The end is nigh.. only six and a half hours until another 48hr project is in the bag.

Quink Tattoo's Matt Howey Nunn & James Lloyd have teamed up with two Kings College of London students to created a response to the key word "empty".

Above is one of my stills from the short film, which was shot in a warehouse in South Bermondsey last night.

The final stages of editing are almost complete. Film upload and results to follow.

These photos are from a shoot with Robert Keeping. Rob is a poet who has recently been scouted by Burberry to model their main line, and he needed some images to send to them prior to their test shoot.

We shot on location at Brent Cross under the rail bridge with the intention to achieve an artistic but urban atmosphere that fitted both Burberry's look and Rob's personal style.

Rob has travelled to cities including New York & Paris before settling in London where his poem "Human Bomb Shell – Reality" has been shortlisted by The Tate.

You can tell by our faces how mental tired we are.

"The Fifth" by Quink Tattoo http://vimeo.com/50479718

This photo is a still from Quink Tattoo's winning short film entry to Rankin's Collabor8te & Raindance 48hr film competition, titled "The Fifth".

Quink Tattoo is an up-and-coming film production company and the brainchild of James Lloyd, Matt Howey Nunn & Rory Langdon-Down. During the film I worked as stills photographer, set designer & general assisant to Matt, the cinematographer. I also helped with colour correction during post.

Making a film from brief to submission in 48 hours was a challenge, but equally enjoyable and fulfilling . Every person involved was key to creating a winning short film. The still above was taken at a ridicluous time of the morning when everyone was too tired to sleep but too close to the end to give up. Please check out the links below for more details..

Lookbook for AW12 collection "Juchitan". Created by Laura Jeans da Silva.

She says, "Juchitan, is one of the most purely indigenous communities in Mexico, and unlike the rest of the country, where men are distinctly dominant, the Juchitan region of Mexico has a matriarchal society where the women ‘are economically, politically, and sexually independent and have been idealized as a source of national strength’ for centuries.

Using the hauntingly beautiful photography series Juchitán de las Mujeres by Graciela Iturbide , which manage to perfectly portray the regions ‘Catholic traditions intertwined with pre-Hispanic rites and superstitions, showing a culture in constant flux’1, this fashion collection aims to explores the unique and powerful, Half Zapotec, half Catholic culture and matriarchal society of Juchitan, and in doing so, capture its contradicting attitudes towards sexuality, ritual, death and the role of woman.

Just as these "big, strong, politicized” women form the back bone of this society, they also form the back bone and initial starting point to the construction of the garments."
