You might say I am not a pure music photographer...
|
| |
I
am equally concerned with social documentary and reportage, and in
the history of London, though it is not my home town and I no longer
live there; and a lot of my work takes me to South America and France
and Spain! I don't have an intimate knowledge of music. My knowledge
base is photography and film. |

I
remember a shoot on a boat in the River Thames. My client was the
Rastafarian, reggae "prophet" Sizzla (aka Miguel Collins).
It was very disturbing. There were no greetings. He just launched
into a long ranting monologue about what it was to be him and a Rastafarian.
It was difficult to understand. I simply sat there and took photographs.
I had to treat him as an actor and shot as if it were a film shoot.
It was important to establish him in a context that I could relate
to.
