My directing debut
Earlier this year I directed a video for Italian artist/producer Danny Darko.
The video was mostly filmed in the Parkland Walk (an abandoned railtrack that used to link Finsbury Park to Alexandria Palace, now a nature reserve.) Disused empty platforms, tunnels that lead to nowhere, and the sub-zero weather provided inspiration for the narrative and created the ideal location for shooting.

Fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast
Early in the morning, the tide starts to recede, leaving behind "fresh" fossils |
Fossil hunters start combing the beach. |
A good place to look is where the mud flows out of the "porridge" |
Fragments of Ammonites are a common find |
The best Ammonites are still within the rock. These will be taken back to the workshop and extracted |
Some people have been doing this professionally for 20+ years. |
All heads are down. Sharp eyes are needed to spot fossils amongst the pebbles. |
The Jurassic coast is famously erratic. Rock falls are a constant danger. |
As the tide starts to encroach, a fossil hunter heads back with the findings of the day |
