Stop motion animation has been part of my creative process for more than ten years. On this project I use my photographs as a starting point, I set it all up, start without a plan and pack it all up on the same day, which means each animation is started and finished within several hours. As a photographer and videographer with a background in painting and drawing I have always been interested in the boundaries of each medium and the different possibilities when combined.

You can watch four of my hand painted animations below and a short video tutorial showing the process behind the animations.

This project is a collaboration with the musician Matthew Hammond, whose music is featured in all the videos.

Commissioned photography for Penguin Random House featured in Daisy Upton’s book, “Five Minute Mum”.

It was a pleasure to document Daisy, Ewan and Florence playing some of the games featured in the book. Just published (February 2020), about half of the photographs in the book are by me and the other half by Daisy herself. Below are some of my favourites.

    A recent project I photographed for CJCT in South West London. The re-development incorporates a locally listed retained façade from the 1920’s which I loved.

    All photos were shot and edited by me. More information about the project on CJCT’s website

    I went to the Purple Weekend 2012 with a Holga to document some of what was going on there. This photo is from that series, taken on 120 mm film with the inexpensive plastic camera. For those who may not know, the festival was born as a mod/sixties weekender in the Spanish city of León and it has become something much bigger with the years.

    The photo can be seen as part of the exhibitions programme of the Purple Weekend, quadruplicated and manipulated in a collaborative project with Eva López Campesino. “Purplephenia (I’ve had enough)” is now open at the Ateneo Cultural el Albéitar until 20th December.

    My first time attending the festival was the year 2000 and though this time I won’t be able to attend I feel very happy my image will be there.

    Looking back at a busy springtime. Here a selection of images from Rioja’s rebranding event at the beautiful Rumpus Room in The Mondrian Hotel. The artist Carlos Corres has created a series of work with different types of wine as his main medium and you can also see him in the video further down. Both photography and video were used to document the evening. Salud!

    The summer and the festival season have been good to Ostras!

    I was asked to document the Rioja Bar and its Summer Sessions in a couple of great festivals, Citadel Festival in London and Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire.

    Photography and video were both used to capture masterclasses by Rob Buckhaven and Jane Parkinson, delicious jamón ibérico by Bar Tozino and a wide range of red, white and rosé all the way from Rioja. Below you can see some of my favourite stills and soon I will be sharing the videos I made.
