It’s been a busy 2 weeks here with Retna keeping me busy in the evenings with gigs and some great new commercial client commissions.
I’ve had a chance to shoot and direct my first music video alongside director David Surridge. The video is for Wirral/Liverpool newcomers ‘Loved Ones‘ and it’ll be released shortly for the song ‘Hell’. Ill post up here once the single is released. It was a ton of fun to shoot and gave me my first insight into the world of video (i.e. it was a lot tougher than I thought it was going to be!). I shot a portrait of Loved Ones Nik Glover for the NME’s radar feature last week (so last minute and tight deadline we ended up 5 mins from my house at 8pm at night and delivered at 9pm!
I’ve also shot a series for a new salon opening in Liverpool soon which ended up taking place in the old Probe Records store (I bought my first Kyuss record in that place) a lot of fun, they’ll be coming up on here once they’re published. There’s also a bunch of fashion shots I did with Kerryn Grady in this months Spiel Magazine (which is available throughout Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool (next up on the blog).
This on top of my work at LJMU has been a brilliantly diverse period and I’m beginning to look forward to a Christmas break. It’s OK, we can say the ‘C’ word now its halfway through November ;) I spent a few hours with Paul Barber (Only Fools and Horses) at the Uni as he gave a fantastic informal talk on care homes and the care system in general. I also just shot a bunch of new student profiles for their external communications of which you can check out below. Click ‘Read More!’.
Exciting run up to Christmas ahead too. More soon.
