I captured this series of portraits for @danformless over the course of two weekends in central London. It is always a pleasure working with Dan & @wendtee and I'm really pleased with how this project came together. Dan is a London-based DJ, Producer, and internet radio pioneer known for his deep, dubby, and minimal house sets. As the founder of @forwardmovement_studio & @hoxton_fm he creates, broadcasts and releases electronic music through his label, @saboteurs_sanctuary often featuring his own studio-produced work. #portrait #portraits #portraitphoto #portraitphotography #dj

An afternoon spent with fashion & textile designer Luis Lopez-Smith at @imprint.works , located in Coal Drops Yard, King’s Cross. This is the first in a series of conversations, beginning with an introduction to the studio, the business, and the work produced there. Many thanks to Luis for his time and for sharing his design background and perspective. Also thanks to @danformless for the introduction. #imprintworks #coaldropsyard #london #fashion #textiledesign

A collection of natural light portraits captured in Newcastle with my good friend and DJ/Producer @pattnmusic We explored a few motorway underpasses and walkways near the Tyne Bridge and I must say the locations we found were perfect for portrait photography. I love the textures in these photos and the brutalist architecture in the background, crumbling and falling apart after decades of neglect. #portraitphotography #portraits #portrait #photography #photographer #freelance #newcastle #newcastleupontyne #uk #pressshots #presspack #naturallightphotography #photo #portraitphoto #dj #producer #pattn #pattnmusic #toon
