Streets book, twenty years later

These are just a few images from the book 'Streets' that I shot and published twenty years ago this month. I spent a year shooting and interviewing young homeless people on the streets of london against a white background. I managed to get sponsorship to do an exhibition and publish a book. The project was backed by homelessness charity Shelter and  design was by Sea Design. Due to Government inaction the problems of homelessness for people of all ages and backgrounds have grown even more acute over the last twenty years.

Urdang Academy

The Urdang Academy, the ultimate choice for training in Dance and Musical Theatre, is internationally renowned for its diversity and its cutting edge training by industry professionals.

I was asked to document the academy's young students training and rehearsing. Shot over a period of three weeks, it was a pleasure to record this group of dedicated performers as they were guided by the skilled team of Urdang's teaching staff.

Playboy executives shoot

 Last month I was commissioned by the new Playboy Club in London to shoot its chief executives.The client referenced the hit American TV series Mad Men as the look and feel they wanted and this was achieved by using a combination of the clubs atmospheric lighting mixed with very subtle use of flash.
