Puglia

My sister has lived in the Puglia region of Italy for most of her adult life. This week, as the Italian government eases it’s lockdown restrictions, she can leave her home for the first time in two months. It’s also her birthday, so I thought it would be nice to show some photography from her adoptive home. Happy birthday Lynn Carrig x Ciao bella x

ALL at SEA

All At Sea is how so many of us are feeling at this critical time in our history. But this editorial was created to highlight another great threat to our world, the deluge of discarded plastics that are choking and poisoning our oceans.

“I became attracted to the man made flotsam + jetsam : seaworn metal + brightly coloured plastics… there was so much of it that if the mood took me I could choose objects by theme or colour.”

“The quantity of plastic I have collected from my local beach serves as a reminder of the terrible damage we are doing to the environment. It is our collective responsibility to reuse & recycle”

Through a glass darkly

I photographed Claudia Raba from a distance of two metres and through glass, but this was back in January, pre-lockdown and before government restrictions on social distancing. On reflection, this story now takes on new meaning. It also demonstrates that as photographers/creatives we will be able to draw upon our inventiveness to help us adapt to different ways of working when we finally emerge into the new normal.

Bank Holiday

Last Easter I began creating a series of photography projects on the Dymchurch Sea Wall – documenting the beach it fronts, the low-lying land it protects, and how both locals and visitors use and respond to the wall. This Easter, with so much having changed in the world, it feels timely to start sharing some of this work. Here are a few selects from Bank Holiday.

On This Line That Divides

Dymchurch Wall has been a vital sea defence on the Kent coast since it was first established by the Romans. It’s current construction connects pale concrete walkways with art deco influenced design; four miles of wall straddle flat marshland and vast sands, and a big sky gives an exquisite quality of light. The surrealist artist Paul Nash made many paintings of the wall most famously The Shore, and the actor and novelist Russell Thorndike based his Dr.Syn stories here at Dymchurch-under-the-Wall. More recently a Banksy rat has appeared surfing the wall’s concrete curves.

As a photographer I am also inspired.

Last Easter I began photographing my own response to the wall, documenting the beach it fronts, the low-lying land it protects, and the people that are drawn there. This Easter, with so much changed in the world, it feels timely to revisit this project.

“Serve God, honour the King, but first maintain the Wall”

The Road To Wellville | 2

Respecting current government regulations I now walk to my Mother’s house everyday; a journey along familiar roads I have driven a thousand times and more, and which I am seeing for the first time. Here are some more pictures from The Road To Wellville #stayhome #protectthenhs #savelives

I’ll be out on the pavement again this evening, making some noise in appreciation of ALL the brave keyworkers working hard in difficult circumstances to keep us safe.

Creature Comforts

I think you can tell how happy I am to be on set with this gorgeous creature. I am talking of course about Maddison the Dulux Dog photographed here (pre-Covid) with Dulux’s ambassador, the equally gorgeous Fearne Cotton. Dogs can be the most calming and gentle of creatures and I would love to include one on all my photoshoots. Meanwhile locked down at home in London I am hugely grateful for the company of our own four-legged friend who helps banish anxiety and brings us joy in these troubled times.

Fearne Cotton for Dulux 'Colour Of The Year' campaign 2020
Massive thanks to ALL the teams on set, with special mention to :

TALENT - Fearne Cotton and Maddison the Dulux dog, with handler Ellen
Art Director - Duncan Squires
Wardrobe Stylist - Sinead McKeefry
Hair Artist - Paul Perkins
Makeup Artist - Justine Jenkins
Set Stylist - Melinda Ashton-Turner
Digital Operator - Gemma Gravett
Lighting Assistants - Mark Griffiths + Renata Rodrigues

I hope you all keep safe until we meet again.

Clap for Carers

#clapforcarers I will be on my doorstep tonight at 8pm this evening, and every Thursday evening, showing support and solidarity for all the brave key workers who care for us and are ensuring our world can keep turning during the coronavirus pandemic.

I am missing the teams that I work with, the small families of creatives that come together for a day, or days or sometimes weeks on end. The camaraderie that exists in the studio and on location where new photography is created and friendships are forged.
