design junction pics







design junction was almost a month ago now.

i think i showed you a few pics here from the sock club london stand,
but let me go through my blog folder and see if i have any other pics
kicking around from design junction.



i had to do a group shot of some designers early one morning.
this is one of the shots i took when i was setting up.










another version where somebody pushed a rubbish skip through the background while
i was trying to pose like a designer.










what's the collective noun for a load of designers ?
a collection ?










i've no idea who these three lads are but after the group pic they asked if i would take a photo of them as they were old friends or some such.

they asked if i could send the pic to them and i said yes, gave them my card and asked
them to email me and i'd send it.

did they email me ?

no.

so lads... if you want a hi-res of this pic just email me.










i had to shoot a portrait of a couple of chefs at design junction one morning.
this was my first frame










moving in a little and getting that table out of the way










chefs posing like bosses.

excellent !










of course before i did the portraits of the chefs i had my assistant stand in
may i draw your attention to somebody skulking about on the right hand side...
in the kitchen...










and as surely as night follows day
me and my assistant... and the chef.










at design junction i met some complete strokers,
but i did also meet some absolutely lovely people.

these two from the emerald isle were maybe the nicest people i met all week.









in the modus room at design junction i really fancied having my photo taken against this big circular pattern.
one of the girls from modus decided i couldn't have a solo shot there.










then her mate chipped in too.










i'm pretty sure this girl hated me









this lady was late for the designer's group photo so i had to photograph 
her by herself.
i had no idea who she was until after she'd gone.
turns out she designs a load of stuff i really like.

plus my mum has written to her and she replied.
( don't ask )










a great bloke i met at the coffee shop in design junction










the chap from waterford doing his thing.
genius !










and finally. this mirror / light attracted phone cameras like moths to the flame.


design junction was an interesting event. if you didn't visit, i strongly recommend you
do next year. it's an amazing thing. well worth seeing.









ouch !









i did a shoot for tallulah lingerie the other week.

they have some great stuff.

i wouldn't recommend running a 10k in these though.






the italian job








i did a shoot last friday with an italian assistant.

she kept asking me to speak a little more slowly
( or should it be less quickly ? )

but aside from the language barrier we had a grand old time.
here she is standing in for paddington bear
( don't ask )










and here she is standing in for a larger than life irishman.
( don't ask )










we were not impressed with the chef's sausage game.










but we couldn't argue with his take on toffee apples.






hypebeast feature on sock club london x globetrotter sock case









a few weeks ago hypebeast did a little feature on sock club london.

here are the three photos they published


























have a looky at the feature here:












another decent bit of publicity came via freshness mag
















water and socks







a few weeks ago i was given a whole load of bottled water.

the only thing the water company asked was that i send them some photos of their water
alongside something sock club london related.

these are the photos i sent to them.





































n7 has never been so hydrated.
