July is the month to celebrate 31 days of German Riesling, and I did my bit by bringing to life the flavours of Riesling. Photographs taken at my home studio for Wines of Germany UK and masterminded by Phipps PR.

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.

Last June I was invited to Shepherds barn to document the annual DJ BBQ vs Hunter Gather Cook for Argento Wines. Located in a peaceful and beautiful barn in Sussex run by Nick Weston, they host foraging, game and fire cookery courses and events.

Photographs and video for a full day of delicious food, wine and fresh air.

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.

Last May I was at The Vinyl Factory to document of the GForce Tasting event. The Wines of Germany trade and consumer tastings are a celebration of the German wine industry. Both were captured with photography and video and here you can watch a selection of images from the day.

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 Cognac Experience, an event hosted by Phipps on behalf of the BNIC (Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac) at East London’s TT Liquor. A food pairing masterclass, a mixology masterclass and over 71 different types of Cognacs to taste.

I was asked to document the event, both with photography and video to capture the mood and the atmosphere during the day. Here a selection of images from the day and the highlights video 📸🎬

Arañazos Pálidos Vol.II

Shot in Fuji 400H and Cinestill 800T at Café Pruckel, during a long afternoon and a quick evening visit.

I recently had the chance to photograph The Nectar Bar and see first hand the process of this South Manchester grower. An incredible working space full of plants, life and creativity. The Nectar Bar’s moto is also great, “Cocktails for Bees. Blooms for You. Growing flowers for pollinators. Selling the surplus to humans. “
If you want a beautiful Christmas wreath or later on in the springtime need some fresh flowers, be one of those humans.

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.

One of my recent commissions is featured on this month’s issue of Cheshire Life Magazine.
