Personal Notebook and Photographic Journal
Today was my second shoot with the Stealing Frames collective, held at the same location as my first shoot with the group, in East London.I was a little more creative this time around, using twice as many rolls of film, and really trying to push the digital images to their limits as well. I used many... Continue Reading →
Today isn't the kind of day I would usually write about on this blog, if only because I spent the day shooting on film and have no images to share immediately. Today I "celebrated" my 24th birthday in the form of a slow walk through Soho, pausing at midday for lunch at one of my... Continue Reading →
Around November last year I started to feel that something was a bit off about my street photography. Looking through the shots I'd taken recently I felt I was missing the vibrancy and colour of some of my summer projects. After I had rediscovered the application of colour to my images I noticed that many... Continue Reading →
The other day I received an email from David, containing a few behind the scenes images from our recent Street Photography course at UAL.There are quite a few from out and about on the second day, but also quite a nice collection from the last day when the students were all editing their work.I find...

I finally received the Ektachrome slides I shot while in Morocco earlier this month, and I'm very happy with the results.

I've been shooting my film at a much slower rate now than when I began, which is both a good and a bad thing. It means that I am being far more discretionary in the way I approach shooting in general, selecting between good and potentially bad images in my mind rather than clicking the... Continue Reading →
Following on from last month's mixed bag of travel from Iceland, which resulted in some of my worst film results but also some I enjoyed, I was a little cautious about my trip to Morocco. This would be a very different trip to my past travel projects, with a little more left to be spontaneous... Continue Reading →
(Cover image features student work; a candid photograph of me changing lenses - by Ryan.) I recently announced the launch of the Street Photography Short Course at UAL, directed by myself and fellow photographer David Babaian. This weekend we held one of our first sessions with a group of four students. I have been working... Continue Reading →
I don't always get my film developed at a consistent rate, so it can be difficult to keep any kind of chronological folder of negatives. I sometimes switch between cameras, and can go weeks before finishing a half shot roll, while shooting other images in the time between them. This can be annoying for record-keeping,...
