An honour to have some of my early work a part of The Music Is Black exhibition at the brand new V&A East museum. The video of @santandave from @ajtracey birthday set at @radarradioldn is over 10 years old now. Feels like yesterday. Big up @qu_nn and @greymarco as their @wotdoyoucallit photo blog was the inspiration for me to drop out of uni and start documenting the Grime resurgence of the 2010s, which then led me to working at Radar and my freelance career, and so on. It all started with @shell_tv . Thank you for finding me @ chantellefiddy and thank you Jacqueline Springer for including me in your incredible curation.
The full video and many more sets from that era are still on the SHELL TV YouTube which feels like a time capsule now. Link in my bio

Nothing like a one take, double speed, handheld long manual zoom out shot on a freezing cold afternoon on Blythe Hill Fields
Watch LOVE in full on YouTube in 4k to get that buttery smooth 24fps and film grain that IG hates
