the management team.

Whilst visiting family over the Christmas period I took a stroll along the wonderfully named Devil’s Dyke which runs through Cambridgeshire. In desperate need of some quick cash to pay an impending tax bill and inspired by Andreas Gursky’s landscape ‘Rhine II’ which recently broke the record for the most amount of money paid for a photograph ($4.3 million), I took this picture. I’m currently taking offers for my photograph, starting at £1 million (preferably in cash). If it helps you bid more - the image represents my own ”dramatic and profound reflection on human existence and our relationship to nature on the cusp of the 21st century”. I may have nicked that from Gursky. Get your offers in quickly and no Nigerian time wasters please.

Heres a portrait of Davis Williams CEO of renewable energy provider ECO2. Photographed with his 1964 290-horsepower Studebaker V-8 Chevrolet Excalibur. Not jealous….

A recent portrait of television adventurer Charley Boorman

A recent portrait of the amazing Diana Athill.

I shot a few portraits of a couple of chaps out hunting with their gun dog on the coast near Brean this weekend. I’d never fired a gun before, I have a pretty healthy fear of them going off in my face, but I had a go and nobody got hurt.
