interiors and memories










i think that this year i should try to show more photos that i take
for a living rather than just photos of my coffees and trainers.

i shoot a lot of interiors. mainly restaurants.
so over the next few weeks i'm going to publish some restaurant interiors
 and accompany them with any memories i have from the shoots.

naturally my memories will mainly consist of recollecting if they
made me a coffee or not, but you never know... i may remember other things.


1
the chef at this place is a genius.
also this is one of the few restaurants where i've actually eaten.

unfortunately i wasn't allowed to do any really wide shots here as the interior
wasn't quite finished but i hope you get a feel for it from this.








2
this place was full of really nice friendly people...
but they didn't make me a coffee.

luckily enough one of the best coffee shops in london is just opposite.








3
south london.
no coffee.








4
i think this place got a bad review.
i photographed it the day after i got back from italy.
all the staff were italian except the manager was spanish.
they didn't offer me a coffee and the area is a coffee black-spot.








5
i like the look of this place,
it's right next door to the first photo in this post by the way.
there's a really great coffee shop about two minutes away.








6
i liked this place.
they fed me burger and chips and gave me a coffee.
the manager was from wales.
the barman was that rarest of men. he was australian but he never 
once said to me how much better everything is in australia.








7
this was in york. i do like  a road trip.
the first thing the manager said to me was
"do you want a coffee our kid ?"
standard.








8
no coffee for me here.
over the years i reckon i've photographed this place 6 times.








9
i travelled by bus to this place ( no.43 )
they gave me a very nice coffee.
i remember it being really hot here too.








10
this was in what i call 'the sticks'
i ate here afterwards. curried scallops for starter.
oh and they gave me a coffee before the shoot.
i went on a little walk afterwards and saw a field full of turkeys
( it was late november )








11
it's daaaarrrk.
i think this was vietnamese but all the staff were eastern european.
they made me a coffee which i accepted even though i'd just met the 
boss for a coffee in soho 30 minutes previously.
oh and it rained on me when i left this place.








12
it's daaaarrrk
they were having teething problems with the lights.
this shoot was a nightmare but the chef here is a top bloke.








13
what do i remember about this shoot ?
it was a nice room.
they didn't offer me a coffee.
the p.r. girl had really nice coloured hair.




more of my riveting memories from restaurant shoots to come soon.
