It was an absolute privilege to photograph Dame Judi Dench. An experience that felt truly special. Not only was I working with a legend of stage and screen, but I also had the chance to shoot inside the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse for the first time, which made it all the more memorable.

Really difficult location. No natural light Or conventional artificial light. But a ton CANDLES. So much fun lighting this one.

Judi was everything you’d hope for: razor-sharp, brilliantly funny, and full of warmth. A complete joy to spend time with a true icon.

A very different rite of passage. 🔥
I got the opportunity to photograph a really incredible event down in Devon. People of Ottery St. Mary run through the streets of the town with burning tar barrels on their shoulders. A unique way of celebrating the 5th of November.

I was amazed by all the young people getting involved. This tradition has become something of a rite of passage.
If you get the chance, get yourself down there next year. A really special night. A little scary, but a lot of laughs too.
Beard and eyebrows are intact. Minor neck burn 🤙🏽

Following the immense Grand Sumo tournament in London, I thought I’d share a project I’m really proud of. A personal projects shot a few years ago in Japan.

Female Sumo

Physically demanding and tactically straining, sumo is a nuanced and exciting sport. 
In the world of sumo wrestling, male sumo wrestlers are held in the highest regard, akin to rockstars or Hollywood actors.
Female sumo is gaining more coverage with more women taking part in the sport than ever.

Some of biggest experiences of my career have been shooting in a pumistone desert in Argentina or on an Icelake in the Arctic circle, Mountains roads in Europe and beaches in the Caribbean. BUT let’s shoot closer to home sometimes.

This year I’ve been lucky to travel a lot for work and I’m massively grateful to the clients who have trusted me with projects across the globe.

But with that comes the creeping guilt of a carbon footprint that is definitely not small. So lately I’ve been encouraging productions closer to home. South London has become my favourite answer when the budget doesn’t quite stretch to sending a production to sunny climes. Obviously the locations are not as extreme BUT when the sun god Raa blesses us with the right weather it is an absolute dream to shoot here.

Please do not stop sending me to far flung places, but there is something brilliant about reinvesting some of that energy and budget into the communities right on our doorstep.

Spent a day in the studio shooting spoken word artist . Alex Masika-Ferguson is a multidisciplinary artist based in South London, with roots in Uganda and Jamaica. His practice moves fluidly between photography, filmmaking, music, and poetry each medium feeding into the other to create work that is raw, intimate, and deeply reflective of his upbringing and cultural identity.

A real renaissance guy.
