Got a new phone with a rather decent camera. The flash isn't brilliant so I'm avoiding using it. Here are some quick snaps around Herne Hill using a black and white setting.

"Pushing Fashion Boundaries in an Era Without Any"

Model Rick Genest is the main feature in the new Thierry Mugler campaign. Otherwise known as Zombie Boy, Rick is best known for his detailed skeletal body art then his portfolio. His reason for the body art is a love for horror movies and fascination with the decomposition of the human body. He is one of a few models found through Cathy Horyns "Pushing Fashion Boundaries in an Era Without Any" along with transsexual model Lea T, androgynous model Andrej Pejic, and albino model Stephen Thompson pictured below (left to right). Is the fashion world opening up its doors for those who are usually the outcasts in the competitive industry? Or is this just a circus like display of the odd for us all to marvel at? I do hope it is not the latter.

Larry Clarke - Tulsa

Tulsa is a portfolio of black and white photographs by Larry Clarke. The photos show his young friends in the 1970s from the subcultures of punk rock, surfing and skateboarding and was controversial for showing the casual drug use, underage sex and violence that they engage in. He is best known for this work and the movie Kids.

Ethans Party

House parties are the best places to get some good snaps. Especially when everyone's all dressed up.

Riot Grrl : Still Relevant 20 Years On

My Claim to Fame..

Finally the photo from the shoot I assisted on has been released! It was taken by Mario Sorrenti for the Liu Jo Jeans campaign. It was probably one of the best days of my life being on this shoot, the New York team were all so friendly and welcoming and it had a surprisigly chilled out feel about it! Can't lie the clothes are a tad tacky but who cares I got to see Kate Moss in the flesh (I now get what all the fuss is about, she is b-e-a-u-tiful), get a real feel of what i want to do in the future and meet one of the best fashion photographers around at the moment!

THOSE KIDS WERE TOUGH AS NAILS

Soo much love for this video. A guy i met on a shoot worked on it and it's celebrating the 50 year anniversary of Doc Martens.

Black House - Colin Jones

Mum got me this book from her anniversary getaway. It's an amazing collection of photo's by Colin Jones where he documented the lives of the people who lived in the Harambee Project, a hostel for troubled black youth during the 1970's otherwise known as 'The Black House'. It is a very interesting book and has got me thinking about a project for the future. I've got a few of those hipster squatters living a couple of doors down and think it would be interesting to document the new generation of squatters in a similar way to Colin Jones. I just need to grow the guts to ask them!
