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.

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.

One of my photographs is amongst the winners of the “Wine Moments” mission organised by EyeEm for Schluck Magazine.

Schluck is a biannual publication about people and their stories with, for and through wine.

It is carefully and beautifully edited and a pleasure appearing on the pages of their Glamour edition.  Also really happy when a surprise copy appeared on the mail, thanks to the Schluck team.

Prost!

This year I went to León to document the most traditional carnival, but I also took the opportunity for a night time photo shoot.

Some sources of inspiration: Hugo Ball, Sonia Delaunay, Varvara Stepanova, Kiki de Montparnasse, Elizabethan ruffles and the joy of dressing up to replace our every day mask with another persona.
