Spent the last few days in Las Vegas shooting for an upcoming documentary film, the schedule was mostly in the evenings and nights leaving plenty of time free to walk the city and photograph.
I also impulsively bought a new skateboard and would cruise the main Las Vegas strip at 5am, down perfectly polished marble floors and underneath endless high rise hotels, before the crowds but past the last of the night before stragglers.
This is a mini series from my days there. I don’t think these photos do it justice, but Las Vegas is a city where sin is brazenly sold in over sized buckets and 21st century values and morals shrivel and hide.
New work for the @guardian with journalist @fazackerleyanna
Steve Green is on a mission to clean up Cornish waters. He runs the community organisation @cleanoceansailing locating, recovering, and dismantling abandoned fibreglass boats polluting Cornwall’s waterways.
His work is amazing and difficult and if you’d like to support it I’ve attached a link in my bio to his Just Giving page where you can donate 🙌

“What would happen if the government caught us here?”
The rebel soldier in front of me is broad-chested, wearing a red beret, camouflage jacket, and joggers. He half looks back at me through the headlamp glow:
“They kill you. They kill us all. They don’t want you here. They don’t want the world to know.”
We’re in Cameroon’s Southwest region, deep in the heart of the Anglophone crisis. Together with British journalist Gareth Browne, I am being smuggled across the border from southeastern Nigeria into territory few outsiders have witnessed first-hand. Our convoy is small—ten of us in total, eight fighters from the Ambazonia Military Forces (AMF) and the two of us with cameras slung on our backs. The track we follow is barely a walking path, let alone a road for bikes. It winds through ancient jungle, mud, and river crossings under a suffocating canopy. “
This full story will be available in print when we have time to make that happen. Help is not on the way.
Screen grabs from our latest @awaydays.tv doc ‘13 Sector’ about football hooligans in Kazakhstan. We just past 70k views on YouTube, thanks to everyone who’s watched so far. Link in bio if you fancy checking it out.

Ep2 from our series @awaydays.tv is out now! Link in my bio to watch ‘Thirteen Sector’, a film about football hooligan culture in Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan is one of the most unlikely places for football hooliganism to take root. And yet, believe it or not, the scene there is growing rapidly. Born from Aktobe’s “13 Sector”, these crews mix British hooliganism, European ultras culture, and ancient Kazakh tradition to create a unique, fully-formed underground counterculture. Forest fights, street patrols, fanaticism—a new scene thriving 3000 miles away from where it all began.
Away Days got unprecedented access to these hooligans, travelling all the way to Kazakhstan to meet them. We followed the region’s most notorious firm in the lead-up to the biggest derby of the year…
