Portfolio Re-design Fall 2010


Because of having a little free time to myself, it was time for me to sit down and re-organise my portfolio which meant getting in the studio and re-shooting my work and then editing images and a few hours of photoshop and indesign. I’m almost there in the hope of taking to some interviews soon.


The top photo is an extract of Fidelity book, the middle is a pile of ‘scumbag” totes and the bottom is a screen printed poster from the fidelity speed dating night, all from my final major project which ended in June.

A week and a bit of some of the best time working I have ever had.
My placement was at The Mangle studio in East London working helping out with the printing process of shirts

1.0 | FIDELITY The Getting It Together Issue

The Final "Fidelity" Book read by Scott Humphries, who features on the front cover as part of the book's study on his and his girlfriends relationship, Both were pleased with the outcome but felt a bit scared about seeing A1 Posters of themselves in the Degree Show on Friday.

A special thank you to Yourprintsolution for helping me achieve and print everything - Steve you diamond.


Fanzine - What my brand is all about - FILTH!

Thank-you to Sara, Gareth, Simon & Tom for all their help.

Speed date Night 17/05/10

Fidelity|6.0 Speed Dating

Because of this issue dealing with the issues of people getting together as described by the couples who have made it successfully into a relationship, a further study of this area could be conducted by creating an relationship based event where the documentation of what works and what doesn’t is documented. In this case speed dating seems the logical choice to get single people together and allow them to interact with each other in a controlled environment to see if this allows people to meet potential partners. Organisation of a speed dating night involves gaining access to a venue, single people and basic materials in order to make the night work. In this case the Bucks New University student union was booked up for 17th May because of its access to tables, space a bar and music.

Flyers and posters were distributed accordingly.




Please & Thankyou Book - It looks a lot better on film
Georgie's hands, My Canon A1

I wanted to re-shoot the book in order to add to my PDF portfolio to send out to various people.
I hope it makes the book look a better with the combination of the rustic uncoated paper it's printed on.

My Skinhead Week 15-19 Feb

Taking inspiration from Gavin Watson's amazing documentation and photography combined
with the realisation of High Wycombe's Skinhead History through talking to Mark Goddard,
I have decided to recreate the stereotypical skinhead look around Wycombe using Fred Perry shirts.
They are part of my current project about Fred Perry's subcultural history.
These are just shot with a 400D and then slightly adjusted in Photoshop.
I'm waiting on my Ilford Films to be developed.

Thank you to Sära Groborz, Ryan Moore and Morgan Dalzell. x x

American Apparel Photography Day 09/02/10

I went around the branches to go and capture the workers of American Apparel.
I always get super nervous asking to take pictures, but everyone was really helpful,
apart from that branch on High Street Kensington. I won't go there again.
I still have my films to be developed but these are my digital backup.

Thank you to everybody that helped. x x

Dissertation Hand- in

I thought it would be nice to finish it on a high by screen-printing
a poster based on what i did for most of the time i worked on my essay with
Didot combined with the Black Flag logo and a footnote.
Well it's true. With a hint of salmon.

I kind of tore the screen after that, oh dear.
