Shot to illustrate a feature in The Stool Pigeon music paper, I took American band Murder By Death along to Camden Market ahead of their Barfly gig. They flatly refused to stand in front of the Confederate flag we found at the shoot location. I was thinking Dukes of Hazzard…but apparently where they come from it means you like to kill black people. Point taken.

Commissioned by Southern Fried Records to produce images for FACE the debut single by The Black Ghosts. This is what I came up with – multiple headed monsters!
Artwork and Press Shots for the eponymous Lord Skywave album released by This Is Music Ltd. Inspired by the bass music scene we built our own totemic soundsystem speaker stack. Slightly ridiculous, but fun.
Publishers Nelson Thorne commissioned me to photograph a pair of Fine Artists at work in their Hackney Studio. Here’s Richard Bevan MA (Slade School of Art) sticking some sellotape to a lightbulb!
Simian Mobile Disco’s first ever photoshoot! This picture went on to become pretty iconic for them and was used almost everywhere for the first few years of their meteoric rise to success. The shot is based around colour changing lighting units designed by Jeremy Lord (and possibly wired together by Simon and myself)
