The ever fantastic Supersonic Festival 2015.
Supersonic is an internationally renowned experimental music and arts festival hosted in Digbeth, Birmingham. This year it featured artists such as Holly Herndon, Six Organs of Admittance, Eternal Tapestry and Circuits des Yeux.
The debut albums from New Alaska and Opium Lord both featuring my pictures from Iceland.
Film swap with fellow Birmingham photographer Holly Jade. Some real beauties on this roll - Holly's portraits are gorgeous.
My second film swap with one of my favourite photographers La Fille Renne
I shot the textures and landscapes, rewound the film and posted to France where La Fille Renne took these intimate, ethereal portraits.
I spent this weekend learning wet plate collodion at the Double Negative Darkroom in Hackney.
Taught by John Brewer, we learned how to create ambrotypes and tintypes pretty much from scratch, shoot them on large format cameras, develop and finish off with varnish.
The results were spectacular – the incredibly fine focus and depth of field, the ‘imperfections’ and tones and the sheer intensity you get from having someone stare at the camera for 11 seconds.
I learned so much in two days from John and the Double Negative team and met a great group of photographers. I would really recommend the course for anyone hoping to get practical and lasting knowledge of the wet plate process.
The portraits of me were taken by John Brewer and Edward Draper.
