Hard launch: new headshots. It’s been a decade since my last ones and while the hair has stayed the same, it was time for an update. Everyone hates headshots but especially photo people. Massive thanks then to @capturedbycorinne for her generosity, skill and obscene stories about British celebrity royalty that led to the first shot.
Dream shoot. Back in October I got asked to produce global content for @canonemeapro to launch the new fisheye. ARE YOU KIDDING. @canonusa had @atibaphoto on the roster so that was the obvious start point. I had @itch_media put it together with a team who had never been to the west coast before. Atiba brought out crazy talented friends. And we got to go shoot skate the way you should shoot skate - fast and dirty with good vibes and good hangs. An absolute all timer of a shoot. Go check the YouTube post. Not as much camcorder, bails and cussing as I’d have liked, but Japan were very kind to us and indulged some very weird PowerPoints with deep cut references to Heath Kirchart and Thrasher magazine. Should also go without saying the lens is an insta-buy.
Shouts: @harrywkwebb@benwyates@kylejonesfilms@andyforduk@currencaples@vtanderson@nicolehause@deathandcompany@ho_sway@paigedorianproductions and the whole village. ✌🏼
@milliondeadofficial were never “my band”. But they’re my people. The project pre-dates me knowing any of them (I think we worked out I had just finished uni when the records came out). But it is rare and very special to be able to end something on your own terms, with love in your heart and a smile on your face. So I was very grateful to be asked down to @electricballroomcamden and shoot their last ever performance. Big love to band, crew and venue staff.
Thank you @raindancefilmfestival for inviting me along to @bifa_film . Hope to be back one day in a different capacity, but very grateful to be here at all.
Had a great time in Sardinia shooting events coverage for the mothership @canonemeapro . Always grateful my job is thinking AND doing. 40,000 steps in 3 days, insane heat, a bit of rain and a lot of porchetta. Grazie Mille.
Canon is *the* camera for indie filmmakers 🎥💛
Ben Morse and Jack Adair from @CanonEMEAPro talk about the power of the Canon cinema camera. We can’t thank our main sponsors enough for their innovation and support in empowering independent and emerging filmmakers.

Nearly 20 years ago, a very anxious Ben had zero network in film, and wanted to learn how. So he got on a train, paid to go to the only affordable course on it - at “Raindance” - and listened to a guy in sunglasses tell me you could make a movie for a hundred bucks.
Today, I’m a film maker. A director, a producer and part of the reason the brand that I work for is the main sponsor of the 33rd @raindancefilmfestival . Absolutely surreal. And the best part? I feel at home. All hail independent film. 🍿

Been too busy running around but here’s some selects so far from this years @floggingmollycruise . Always a delight to see a million buddies and discover new ones.
Spent five days in Lisbon for my birthday. Ate my body weight in pastel de nata and octopus, walked a billion steps uphill, and had the best company. 10/10 would Lisbon again. Also got to check out A Morte Do Corvo, which I never thought I’d get to see. Hashtag blessed.
It’s been an absolute dream helping the @rhythmandruse team get set up for their big opening. The show is hilarious, fast, and full of talent. Incredible music, performances and brain melting magic. Plus the secret stuff we aren’t supposed to talk about… tickets are out now and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
First time directing and my oh my how amazing it is to work with so much talent! Beautiful images captured during rehearsals of @rhythmandruse by the wonderful @benmorse
