Grolsch Idents with BTS
After the success of ‘Strange Fruit’ Edmund Curtis and I have joined forces to create Curtis and Kar. Two DOP’s working on the same set!? Who would have thought it possible. But it works. Collaboration is one of the greatest creative tools. Below is our latest video. With the guys over at Fstoppers holding a [...]
“Strange Fruit” Music Video
The photography studio saw its first music video last Friday and I learnt that it is possible to decorate the walls with wallpaper using only camera tape! It was also the first time in 3 years since I had collaborated with fellow DOP Edmund Curtis, see our last short film “Osgood’s” . Shot entirely on [...]

Whilst trying to recreate the light levels by switching off London’s lights may be far fetched, some of our cities monuments will be turning off (or at least dimming) theirs. [...]
Product Photography – Behind the scenes

As the powder was thrown around by the falling make-up brush the colours remind me of photos of distant nebulas in the universe. The gold base that the brushes are falling on [...]
Winter seen through a Canon 5D mrkii.
It was a bitterly cold January morning when London woke up to find everywhere covered in a beautiful layer of fresh fluffy white snow. Having never really tested the HD filming mode on the mrkii I thought this was the perfect opportunity. Covering myself and my camera with water proofs and using mainly a 100mm [...]
