And finally… Here is the music video I have been waiting to show!

Trust - Chasing Grace Official video

Shot over two days in London the video shows a girl’s effort to find confidence in herself and overcome her fears.

Thanks to the band - Chasing Grace, Universal music/island and Chai Rolfe - the cinematographer.

I shot this video for Ben Hood last summer with some wonderful ballet dancers to juxtapose Ben’s soothing, soulful song. Keeping a black and white aesthetic we wanted a timeless, cinematic story with emotion but also some subtlety.

Since then we shot the bigger budget “Last time” which packs a powerful, emotional punch but watching this again has reminded me how beautiful “Capital commitment” is in a different way. Hopefully you like the video too!

And finally I have created my first directing showreel!! Unfortunately a few projects are still yet to be finished so are not included but expect a slightly adjusted version next month. Much love.

And here is my latest music video for Ben Hood’s song ‘Last Time’. Shot in a day using the Red epic on my own made it a little tricky but thanks to help from friends we pulled something really humbling and beautiful off I think. Black and white not only gave the production a finesse but was also in keeping with Ben’s image and previous video. Thanks to Mick Ayling who was the main star in the video, although he has only ever acted for me, and had no prior experience his naturalistic action never fails to impress and create an emotional connection. Roll on more projects working with Mick!

Trust was a music video I shot with the help of the brilliant, energetic cinematographer Chai Rolfe. At universal in London I pitched for the project and met up with the band Chasing Grace signed to Island Records. The video was intended to be mesmerising, emotionally powerful and illustrate the difficulties a girl can encounter when faced with a disability.

Out soon.

My Second Instalment of the Ben Hood music video series has been shot. It was a tough shoot due to having no crew other than myself but myself and ben are happy with the results!

It follows an elderly man’s journey through landscapes and time, as he recalls his lost love. We watch him reminisce and feel his pain. An emotional music video!

“I’m just saying you only get one life. There’s no God, no rules, no judgments, except for those you accept or create for yourself. And once it’s over, it’s over. Dreamless sleep forever and ever. So why not be happy while you’re here. Really. Why not?”

About a month ago Azu, a soulful singer from west London asked me to shoot a little documentary for him, he then began to tell me that he was currently touring with Lemar. How cool!

We had a great day of filming together and I got to see both Azu and Lemar Perform at the 02 afterwards!

As you may have read below, I made a chevrolet / charity advert recently.

After filming I had a lot of scrapped footage and decided to make a short film with it using some wonderfully atmospheric music by the band Hammock! Please Enjoy!

Some screen shots from my latest commercial for coca-cola china. The concept took a beautiful young woman accross a city with coke bottles as her guide. Ready to be suprised by her boyfriend at the end. A thankyou for all the things she does for him.

Starring the wonderful Kamay Kan and Brendan Lai!

My team - Joe cook, Siu ping wan and Greg Niemand again tirelessly worked on the project, making everything as perfect as possible!

Brendan Lai, handsome-actor-extraordinaire came on board once again as the boyfriend. We were lucky to meet the very pretty Kamay kan who made a wonderful protagonist, taking to the role immediately, she was fundamental in creating the look with her brilliant fashion taste!

Portrait of Tina Modotti by Edward Weston, c.1925.

There is a huge story behind this photograph. Working on turning it into a film.

Hopefully by next year I’ll have more to say on the matter. In the researching stage.

“I come to you as a photographer – a craftsman I hope. My education was not from the public schools where I dreamed my hours away – but from my camera. Before it came into my life – I had drifted along mechanically – passing from grade to grade – by fair or unfair means – watching the clock for recess or noonhours or vacation time – taking home books for study and returning them still unstrapped the next morning. But suddenly my whole life changed – because I became interested in something definite – concrete. Immediately my senses of sight and touch were developed – my imagination keyed up to a high pitch – because – at last after years wasted – accidentally enough – it is sad to relate – I became interested.”
