liquid visions…

I was very excited to receive a visit from George Eko, the editor of Labb Magazine. George was in town to help out with distribution of the latest edition of Labb which is available in magazine stores throughout London. The magazine looks gorgeous, is printed immaculately, colour rendition is perfect and the content is lush. I also wrote an article: ‘Fashion Photography is dead, long live Fashion Photography, Viva la Revolucion’ which was published in the magazine. George is a pleasure to work with and is keen to support emerging talent in the industry. I hope to work more with him on upcoming issues!

I have 2x editorials in this issue.

This menswear editorial was styled by Samuel Joseph Smith: pieces by soon to be graduates of the RCA, and also some items by Rick Owens.
Grooming by Alex Gillott
Model: Richie @ Models 1

I also have another story which i blogged about previously which ran in the magazine under the title ‘Lux et Nox’ with a nod to Bill Henson whose work I am a big fan of.

I took these at Liverpool street. Been interested in camera shake/blur and wanted to try it outside of the studio. Intrigued by the results and want to experiment a little more.

The Burj Khalifa is currently the tallest building in the world. It was originally going to be called the Burj Dubai but the emir of Abu Dhabi bailed out Dubai financially and he got the honour. Dubai has hardly any oil left hence the effort to build it up as a tourist destination. Abu Dhabi has lots of oil.

this is the view from my sister’s apartment in dubai. Just off Mankhool Road in Bur Dubai. It doesn’t always look like a big car park but it was friday and everyone gets bussed in from the construction sites to visit the Mosque (see the Minaret on the left).

Every Geek’s Must-Have accessory…

This one got me really excited. A Blade Runner LED umbrella. Just tooooo coool. Brings me back to my youth and debates about whether Deckard was really a replicant or not.

You can actually buy this. Further info on ThinkGeek. Thanks to Damo for the headsup.
