“How did you manage to illuminate the bodies against the black background with such beautiful light?

I shot the performers on bluescreen, then used motion tracking and stabilization to animate and augment their natural movements.”

“Mr Knopfler’s tribute to the victims of 9/11 based on an article by Ian Mckeown detailing some of the real last words of the victims in texts and phone calls ..” (wiih thanks yet again to Steve Coombs… ) Incredibly moving, impressively held together musically.

Proud Camden = MANCHESTER: SO MUCH TO ANSWER FOR = still open to the public today, Monday 23 rd

See on Scoop.it – London Life

This retrospective of The Smiths from award-winning photographer Kevin Cummins is still open ! I popped in to see it ..better late than never.. it’s a small but perfectly formed exhibition , well worth a look if you are in the area. The Smiths captured in their heyday! And Proud Camden is a great elongated space, stretching itself as it does, through the Stables Market..very chilled! Friendly too.
