Photography Inspiration

A few weeks back when I was in London I took the chance to see a couple of exhibitions that really inspired me.

The first was called Wembley to Soweto, at the Oxo Gallery. The gallery shows the results of a month long photography course run in Johannesburg last year that gave teenagers an opportunity to learn not just how to take good photographs, but how to feed your family using a camera as the tool of your trade. Watch the video below to learn more.

The second exhibition was by Duffy, at the Idea Generation Gallery. I love Duffys work, so it was great to have the chance to see some of it printed and hung large… great experience.

What’s been inspiring you recently?

The Mead Booth!

I had the distinct privilege of photographing some of my best buddies getting married at the weekend, and what a blast it was! There is genuinely no two quite as unique as Chris & Laura… a Dr Who themed address? Why not!

Photographs are coming soon, but for now check out the photobooth pictures over here where you can view & order prints.

Baby P

The ever lovely Kat invited me into her home to shoot a few photographs of her and the bump as she prepares for Baby P to arrive very soon. We had a blast just hanging out and talking, and oh yes, taking a few photos! Here are a few of my favourites.

Open Swimmer

My friend Kirsty plays with Open Swimmer, and despite numerous attempts I only just managed to see them play last weekend at SOLAS for the first time.

Loved their sound… they have a single out on iTunes (Sugar Bowl), but personally I think it’s not overly representative of their sound. Was great to see them perform and get a feel for their work.

Check out their website, buy the single, and then go see them live!
