Featured shoot: Dizraeli's new album
OK, I know, I don't often do projects that aren't pure documentary shots.
...But I've been a fan of Dizraeli for too long to remember really, and I really relate to what he says in his lyrics.
In fact, what he commits to CD, I try and commit to film... or something like that.
So it seemed too good an opportunity to miss.
For those of you who don't know Dizraeli, he's an urban poet/ wordsmith/ rhyme splurger of the very highest order, who also does a nice sideline in co-writing mind-mashingly wicked plays- such as the 'Rebel Cell' (recently playing to packed houses at the Edinburgh festival). To see his site, download the single etc, CLICK HERE.
Most of these were really not planned at all. We went to some of the places that inspired his songs. I asked him to write some rhymes about the day, and the places we were going, and shot the results, telling him to stop if the light was good, or if there was somewhere unusual to sit for a bit.

The aim was to include as much of chaotic, ambient, tunnel-vision life in London as possible- random commuters included! Any feedback about these muchly appreciated.
