Clips from an old but incredible project. Hiking through the Markha Valley in the Indian Himalayas, camping out, and documenting as we climbed up to 6250m on Kang Yatse. Ladakh is a special place.

Inside the Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage for .co winter 26.

Ffern’s winter 26 campaign was a really special project to be involved in and to shoot these vignettes alongside the campaign film, on my day off from playing a merman, was great fun.

Twenty years after *Seed* was first commissioned by The Eden Project, Peter Randall-Page produced a limited-edition of 30 castings of this iconic sculpture, made from Cornish tin foraged from the sea at Blue Hills Tin, Trevellas Porth.

I visited Peter’s studio and with the brilliant to shoot this short doc for the .

Angus () wanted some unique angles of *Seed* and suggested I fly a drone in the tight space where the huge granite sculpture lives. It sounded pretty sketchy so I set up an obstacle course in my flat and practiced flying my drone through small gaps until I felt comfortable. It worked out. Only my drone was at risk.

The journey continues 🐎 We screened El Rocío - The Faith and the Feeling, in London to a wonderful group of friends and creative legends before Christmas. Thank you to everyone who came, it was a blast.

In June 2024, and I joined a pilgrimage that takes place in Andalusia. Our aim was to create a short film and series of photographs that capture the colour, the emotion, and the devotion of the immaculately dressed pilgrims that take on the arduous journey to El RocĂ­o each year.

Here’s some stills from the screening at the and some from our week long shoot in Spain. This project was unreal, I’m very excited to see where it ends up and to see how it does as we begin to enter some festivals.
