Frequently Asked Questions

What camera equipment do you use?

This varies as i personally own a canon 30d but since it has been struck down with the infamous shutter problem. As well as this i own the typical junk found in any camera bag including several lenses, filters, magnifying glass, acetate, sharpies, metz flashgun. I tend to do a lot of experimental work with pinhole or toy cameras so my camera bag is usually filled with goodies of all varities. What? you wanted specific answers? Well you ant getting them : P

How do you obtain your photo passes for gigs/concerts?

I shoot gigs for www.inthepit.co.uk

Do you shoot RAW or JPEG?

RAW! All the way!

I see that you used to do illustration, how come you now do photography?

I get distracted by shiny things!

Seriously though i have never given up on my illustration and i enjoy drawing/painting as much as photographing a fashion shoot. To me as long as i am being creative and learning then i am happy : )

Who are your main influences?

I am influenced by everyone and everything, artists/photographers always see the world in a different way. Everything/everyone has the potential to be beautiful.

Why do you hate documentry photography so much?

This argument has gotten me kicked out of class several times haha i dont hate that type of photography at all. I hate when people believe everything you see in the image, when you are only seeing it from that photographers perspective.  By even shifting the angle slightly when taken a photo can change its whole meaning.

Film or Digital?

Hahaha this argument is the most stupid thing ever! PERSONAL PREFERENCE! Everything evolves if you want to be really awkward lets scrap both and go back to the wet plate process. Seriously though the end result is what matters to anyone viewing work, the bit inbetween is for my own personal pleasure. I use both and i like both for different reasons.
