‘I Dare the Wave, A Life to Save’ released by MiniClick

Posted on 13th Jul 2014 by lomokev

In June 2014 MiniClick published 5 photo publications including ‘I Dare the Wave, A Life to Save’ which showcases a collection of photographs by me based around one of the more eccentric members of Brighton swimming club: Dave Sawyers. Originally they just wanted to publish a set of pictures of Brighton Swimming Club. The Club is the oldest swimming club in the world with continuous membership and which I’ve been documenting since 2003. Early during their edit MiniClick realised that there was such a wealth of images that it was going to be tricky to edit it down so they decided to focus on one club member in particular.

Montage Portraits featured in Hungry Eye

Posted on 10th Jul 2014 by lomokev

My montage portraits are currently featured in the new issue of Hungry Eye (Issue 3 Volume 2). Last year PhotoAnton interviewed and filmed me shooting some of my montage portraits for his new documentary film series Analogue Tribes (which you can see here). He has now turned our discussion into an article. Hungry Eye is a quarterly magazine so it will be available until September 2014; look out for it in all good newsagents.

I will be shooting for two years from now till July 2016!
