Inspired by the fantastic Magnum In Motion photostories, and the kind of work that people like Mediastorm are doing, lately I’ve been putting a lot of time into creating audioscapes to accompany sets of my images.
The Everyday is my first completed effort – click here to view it. I would love to hear feedback if anybody has any!
This is Hugo – he’s a friend of a friend, who owns a little night spot in Hackney that’s not really a night spot but actually where he lives! He puts on parties and exhibitions from time to time to help pay the rent.
