Rajasthan

In march I travelled to Rajasthan to shoot some of its magical cities.I timed the trip to coincide with the festival of Holi, a  religious spring festival celebrated by Hindus. Masses of people partake in the fun by throwing colored powder and water at each other. I was also lucky enough to be in Jaipur for the elephant festival.

 

Sad news from Marrakech

Last Thursday I was shocked to hear that  a terrorist bomb had killed 13 people in the Café Argana in Marrakech. I was on assignment shooting a travel story in the city two weeks ago and had coffee in café Argana every day during my stay. My thoughts have been with both travelers and locals affected by this terrible event.

Made by Survivors

 Last Friday I worked with my mate  Susie Coulthard and a bunch of other good souls on a shoot for the charity Made by Survivors. Susie is a hugely talented stylist involved in raising funds to help victims of sex trafficking in India. We set up a portable studio in Hackney’s London Fields and cajoled and teased one hundred people to model a t shirt designed by Susie to raise funds for the charity. These are early days in the project so I will post more news as things develop. Special thanks to Shaima el Nour  and David George for their amazing help in setting up and co-ordinating the shoot on the day. Also big thanks to Calumet and the Pro Centre for their help with lighting. Here are a small selection from the one hundred images I shot on Friday.

Two portraits

It was a lovely sunny weekend just passed in london and the light was perfect for these two portraits.
