Clive was asked to make a short film bounded by the obvious restrictions that being locked-down brings. Given that he had to remain within the confines of his house and garden, he decided to make it about his work and produce a gentle, meditative piece in order to illustrate his influences and approach to stills […]

[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget] Go to https://vimeo.com/226936895 in order to see a film that has just been released, that I produced, that was directed by Clive Booth and that is about Sir Don McCullin shooting on the streets of Kolkata, India. It is a real chance to see and hear some of Don’s thoughts on photography. Producing this film was […]

If you’ve followed John Offenbach’s work over the years you would have seen numerous photographs of Justin Nicholls. One of the first commissioned pictures John took was Justin’s album cover from 1993 of him standing in his pyjamas knee deep in a soft sea. Since then they have collaborated on numerous occasions for various projects […]

    The RNLI have posted a film about Clive Booth’s Islay project on their Facebook page. Click the link below to watch it. In two days it has had 70k hits. It is good to have been able to have drawn attention to this amazing organisation. After all we live on a relatively small island, surrounded by […]

Being both eloquent and feisty at the same time is a gift. As Harriet proves in this honest, heart felt interview….. Read on:  http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/interviews/tristan_lund_and_harriet_logan_on_collecting_photographs.do

To most people, gun crime is what you see on television and read about in the press. And perhaps  these images by Paul Smith are so fascinating, because it is so alien and yet  so serious, with life changing results, and because details of  a murder by a firearm are a mystery to all of us. […]

Yet again John Offenbach has turned in an exceptional series. This time his hand has created images of such delicacy and definition its almost painful. Simple subject, but beautifully interpreted. No one else could do this. How great would it be to produce an advertising campaign that uses photography of this quality? Imagine a poster […]

Ed James, my most recent signing, has produced a chilling and intriguing body of work entitled “Murder Weapons”. These are still life studies of everyday objects that have been used to commit a murder. I love the way Ed has kept his representation of these often surprisingly mundane objects, simple and uncluttered, thereby keeping the […]

I am really happy to announce that Ed James is back, with me representing him in London. Although he has been shooting for some two decades, he continues to be interested, understand and utilise all the contemporary techniques now available, with the result that he produces work that focuses on his particular brand of still […]

Clive Booth is in the news again. This time it is because a new film has been released on which he worked as the director of photography.

  To all those of you who would love to own a Don McCullin print but cannot afford to do so, and to those of you who just like owning great books on photography, Don has produced a massive tome! It has within its covers, 1,300 pages of print and over 700 images, spread over […]

A news story today is about a 35 year old Russian, requiring rescue off the stormy coast at the south end of Tiree. Which is way North in the Highlands. This is interesting to us because the crew that had the “shout” to go onto these extremely dangerous waters and effect the rescue, were the […]

It all started with a pair of Chelsea boots. Internationally renowned top male model, David Gandy liked his Chelsea boots so much that one thing lead to another and he ended up buying Daniel Preston, the London based shoe designer/manufacturer.  David and Rich have collaborated a lot in the past so it was natural that […]

Life Books have produced a Special Commemorative Edition ‘Bookazine’ to celebrate the TV show Downton Abbey.

John Offenbach has recently shot the newly erected 15th Serpentine Pavilion. Designed by the Selgascano studio which is headed up by José Selgas and Lucía Cano; The Pavilion is an amorphous, double-skinned, polygonal structure consisting of panels of a translucent, multi-coloured fluorine-based polymer (ETFE) woven through and wrapped like webbing.    

            If  you want a complicated shoot it doesn’t get much more involved than this….. The guys at Wieden and Kennedy came up with this concept for a  T.V. commercial (which you have probably seen by now?) and wanted it captured on stills. So off went John to Kiev and up […]

              Clive has spent many months working closely with the people of Islay to produce his wonderful ongoing project ‘Iileachs’.

Clive was sitting in  a cafe in Soho when he noticed Terence Stamp sitting at another table. Ever resourceful, Clive approached him and asked if he could take his portrait. Terence said yes and the following day at 11:00 they met at the cafe and started the session. This is a really good example to illustrate that […]

Great to be invited again to Ogilvy & Mather. Brigette Martin was our host this time. We had a great time and were well received. A three hour drive from West London to the City – yes, three hours but worth it once we were there and saw the reception the guys’ work received. Thanks […]

Rich has worked with Karl Pilkington before, covering the “Idiot Abroad” series. The picture of Karl in the Fez is from that show. He has now just finished shooting pictures for use on the front and back covers on Karl’s new book called “The Moaning Of Life”. Rich obviously has a penchant for collaborating with […]

John has just returned from taking pictures of the landscape in Iceland. I have seen many images of Iceland’s landscapes before (normally, predictably their glaciers and the Geysir), but John has brought back landscapes of utter beauty, that range from having a sense of serenity and stillness, to thunderous pre-historic power and energy. A combination […]

Another mass folio showing to all the creatives, this time at Adam and Eve DDB. A lot turned up for the breakfast showing and a bonus for me was to meet up with Carolyn Henry again after many years – really good to see her again. Also lovely to see Amy Pope (I love her) […]

I love showing all the folios in one go. You get to meet all the creatives and they get to see all the work of all the guys, in one move – makes real sense. Today it was to the good folk at Krow Communications. They have a really smart new room and as always it […]

Clive has been out shooting landscapes of the rural, hilly area around his home in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. It amazes me how great photographers manage to produce images of any subject and yet retain their thumb print on the style. These images are so obviously by Clive. Fashion, beauty, reportage, still-life or landscape, it easy to see […]

A film documenting Don McCullin’s Career, directed by Jacqui Morris, has just been nominated for two BAFTA awards. One for best Documentary and one for Outstanding Debut Director.

John has been busy shooting a series of portraits for a personal series and I have placed some on his page (one is here). I love these as they have a strangely period feel and yet are most definitely very contemporary. They will be in his folio shortly and if you wish to see them […]

Clive has been put onto Canon Camera’s Ambassador programme. This is a privilege given to only a few photographers and which allows him to have a first crack at their new cameras and equipment (often before they are officially released). This means he is aware of what is coming and what is going to be […]
