Image Man Portraits

I'm really happy with the spread in Image Man, a supplement in the Sunday Business Post last week-end. Thanks to Richard Power for commissioning me and Ingmar Kiang for staying the day to help, interview and coax our subjects along. I hope this may be a regularly commissioned magazine by Image Publications for L'Oréal.

RIP Duffy

Sleep well Duffy, I wanted to shoot like you when I started taking pictures in 1978. To be able to shoot ads and record covers and incredible reportage as well as you was my goal back then.

Jonathan Lovekin Photographer

Eagerly awaited new book from the kitchen table of Yotam Ottolenghi with photographs by Jonathan Lovekin. I can't wait to see the results of this collaboration. I have been talking to Jonathan recently about all things digital and geeky alongside his passion for film. I'll have some answers to a list of questions soon about this and other ideas when Jonathan comes back from a shoot in Dorset with Mr.Greedy himself, Valentine Warner.

Accessories Now Making the 5D really usable.

There is a flood of accessories available for use with the Canon 5D. This is the RedRock Micro DSLR Cinema Bundle. Shown here with optional blue focus gears.

Last Minutes With Odin.

Ciaran found this incredible and very moving short film.
Shot on the Canon 7D, it tells the story of Jason Woods' last moments with his dog before it has to be put down due to illness. I think it's beautifully shot and well edited.

Oliver Comerford at the RHA

Maybe its becuase Oliver Commerford's painting look like the photographs I'd love to have taken but I'm really drawn to the work he has in the RHA at the moment. I wish I'd seen his work before. I'm off to research. There are some similarities in style with Colin Martin, another brilliant artist who's work I'm very fond of. Images copyright Colin Martin and Oliver Commerford. See also RHA site for Colin and Kevin Kavenagh Gallery for Oliver.
