I’m thrilled to officially announce the release of my new book ‘Twins’ published by the wonderful Hoxton Mini Press! The book is a collection of my finest portraits from my ‘Alike But Not Alike’ project which were taken over a four year period exploring the similarities, differences and unique relationships between sets of identical twins. The cloth hardback book also features intimate quotes alongside each portrait in addition to an insightful introduction written by twins Ally and Naomi Hewston. There will be a book launch party at the Leica Studio Mayfair on the 4 October which you are all welcome to. In addition to the book launch, Leica will also be hosting an exhibition featuring a selection of portraits from the book which will run until 19 October. My ‘Twins’ project has been the most satisfying photographic project I have worked on to-date and to see all the portraits come to life in this beautifully produced book really is a dream come true. Please place your pre-orders now and make sure to come along to the book launch so that I can thank each of you who kindly took part in the project and who supported me in making this book so very special!

I’m excited and very honoured to have my portrait of the wonderful ‘Silvana’ selected for inclusion in this year’s British Journal of Photography ‘Portrait of Britain’ nationwide exhibition! Described as an exhibition by the people, of the people and for the people, the 100 chosen images, out of almost 8000 entires, will displayed on large JCDecaux digital screens in busy commuter hubs, railway stations, bus stops, airports, high streets and shopping centres across the country from the 1st – 31st September 2017. There are some incredible portraits (by some amazing photographers) selected this year so make sure you check out the full gallery here. I’ll be looking out for ‘Silvana’ on the big screens around London from next Monday but please send me a pic if you see her portrait on display in a town near you, thanks and enjoy the exhibition!

Very pleased to have a small feature on my twins project ‘Alike But Not Alike’ in issue #12 of paper specialist design bible ‘Mowhawk Maker Quarterly’. The themed issue is ‘The Power of Partnership’ which lends itself nicely with one of my favourite images from the series of Orla and Clara who I photographed in London’s Barbican Estate. The magazine itself is a real work of art designed by Hybrid Design using twelve different Mohawk paper stocks allowing an exploration of four color process and match color duotones on white, off-white, coloured and textured papers. In an age where digital is king, it is great to see a quality traditional paper company producing a printed magazine of this standard. Mowhawk Maker Quarterly is a must if you can find it otherwise order a copy online here.

Really pleased to have my twins project ‘Alike But Not Alike’ featured in Esquire Russia this week. The feature includes 15 images from the project plus a small project synopsis. Because the feature is all in Russian I’m hoping it is complementary! If your Russian is up to scratch then check out the feature here.

Chuffed to be exhibiting two of my portraits alongside some wonderful photographers such as Martin Parr, Dougie Wallace, Chris Steele Perkins, Jenny Lewis and many more for the first ‘Photography on a Postcard 2017 Exhibtion’ which has been organized by the Hepatitis C Trust’s fundraising arm ‘Art on a Postcard’. The exhibition will take place at London’s Printspace Gallery from the 13-17 of October. Admission is free and the public will be able to purchase a ticket guaranteeing them a photograph, although they won’t know which postcard they have won until the show closes on 17 October. Each photograph will be an edition of one and will come with a signed certificate of authenticity. A great exhibition and all for a great cause which I am very happy to be part of!
