Sarah Raisbeck, 2022
In Spring / Summer 2022 I worked in collaboration with vegan baker, Sarah Raisebeck to produce a recipe book of her best sweet bakes. Alongside food photography, the photographs celebrate Sarah’s natural approach to living and document the landscape and community around her. I also produced videos for a selection of the recipes.
Peace Camp, 2010
A short film about Democracy Village peace-camp, established on Parliament Square in summer 2010. The film explores the passion of the peace protesters living at the camp and the relationships between activists and the homeless community who settled on the square.
The City of Westminster has one of the highest rates of homelessness in the UK and the community spirit of the camp was a draw to many of the local homeless population. By the time Democracy Village was evicted the ratio of people living on the square was 30% activist and 70% homeless. Activists found it an increasing struggle to deal with the subsequent alcohol and drug related problems and violence under the banners of Democracy.
Despite the conflicts, the group managed to find some common ground and occasionally new friendships as they camped together for nearly three months.
Alignments, 2006
A journey along the St Michael Axis through the ancient mythological landscape of Britain. Discovering Hopton, Bury St Edmunds, Royston, Avebury, Glastonbury, Tintagel, Bodmin Moor and Penzance.
Alignments was screened at the Rio Cinema in London as part of a programme of films with the theme of mayday. The series of short films was recommended in the Saturday supplement of the Guardian Newspaper.
Here's a blurb from Rio Cinema:-
“A trip across ancient lines, jaunting quizzically through the English landscape. All stills and sculpted grabbed sound, covering a moulding seaside town, maps, A-roads, men with beards, dowsing rods. Cornish pub music, caves and a lot of rain. You don’t have to be a pagan or a druid to understand that there’s summat glorious in this filthy earth.”
