Barcelona - Arrival & Exploring

Our first day in Barcelona we spent easing ourself into holiday mode. Our apartment, was less than five minutes from the main strip of shops and a great selection of great restaurants and cafe's. We took a stroll up Passeig de Gracia and saw Casa Batllo, which made us very intrigued to go back for our tour (post here). We lunched in El Raval, sipping on coffees and watching the world go by. Of course, our first evening called for plenty of tapas, a cold beer followed by a late night stroll down Las Ramblas to see what all of the fuss was about.

Lots more Barcelona posts to come - so keep your eyes pealed!

Dunya - Dearest Deer

After Dunya from 'Dearest Deer' got in touch with me over twitter, I couldn't wait to organise a shoot. We met in East London, where we spent a sunny afternoon wandering around the cobbled side streets and shot this collection of photos. I'm looking forward to working with Dunya again in the fall and hopefully for many more shoots to come. If you haven't checked out Dunya's blog before, I really recommend you do, you won't be disappointed.

My time at Rankin

Interning at 'Rankin' for three months, was one hell of a journey! Meeting the most incredible and talented people. I met the most incredible and talented people, and got to work on such a variety of shoots and videos it was pretty insane! I worked on Hunger Issue 4, ranging from 3 cover shoots, to fashion editorials and music videos. I also worked on Rankin's 'Alive; In the face of death' project a collaboration with BBC Scotland and aired on BBC Two 'Culture Show Special' on Sat 10th of July. From set building and painting, to setting up and organising the studio for shoots, prop buying and not forgetting working alongside the super-chef Noel. I certainly had a full round experience at the studio. An boy did I have a mighty send off, so a big thank you to the team at Rankin and the man himself for such an incredible and priceless experience!

An last but not least, the extremely lovely and talented Trish took my portrait whilst testing for a Hunger shoot and its been uploaded to 'crew' section of  Rankin's site.

You should all take a look at the assistants, digital technicians and set designers work, there all ridiculously talented and I'm so pleased I got the chance to work with them.
