Recent Published Work

The truth is, with my work syndicated internationally, I don't get to see even a fraction of my photos which are published. Occasionally I get a heads up from a friend or someone in the industry (as happened with the double page spread in Spin magazine below), but it's usually only by looking at my sales reports that I get any idea of what's being used where. And even then it would take a whole lot chasing up of time and effort to get hold of the published piece.
The following cuttings I stumbled across while looking through the UK papers. It's really important as a photographer to look through as many papers and mags as possible to understand how photos are used, which pics they're choosing and why.

Spin magazine (double page spread!)


Coldplay in the London Lite


Girls Aloud in the Evening Standard


Alice Delall topless in the Daily Star (no surprise the Star chose to use this)


Pussycat Dolls in The London Paper

Arise Magazine Usage

I was very pleased to see that at the Africa Rising event they supplied everyone with a free, glossy style and music magazine named 'Arise' containing several of my photos. This was issue one - The Africa Issue - of the magazine, produced by the organizers of the event and documented much of the Africa Rising event as well as featuring leading artists linked with the continent. The people behind it start it as a monthly in January, and given how well it's produced it's one to look for.
Below is the front cover, followed by two of my photos of Jay Z (full page) and Youssou N'Dour (double page spread!), both of which I took at Africa Rising in Washington DC.

Hello! Usage

I had some big usage in Hello! magazine today of Princes William and Harry at the City Parade. One photo was an entire page (top photo) and the other one almost a full page. The fact that I'd managed to get some different shots at a different angle from the rest of the photographers obviously paid off.
