IT'S THE LITTLE DETAILS IN LIFE . . .


I have just spent the past few days on assignment with AdMonsters in Amsterdam. Amongst the speakers, break out sessions, debates and lunch, there was time to spot the little details that happen in life.

OFFICIALS ONLY - PRINTS



The prints are finally done!

Seeing as I chose to shoot the referee series on black & white film, I thought it would be appropriate and respectful to get them printed traditionally. Hand crafted on the classic Ilford Multigrade IV fiber based paper by a guy who printed for the photographers at Magnum, I knew they were going to look great. And they do . . .

Preparations for the exhibition has started to roll a little bit faster . . . please stay tuned.

SESTOSENSO - MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2011







During Salone del Mobile 2011, I was commissioned by Paul Cocksedge Studio who joined forces with BMW and FLOS to create, SESTOSENSO, a celebration of light.

Inspired by the quality and beauty of light and the astonishing new BMW 6 Series, the first BMW with Full-LED headlights, Paul Cocksedge has erected a seamless, curving, white wall extension to the Flos showroom and low-hanging red and white conical lamps. As with the BMW headlights, the source of light remains hidden, only the light itself is guided through a transparent body, rendering the light source invisible and forever changing its qualities. The resultant, intensely soft light caresses, seduces all around.

Stepping inside one of the impressive SESTOSENSO red lights, a video of the BMW 6 Series Coupe reveals itself on the vast white wall. As if accessing a sixth sense, there is a hint of movement in the corner of the eye. Through the light we see the car: through the car, we understand the light.

The playful sculptural pieces softly illuminate, stimulate and allow contemplation. Cocksedge gives us elegant, 'functional brilliance'.
