A quick four minute portrait session with artist/performer/choreographer @andersduckworth . Every frame brought something different, one of those shoots where I could have used almost every picture.
The first slide’s lizard eye effect happened by chance, created as Anders’ gaze shifted mid exposure. Shooting fast against the clock is fun and makes you work instinctively, for me it’s often a key part of the creative process.

Continuing with my fast instinctive portraits, this is @babajideolatunji , he’s a painter and one of my talented studio neighbours. This portrait took us 3 minutes to shoot and the look is mainly achieved in camera.

I’m working on a series of fast portraits, inspired by the immediacy of sketching. No expectations just fast and instinctive with lighting helping to set the feel.
Here’s my studio neighbour, Matt. He’s currently working on a painting that I particularly like so I thought I’d shoot his portrait. Looking at the camera clock we completed this session in 5 minutes. I like to think analogue when photographing so this fundamental look is done in camera.

Clouds don’t have colour of their own, they borrow it. From sunlight, from the angle of the hour. And here, from the lens of a camera, where an analogue technique adds colour by physics rather than computer.
This photograph was made over Ladbroke Grove in West London, a place of movement and edges, where trains rattle past rooftops and the sky reveals itself in sudden openings. The clouds here aren’t always grand, they come and go, indifferent to what’s happening below.
This is an ongoing study, not just of weather, but of looking. Of stillness. Of what it means to observe without rushing to define.
Though the clouds drift freely, this image is shaped. Colour is coaxed rather than created, through use of older methods. Slower, deliberate and leaving space for silence.
In the history of art, clouds have often played a supporting role, carriers of gods, symbols of change, expressions of mood. But here, they are simply themselves. Temporary, ordinary, and vast.
This image doesn’t search for meaning. It sits with what’s passing, a drift, a break, a shape barely held. In a world that often feels restless and over explained, there’s something steadying in watching something move across the sky, asking nothing of you.
Looking up won’t fix much. But it might change how you stand.
