Everything is going to be alright

A trip to Edinburgh recently; one of my favourite places with some of my favourite people. We wandered in graveyards. accidentally co-ordinated in heathery, autumnal jewel tones, walked along the Waters of Leith and by the sea in St Andrews, I hiked the short, sharp side of Arthur's Seat and breathed deeply at the top.

Jack Rooke: Good Grief

Jack and I met at Bang Said the Gun much earlier this year and got to talking about dead dads and malt loaf. As you do. All of this chat lead to an extreme photoshoot which required me to dangle myself off a balcony over a concrete floor some ten feet below while Jack reclined in a flowery cardboard coffin full of junk food. Once we'd nailed his poster shot (above) and some general portraits we also took the coffin for a little walk outside, much to the surprise and amusement of the good denizens of Shoreditch. 

Jack's gorgeous show Good Grief is opening at the Underbelly in Edinburgh in just a few days time and you'd be an absolute tit to miss it if you're there. RUN AND GET YOUR TICKETS NOW OKAY.

Thanks to Rich Mix for hosting the shoot, to Conor Jatter for the graphic design, and to Soreen for apparently being legends.

Edinburgh I: art and shopping

Princes Street from the hill.

Spoon, a lovely restaurant and cafe.

By far the best purchases of the day.

Edinburgh

Edinburgh is a lovely city, all tall Georgian terraces, broad boulevards and steep hills, meaning that looking down a side street almost always reveals some new pretty view.

Please see previous post on hipster holiday snaps for info on how to take shots just like these.

Posting will return next week with a round-up of recent work for clients, which I've been a bit neglectful of updating.
