John Cleese – A Lecture on Creativity

 

My father in law mentioned him to me today, and after watching it, I can only bow to the master. Fantastic lecture for all creatives today. Very much up to date, especially in the photo industry nowadays. Watch it, learn and get inspired!

Friday Wallpaper: View Of London from Primrose Hill

I have been wanting to do this for a while, as a way to say thank you to the little audience i have here. I even tweeted about it. So now that things are calming down, i’m giving this a go. I’m going to post a new wallpaper a couple of times a month to start with, and then hopefully i’ll do it weekly.

Editorial: Looptroop Rockers for Beatnik Online

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:

words Sven H Carlsson / images* Romain Kedochim

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.

Preview: Kate and Greg’s Wedding.

Hi All,

I’m leaving the country to get married in less than 10h, and I am trying to get my blog up to date, but I can see that I have way too much backlog. So I decided to post a couple of “preview” post, and a couple of others that have now been published. For those, i will backdate them. It’s not really the way I do things usually, but I really want to get all of this out there.

So here is a shot taken at the last wedding I shot this season, about a week ago. I have not yet post-processed anything, but this is an image I particularly liked, straight out of camera.

Greg and Kate's Wedding's preview

They were lovely, relaxed all day long. They made the day a lot easier (Especially after our car got broken into, the satnav got stole, and one of us had to wait for the police while the other one kept shooting the party and speeches!).

Watch this space for a more in depth post, with photos of the whole day, coming soon.

News: SohoSonic Studios are now Open!

To see the rest of the photos, head there, and say hello!

BTS: Alexander Stewart’s music video

So, a few days ago I was helping on the shoot of the music video of Alexander Stewart, shot on a RED camera (ooh! fancy!), directed my my very good friend Ben Pollard. And I was asked to take a few photos, and i obliged :) How could I say no?

It was shot in a cinema… with a twist. Not saying anymore about it. I will post a link once the edit is finished, and the video is online.

And now, the photos:

Editorial: Starboy Nathan for Blues and Soul Magazine

The title says it all. 2 mins to setup, and 5mins to shoot it.

Daley on Pinboard for “Reherseal Room” Session

Hey Peeps, just a quick pointer to this fantastic track called “Be”, by artist Daley, which I just discovered, thanks to Pinboard! He reminds me of D’Angelo and Maxwell combined together. Right up my alley. Enjoy and go read the review too.

Video: Beatnik At Soundvave Croatia

Hi everyone!

I’m starting off this week end with a little video of BeatnikOnline.net‘s 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!

Preview: Glenn Lewis – At Five And Nine

Hello peeps!!

Here is a a quick preview of the shoot with incredibly talented artist and friend Glenn Lewis. We met up for a day of interviews and promotion and I managed to steal an hour of his time. We tried to use the amazing venue that is Five And Nine to the full possibilities. And I am quite satisfied with the result. There will more to come in the near future when these get officially released, as well as photos from the show.

Photoshoot: Looptroop Rockers’ Music video – BTS

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 if you’d like a set of Wallpapers, I’m thinking I might start doing a weekly giveaway :) If you’re interested, let me know in the comment section or on twitter!

Video: Beatabet Records Present PU$$Y SHOW

Kicking off the 2011 releases, Beatabet’s much anticipated PU$$Y SHOW has finally arrived. A raucous electro-hop dancefloor banger produced by the man named Dave The Machine, featuring the lyrical onslaught of vocal maestros Bunty and MC Fay-Zee.

Directed by Kassia Zermon and Alex Forster, the music video was shot in the back streets of Brighton where the collective is based. 90′s rude-girls and boys strutting their stuff in string vests and shell suits… what a combo meal!

Brace yourselves…
