Fox!

I just had to upload this. I think it's amazing. (And also a bit of a dusty scan still - this may change)

Nuclear Bunker

These are the only 4 Shots I got back after a roll of film in a Nuclear Bunker operational from 1961-1991 (or there abouts) at the highest point in Leeds, on top of Otley Chevin.

The shots arent the best but there was barely room for 3 people nevermind a tripod and no light whatsoever!

Many thanks to Matt Nemyria and Lucas Mahoney for the spontaneous pick up!

[There are more shots from outside to be added once they've been scanned in from a different roll!]

(The colours are a bit mental here but it was the best way to get any definition in the shot)

Woop Goes the D300s

New camera!

Theses are the first photos I've taken with it.

They're of nothing in particular. Just down The Calls in Leeds 12AM-1AM in the morning. Because that's when the interesting things happen.

BMX

This summer I have been mostly shooting on film for my current projects and consequently am unlikely to see any results until mid September..

However as a bit of fun my good friend and frequent model/assistant/tag-a-long-er Sam and I have been trying to do some sports orientated photography continuing the Skate images from last summer and progressing onto BMX shoots. Below is the one image we can both agree on!

Magnum/Ideas Tap Breif

Magnum and Ideas Tap have joined together to create a competition to win an 8 week internship at Magnum, NY

I have shot the following images in response to the 'Photojournalism' category.

Accompanied is my short essay (100 limit)

I anticipate that life after the 2012 Games will initially be culturally richer but the games will soon be forgotten. I think this will be the same with the structures that have been built. Our culture does not encourage community events or the use of public amenities. Montreal’s Olympic Stadium and village is around a 12 minute drive from the centre and is a dynamic, well used area. Then theres Barcelona, they’re Olympic Stadium, also a 12 minutre drive from the centre, from the 1992 Olympics lies desolate. I believe, ultimately, we will be Barcelona.

I should note that this brief closed some time ago and I have only just noticed I never published this post.

Smoking Kills Viral

For our latest brief we were set 'Anything', that it to produce a creative solution or product of your choice.

Working with Peter Taylor we decided to create a viral ad to discourage smoking. Our research shows that smoking is a growing problem amoungst young people and so we decided that they sould be our key target audience. Taking inspiration from the recent e4 adverts that are 2D stop motions and our shared love of old westerns we decided to create a sock puppet shootout.

The video below is the result of our first attempt for the project, and ultimately what we handed in. We hope to further the project to improve the final outcome by reshooting the idea and significantly increasing the number of frames to create more atmosphere.
