Over the years I have worked really closely with the guys from KFD Skateboards and it has always been a really good time. Recently I was contacted by a designer from California named Quoc Lu as he was wanting to build up his portfolio to break into the action sports scene and he used 3 of my photographs to put together an ad campaign for his portfolio.

I almost forgot about it and then he sent me back these three images which I really like. He did some research on the product and used the Tattoo Series as his basis for the ads and I thought I would post them because I also really love these 3 photographs that I shot of the guys.

So I have been working like crazy lately which is a good thing but I hate that I have so much new work to show and no where to show it. I mean, I really liked the way my old website looked but it really just was too much distraction as apposed to just showing off the photographs. It’s always hard to think of the best way to showcase online because I do not like Flash based websites purely because I have seen so many people having issues using them and in the end I think I wanted to make sure that mine would be as user friendly as possible. The website I had also never allowed me to put the photos up at a decent size so with all this in mind I have created a new one from scratch and although I am still filtering through photographs and updating the content, there is a good amount up so that I can release it.

If you have a chance, make sure to check out www.marcusmaschwitz.co.uk and have a look. As I said I am still busy uploading content so keep checking back.

This is a screen grab of the home page, hope you like.

I just got an MMS from one of the guys at Criminal Damage with a pic of a full page advert that I shot for them that is currently in Drapers Magazine. The two models are Natalie McQueen from Farewell City and Alfie Scully from We Are The Ocean, both super cool bands.

This is the photo. I hope you are all well. M

Currently listening to : Mutemath – Goodbye

I shot a bunch of stuff for the guys at Criminal Damage the other day for them to use in some up and coming adverts and point of sale (POS) marketing material. It is pretty standard and pretty plain in a white studio with a few members from bands that they support so it’s really not like the normal stuff I shoot but I had a good time working with the guys (and girl). These are a few of the photographs from the shoot so you can get an idea of what they were looking for. There are currently a few different full page adverts running in several magazines including this months Front and Drapers so be on the lookout for them. I will do my best to upload some of the tearsheets shortly as soon as I get more of them.

Featured in the images below are Jake Robbins (Out Of Sight), Ben Husted (Out Of Sight), Natalie McQueen (Farewell City) and Alfie Scully (We Are The Ocean). All very cool bands worth checking out.

If you have the time, be sure to check out some of my band photography on www.londonbandphotography.co.uk or my photography portfolio on www.marcusmaschwitz.co.uk

Last week I photographed some of the new Criminal Damage clothing line to be used for marketing images. We were really rushed for time so it was all a little chaotic but I photographed the models on a white screen and they used the images to create the artwork they were needing. They have just sent me this one which is a 9m wall that they are using to decorate their stand at a trade show in Germany this week. I like it and look forward to working with them again next month.

Last week I photographed some really nice jewellery pieces for a company called Meems and I really had a good time working with the friendly people that make the company. These are just a few pieces of the recent collection. I am shooting a few new ones in the next week so i will add them when I am done.

I hope that you are all well. Sorry for not updating in a while. Been really busy and finding it hard to make time for myself but it will come back soon. Marcus

I shot some photographs just a few weeks back for my client Indulge as they have now opened their restaurant in Rivonia and it is really amazing. I had a lot going during the time of this shoot with my wedding and actually haven’t really looked at them until now. I thought it would be cool to post the first 2 photos that I shot of a food setup in an olive garden and then 2 photos that Sarah photographed with me in them. Funny thing.

I shot a few more photographs today with the good people from Indulge that they are going to be using to print big posters that will be displayed in their new store opening later this month.

I shot this one for myself of the cake in the sun cause I thought it looked nice. Haha.

I am busy working on a project for a new confectionery boutique that is opening up in Rivonia in the next month and a bit and the owners are really awesome. The company is called Indulge and they will specialize in wedding cakes and good confectionery as well as have a coffee shop to just sit and relax. I photographed a selection of their wedding cake options over the last week and I really was shocked at how amazing they were. I am just uploading 2 photographs as I am still busy logging them.

Indulge is coming soon, look out for them.

Today we filmed and produced a music video for one of our corporate clients through our side company, Melon Videos. It was a super fun day and I shot a bunch of photographs that I really like but this is one of my favourites.

I hope you are all well. M
