Here’s a mixed selection of photos from the past few months. I’m forced to stretch the word ‘recent’ again, in this case because 2021 was only eleven weeks long:
This was one of the first shoots I used my new Canon R6, which is a no-excuses piece of equipment. However, it’s not perfect: it stalled twice on this shoot. Apparently a known issue (except to me at the time), it caused no small amount of unprofessional flappery at the time, forcing me to use my backup 5d Mk3. Like riding someone else’s bike, it suddenly felt alien, weird and jarring, and got in the way of everything.
This was for mpb, who buy and sell camera equipment (I use them).
I went to Gail’s bakery to photograph milk supplied by Brades Farm where the cows are fed Mootral, a natural food supplement which reduces methane emissions by 30%.
National Theatre’s Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time opened at the Troubadour Theatre, Wembley. To illustrate this, we shot the scene where Christopher arrives in London, bewildered and unsure. We’ve shot this in recent years at Paddington and at Piccadilly Circus. This time, Toby the rat is played by Biscoff (it may have been his co-star, Oreo, in the photo: I found it hard to tell them apart).
