Studio Floor is the collaboration between Christopher McEvoy and Siobhan McKenna exploring couture-making and craft techniques in waste reduction. I was asked to produce a short film to accompany the project and the truly stunning exhibition that goes along with it (currently running at The Pyramid in Anderston till Saturday 29 April 2023 - should definitely check it out). The shoot took place in late March in the Trades Hall of Glasgow in Merchant City. Have a look at the video below:

I love Barbra Kolasinski’s work and was delighted to be asked to photograph her new collection “Guest”. I don't shoot a lot of fashion for a variety of reasons (lack of budgets, unpleasant individuals, etc). Still, I’m super happy when the right opportunity with the right people presents itself. For this project, Barbra put together an absolutely stellar team of not only talented but also genuinely nice creatives (check credits below).

We shot this collection at The Pyramid, a brilliantly bonkers, Brutalist, B-listed building in the middle of Anderston which now serves as a community centre. Despite many people involved and a variety of clothes and looks to get through, the whole thing went super smoothly and was actually a lot of fun. Long hours and cold be damned if you’ve got a great team you’re working with! Barbra wanted something weird and not traditionally “pretty” - thus weird poses, setups and ambiguity. This turned out to be probably the biggest editorial I’ve done so far and I couldn’t be happier. Check it out below:
