SECRET SOLSTICE FESTIVAL 2015

When we were asked to travel to shoot Secret Solstice Festival in Iceland I could hardly contain my excitement. I knew we had the chance to push some festival-filmmaking boundaries and include the immense beauty of its surrounding country. Huge thanks to my Entirety Labs team and the festival for giving us no limits on creativity.

HEVY - Wish you were here.

This is the visual lowdown of day 1 - edited and uploaded on site in under an hour. After a 4 year hiatus from shooting hardcore and metal it was time for me to delve back into my youth and return to Port Lymph Animal Park to create the promotional film and photograph HEVY festival.

Friday saw no rest with chaotic shows across all 3 stages, including a jaw dropping set by HACKTIVIST who set the energy levels soaring whilst performing their own take of Niggas in Paris.

The final day ran like clockwork, with a tight shoot schedule in place meant running from stage to stage to capture the chaos.

A ROCK’N’ROLL WEDDING

When one of the UK’s top cosmetic make-up artists and a heavy metal guitarist ask you to film their wedding, the answer wasn’t ever going to be no. Although I wasn’t the main photographer I took a few photos throughout the duration of the beautiful day. Carly and James asked for the film to have a 16mm film look so i’ve also edited the photos to match. It’s unfortunate I’m only limited to uploading 10 shots here, please email me to see more.

SECRET SOLSTICE - ICELAND IT HAS BEGUN

Working with Entirety Labs - we landed in Iceland to first quickly embark on a tour of the South Coast to gather shots of the incredible scenery, helping to show audiences what the country has to offer. 

My colleague Ben and I put this short piece together that same day. It was used as a feature to build hype for our main project - Secret Solstice 2015 - where we would be running and providing all on-site social media as well as the official after movie.

SENT INTO SPACE x SAVOY HOTEL

It was awesome to be handed over such incredible footage to edit, this menu was actually sent outside of our atmosphere. I was asked to not only create the full video promoting the Savoys new menu for the well known Beufort Bar but alsoI to create HUD overlays for the different camera angels.

PORTRAIT PROJECT - GLASTONBURY 2015

I decided to capture people as they explored the festival, shooting on only an old school 1970′s olympus cine-lens adapted to my A7S. I broke the frame at the end with the glass meaning i can use the glass as a focus tiltshift, when it works it can create a massive tilt in the DOF.

HORIZON FESTIVAL 2015 OFFICIAL ALBUM

While filming for Horizon Festival I was asked to create a photography album for both a social media gallery and to also help promote forthcoming years.

It was great to bring both my experience in shooting on the mountains and events and parties together. It was fair to say was in my element during this festival. This is truly what I love to do.

HORIZON FESTIVAL 2015 - BURST HIGHLIGHTS

After creating a successful run of videos for Outlook Festival in 2014 I was commissioned to travel to Bulgaria to create social media videos for both facebook and instagram.

This is the final highlights film from my week.

Thanks to BC Films (Ben Crocker) for the assist.
