New Rollei Website

I'm really excited to share a collaboration I’ve been working on with Rollei. This weekend Rollei launched their new website where you’ll find my work ‘Bloody Chunks’ - The Vietnamese Underground Metal Scene. This body of work was photographed between 2012-14 when I lived in Saigon, Vietnam. Shot using Rollei’s ORTHO 25 Plus medium format film. It's extra special to me as I have been using this film and its earlier incarnation for over 20 years.

In the late 90’s I shared a photography studio in Mount...

Berkshire College of Art campus was on the back lot of Reading Tech College. My sister's old mini was long gone, I was now driving a red Renault 5. It was a 30 minute ride to Reading. I was made up, I had my own wheels and I was studying photography. The BTEC National Diploma in Photography was a practical course. Over the next two years I learned how to work in the photography studio - how to use studio lighting, medium and large format 5x4 cameras. Initially we (photography students) would photograph each other.
