Οδυσσέας

Belated (as usual) congrats to my sis & Alex and welcome to my first little nephew, Odysseus! Who joined the world 12 days ago. Can't wait to dress him up in all sorts of animal suits, oh yeah...

Slide Project(or)

Nice to see my image remixed by the talented folk at WeAreYes productions, which will be on show at Photo Ireland festival this year! Love their way of working, taking digital pics and bringing them back to the analogue age using slide projectors!

Check out some more remixed pics here.

Swimming

Last week I headed to London Fields lido to shoot some swimming.

 I wouldn't normally have chosen to shoot sport but it was the theme for a Magnum/IdeasTap brief, and I figured it would be a good challenge to do something different.

I liked the idea of shooting someone who does sport on a regular basis, but is not an athlete. I wasn't looking for bulging muscles and super-human strength, but wanted to show a more typical engagement with exercise. Here are the results:

It didn't win but it was a good exercise in thinking about how I would tackle a brief, then putting a plan into action and comparing the results. If you're interested check out the winning images here.
