All of my GD4YA record label photography so far!

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing my photography transformed into the record labels for GD4YA’s releases! Putting them together like this, you can really see what the art direction is all about! The photos are fairly close to those seen in my original Drumz of the South series which wasn’t just about dance-floors & DJs but the environment & the streets I walked around or that the music came from.

An Afternoon with GD4YA Records

Portraits and location shots of GD4YA records in and around SW2, Croydon and DnR Record Shop; captured last week. Felt quite emosh taking the train into Brixton and walking up Brixton Hill, past St Matthew’s Church and other old hang outs.

REWIND! Re-visiting The Carvery Studio (& meeting Leo The Boxer dog)

This week I had the pleasure of returning to Carvery Studios, in their new Leyton location.

I first met Carvery while on assignment for FACT Magazine, photographing a story about London’s Mastering Houses and it was really nice to see how much they’ve grown since then.
