Press Shots for 'Towse', Indie Musician

Press shots captured for an artist called Towse for her new song 'Feels Good'. 

Clearly, the theme was very pink, pop girl, kind of 'grungy'.

We've done a few shoots together now and it's always a pleasure, and heartwarming that Towse trusts us with her imagery!

Press Shots for Hadley Burn, Independent Artist

Hadley, one of our regular clients, needed some new imagery for his new EP project. He had quite a clear idea of what he was looking for, so we headed into a local forest and took some shots in and amongst the morning fog. 

We got super lucky with shooting conditions on the day, and armed with only a battery powered LED light we took some of my favourite ever shots!

Press Shots for Independent Pop Artist

Martha came to us needing visual assets to promote her new song. She's a Croatian artist living in London, so we did one shoot day in Croatia and then another at our studio in Reading. 

Martha loved the final result, and the song far surpassed her other releases! We still work together, and are currently preparing to shoot a release campaign and music video for her next release! 

Press Shots for Independent Artist

Cameron came to us in need of some press shots to keep her social presence and promote upcoming gigs and releases.

We decided to shoot everything inside her house using props and costumes she already had. She ended up using the images across socials and her DSP's, as a library of content that she could pull from if and when needed.

Press Shots for Independent Artist

These press shots were captured to support Munbois project, 'Missed Calls'. The images were shot with the intended uses of his press release, his EPK and posting on socials.

We went with the theme of a classic phone for this shoot. The theme of the project was all about bouncing back from a breakup and embracing the learnings that come along with that. The mask was an added touch from his stylist, to allow him to embrace a faceless character for the release. 

Press Shots for Folk Band

These images were taken for a local folk rock band called 'Who Ate All The Crayons'. They were looking for photos to support their upcoming project and tour materials. 

We decided to go for a nature shoot to support their image and vibe as a band. We were shooting for about two hours around one location in Newbury, and shot plenty of images for use on their website, press kit, platforms and socials.

Press Shots for Independent Artist

Hadley came back to us in need of some press shots for his upcoming release, having worked together for press shots previously. 

He already had the idea in mind, and just needed us to take the photos themselves. Hadley has found many uses for the images, such as his press release, playlist thumbnails and social content!

Press Shots for Independent Rap Artist

Mase came to us right at the start of his journey for music production, marketing materials, press shots and consultancy on his release campaign. 

We shot all of his photo and video assets over two days, included some behind the scenes videos, press shots and promotional videos for socials. Mase loved the experience, and we still work together to this day!

Jacuś "Prezes"

Project "PREZES" is music album of polish raper Jacuś. In this project I was responsible for photoshoot of album cover and promotional photos in terms of creative direction production and performing a shoot. 

The concept of the photoshoot and the album was based on the character of the 'Prezes' (translated as President, Boss, CEO), whom we presented as a nostalgic and jaded man who despite living in relative abundance is immersed in melancholic states.

The album was distributed by Universal Music Polska.

Sobel "Pułapka na Motyle"

Project "Pułapka na Motyle" is music album of polish raper Sobel. In this project I was responsible for photoshoot of album cover and promotional photos in terms of creative direction and performing a shoot. 

Photoshoot conception was strictly conected with main theme of the album. Title means "Cage for Butterflys" and it's reffering to extreme emotions of music artist which he impersonated with butterflys in his head. We wanted to connect human form with animals in various surrealistic forms and put them in mood that perfectly connects with songs.

This project became huge success in polish music industry. Album was awarded with polish representation of IFPI - ZPAV diamond certification. It was distributed by Def Jam Poland and Universal Music Poland.

Space Afrika X Crack Magazine

An artist portfolio for CRACK magazine focused on rising star Space Afrika.

On a huge increase in popularity of the music created by enigmatic duo Space Afrika, we were approached by Joshua Inyang to pull together a full production for CRACK MAGAZINE in just under a week. His motivation for the project was to pay homage to some of his more less documented grime musical influences, whilst maintaining the futuristic, progressive style found within their sound. In anticipation for the release of the duo’s new LP ‘Honest Labour’, an experimental genre-spanning collection of cryptic transmissions, interludes, and asides (Pitchfork, 2021), this feature served as a way for the group to announce their musical identity in a way that much like their music, keeps the audience guessing.

With all of this in mind, we scouted locations around the outskirts of Joshua's home city Manchester, searching for gritty landscapes and disused buildings that we could manipulate and transform into the client's vision. It was decided for the project that we would exclusively use natural light to ensure we did not displace the subject from the surroundings.

The project was shared both in print and online in issue 121 of CRACK Magazine in July, 2021. Due to the boundaries posed by covid, the work was accompanied by photos taken in Berlin off of the other half of Space Afrika by Kurt Heiter. The client also shared the work via numerous instagram posts and used the photos for additional magazine features before and after the LP release.
