Guardian Front Page!

I'm delighted to have got the front page of The Guardian today!
It's a photo of La Roux, I took about 10 days ago at the Roundhouse in Camden and was used in conjunction with her being nominated for the Mercury Music Prize along with a host of other female artists.
It was used pretty big and included a byline. Brilliant!

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

The Observer Usage

The Observer review section used my photo of the amazing Florence & The Machine today, tipping her for big success in 2009. I totally agree.

The Times usage

My photo of Carla Bruni and the Duchess of Cornwall from the remembrance service was used by The Times today.

The Times Usage

One of my photos of Neil Young from Sunday was used in The Times today in their review of the Hop Farm Festival. They had good feed back for Young's peformance.

Guardian Usage

I was pleased to see The Guardian ran one of my Gutter Twins photos today, despite the grainy, dark light. It was the only landscape photo I filled, but obviously fitted their requirements as the lead music review.
