Burn My Eye exhibition & London

This was my second day working with the London Festival of Photography and my first day in London alone. Despite only have gone on the underground once alone, I didn’t get lost! Typically, it rained all day.

The Only Connect Theatre in London where the exhibition was held.

 My LFPH t-shirt.

 Ana Soubhia, the lovely girl I worked with. I liked her hair, so she let me photograph it.

A beautiful piano I found downstairs.

One of the photographs that caught my eye, by Charlie Kirk, in Tokyo Japan 2011.

An amazing market I found.

A Gramophone, something that I’ve always wanted to own.

 The Lomography store.

I also went to a number of book stores, galleries/exhibitions but unfortunately I was unable to take photographs there.

Simon Roberts exhibition ‘Let This Be a Sign’

A few weeks ago I worked in London at the Simon Roberts ‘Let This Be a Sign’ exhibition for the London Festival of Photography. There’s loads of information about the exhibition, opening dates, times etc on their website. Here’s some photographs from the day…

#Photography (Published again!)

A big thankyou to Daisy Ware-Jarrett and Genea Bailey, the girls behind the online magazine #PHOTOGRAPHY, who published my work! The magazine looks really great. Have a look for yourself. View my work by clicking this link (Pages 12 – 15).

David Bailey at the V&A

David Bailey.

David Bailey, one of the most famous commercial photographers in the world, was interviewed by critic, writer, art historian and broadcaster Tim Marlow. I was lucky enough to be there.
During the interview at the V&A, Bailey was completely open and to-the-point, with a few swear words thrown in. He wasn’t afraid to say exactly what he thought, on a stage, in front of a few 100 strangers. He spoke about photography, art, Photoshop and his personal relationships. At points he seemed more of a comedian than a photographer.
One thing I remember he said was that he talks directly to the subject, not looking though the view finder, to create a connection between the photographer and subject; something that I have been told time and time again by my tutor, but having Bailey also say this enforced that I should do this more often.
