We’ve had this one wrapped a long time ago, so it’s always nice when work you really like is eventually put out there. The Beatnik crew put together a great piece, and we used an opportunity while Looptroop was working on a music video in London to get some snaps. These were all shot on the same day.

As they say at Beatnik:

Looptroop Rockers have been making music together for two decades. Their first live show had them rapping over instrumentals by Black Sheep, a group that rocked hi-tops, stone-washed jeans and colourful shirts, and called it quits in 1995. Looptroop, on the other hand, are showing no signs of slowing up.

Video: Beatnik At Soundvave Croatia

I’m starting off this week end with a little video of our coverage of the Soundwave Croatia festival last year to make up for the fact that I couldn’t go this year, and it’s happening right now, as we speak! My photos are all over the program (although I still haven’t seen it) – and if you’re not there, well, you’re square!

Until the article gets published on Beatnik, I can only show you a preview of the work done on the day. But here is a quick snapshot of the team after a long day of filming a music video in London back in late March of this year. Good times :) And Let me know [...]


Event: Soundwave Festival 2010 in Croatia

Event: Soundwave Festival 2010 in Croatia

This year I went to Petricane, Croatia with the Beatnik Crew to cover the Soundwave festival 2010. As you can imagine, it was really really hard to be by the adriatic sea, under the sun, in my swimsuit, working away… But I promise I DID manage to have a good time! ahah.

Our writer Rob Boffard recollects his experience. And Sven and Ali give account of Day 1 and Day 2 on Beatnik Online. More photos after the break!

Photoshoot: TY This shoot is for this exciting project I got involved in some time ago called Beatnik Online Magazine. TY being such a huge inspiration for our Editor, Ali, it was a little bit of a big deal. I mean, we really wanted to get it right. We knew the concept was good, and although the location fell through at the last minute, Ali found the best replacement.

BACKGROUND: “Massive artist, mercury nominated – few uk rappers have such a influence on UK Black music. Plus he is one of my favourite artists so the piece is close to my heart. Listen to the Album ‘Special Kind of Fool’ .and a couple of extra tracks from previous albums. he has worked with De la soul, Arrested Development amongst others.”
here are some good videos:

CONCEPT: Intimate.. drinking tea… sitting at table of a typically English cafe. Maybe eating a platter of Sausage and Mash. Some candids and a couple of photos of the interview.


Photoshoot: Rox

Photoshoot: Rox

So, Beatnik Online interviewed Rox this week, for a feature on their website. And we managed to secure an hour for a shoot with her. The concept was to take her to a launderette on Shoreditch high street, and shoot a whole series in Black and White.

She arrived with a big smile, right on time. And we started off strong! Rox is just the most smiley, down to earth and genuine person you could meet, and a real pleasure to work with. She was patient and very professional! what a darling!

Here are a few shots:

News: BEATNIK Online Magazine: "Housing New Music"

Like any creative, I constantly look for more ways to broaden my horizons and fine tune my skills on the job. It’s not that I am not satisfied with where I am since I’ve never been as busy before. It’s just that lately the Photography market has been dictating what I’d be shooting.

So I joined Beatnik Online, a wonderful adventure to me, a place where I am free to express my creativity and explore new ways of portraying people on the music scene. The team is young and motivated, passionate and very simply put: Extremely good at what they do!

And guess what: IT IS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED!!

So far, 2 features I have shot are online, Click on the links for the review:
