The Stairs get totally papped at Liverpool Psychfest! Last time I photographed The Stairs, there was one other local photographer and myself. We were happily dancing amongst the crowd getting our shots, standing aside for one another in a flirtatious creative dance. Tonight at Liverpool Psychfest was different. It was a macho, moody experience and […]
Lara Sanjar at Wild Renata Flowers is guest editing at Stylist Magazine and asked to shoot some diary pictures of her at work. Lara is desperately camera shy. To get around this, I shot a lot of close ups of her working to take her mind off the camera being there. This was also partly my […]
Will is training for an epic 10 mile swim from the Royal Sovereign Lighthouse back to St Leonards. The swim is to help raise money for Sea View Project A MASSIVE thanks to Calypso Kayaks (@calypsokayak) for generously lending Ben and I a kayak to document the training today. Weather permitting, the big swim will be either 24th, or […]
Look who I just met: Darryl Nau – sat on my bike 🙂 I didn’t know who he was, I’ll admit. This guy was just leaning on the closed gates on Hastings Pier. He said he was compering the BMX comp at Source Park. Totally humble about it. This being despite the fact that Battle […]
Lily and her partner Rob run the bar at Observer Building, the old newspaper offices in Hastings. It’s a beautiful old building with peeling, tired walls spruced up with art and weird sculptures. They’ve made a really homely space out of a cavernous room. The bar has mismatched furniture, tables that are doors, a pool […]
Artist Rosanna Dean paints motifs that are at once meditative and yet sometimes terrifying orgiastic scenes. Bundles of bodies intertwine and merge, faceless and yet comforting, familiar and recognisable as fragments of our own psyche and memory. Some of the larger pieces use a kaleidoscopic mandala format, shock forcing a visible love of Renaissance art […]
Due to strange ambient lighting, these pics came out in Third Man style. It’s this kind of randomness and surprise in the picture-making process of photography that makes it so much fun. These are some of my favourite personal photos for a while. Nice n’ loose style with friends after a lot of of highly […]

John Philipps is the proprietor of an extraordinary book store on London Road, St Leonards. He hands me and my friend comp slips with a beautiful picture of the Scarlet Pimpernel on them. The shop is absolutely rammed and even has a Whizzer & Chips annual in the window. This really impresses me somehow. Looking […]
On a moody day in Hastings, David was sitting in a seafront shelter watching the waves. He is bell ringer at the local church. Discussing his past, he said he’s rung bells in Battersea and Putney and used to live in Shepherd’s Bush. Bell ringing is a surprisingly social activity.
