Home Sweet Camera - An isolation inspired series.

When I moved to Paris in Jan 2010 I had no internet & no friends for 3 months which was very weird but led me to get up to all sorts of things with my camera. 👀
I looked back at some of the work I made then which led me to gather a collection of photos & videos I’ve made in the various homes I’ve lived in. Some are good, some are bad, some are funny & some are just straight up ridiculous. And you might spot some themes. I’ll be posting a selection on my Instagram account over the next few days / weeks and also here on the blog. It’s a sometimes surreal look at domestic boredom / creativity / exploration.

From the Archive

I lived in Paris for a few years, where I was fortunate to get to know some of the city's up and coming producers, DJ's and artist's. Once such person was Manaré - who as well as being highly creative, is a very nice person and a great person to photograph. It's rare gem meeting somebody so natural in front of the camera and I absolutely love this shoot which we did in the summer of 2011 in a small park near central Paris. In some of the shots, Manaré is modelling a t-shirt from his own label Noir Noir, which produces stunning pieces inspired by Art and Nature. It was an absolute pleasure to come across these photo's today, so I had to share them. I posted a few to give you an indication of the process involved in shooting people.
