Dear Reader in the Park

Friday, March 6th, 2009

My friends from South Africa are in the band Dear Reader and they have been touring Europe and London to launch their new album which is really amazing. We made time to visit the park in Hyde Park and I shot some photographs with them.

These are just 4 of the photographs and you can see a few more on my Band blog if you have a moment.

Dear Reader Portraits

Monday, February 9th, 2009

My friends from Dear Reader are in Europe now busy touring the launch of their new album which is amazing (heard in studio during the recording process) and I am so excited for them. I shot some portraits of them back in South Africa before I left and they came out quite nice. I don’t want to give away too much as they haven’t been published yet so these are 5 that I like quite a lot.

They are super cool and are going to be in London for a few days next month so we will doing a shoot in and around London Town. Exciting.

Please keep an ear out for them and support them if you do.

Dear Reader in Coat

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

I shot new photographs with the Dear Reader crew last week and as always it was really natural and fun working with them. I am moving to the UK tomorrow and my plate is completely FULL so I will only be able to work on these later but I thought that I would just upload one while I was sorting out my hard drive and making sure everything is backed up.

I cannot wait for their album to come out. Check them out if you haven’t already.

Dear Reader in Les Rocks

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Dear Reader just arrived back from what sounds to be a super good trip throughout Europe and they just sent me these 2 scans of my photographs with them that have been published in Les Inrocks Magazine. These are them.

I will be shooting with them one more time before I leave to the UK and will blog those images soon so look out for them.

Dear Reader

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

I took these photographs of Dear Reader (formerly Harris Tweed) a few weeks back but I just realized that I hadn’t put any of them up yet.

I really like them a lot especially the second one.

Hope you having a good week, Marcus

Harris Tweed Finishing Up

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

With everything that has been going on here I just realized that I hadn’t yet posted this even though I thought it was done last week. Crazy.

My friends from Harris Tweed have been in studio with Brent Knopf from Menomena and I went to shoot some photographs of them finishing things up before Brent headed back to Portland. It was super fun because they had some of the crew from the Wits Choir in studio with them to record vocals and honestly it all sounds incredible.

I cannot wait to hear this album when it is finished.

Harris Tweed in Studio

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

My friends from Harris Tweed are currently in studio working hard on their new album so today we went passed to see how it is going and shoot some photographs. It’s all sounding bloody amazing as imaginable so this blog is to wish them good luck with the rest of their time on this.

We are shooting the new album photographs quite soon so I will keep you posted on them as we go along.Harris Tweed in studio recording their new album photographed by Marcus MaschwitzHarris Tweed in studio recording their new album photographed by Marcus MaschwitzHarris Tweed in studio recording their new album photographed by Marcus MaschwitzHarris Tweed in studio recording their new album photographed by Marcus MaschwitzHarris Tweed in studio recording their new album photographed by Marcus MaschwitzHarris Tweed in studio recording their new album photographed by Marcus MaschwitzHarris Tweed in studio recording their new album photographed by Marcus Maschwitz

The Tweeds

Friday, November 16th, 2007

I shot photos yesterday for my friends from the band Harris Tweed. I had an idea a while back for a shoot that I wanted to do with them but I have been so worried that it wouldn’t work out the way I had imagined. Anyway, yesterday we gave it a bash and I really like the results a lot. These are just a few of the favourites but there are a lot more that work well too.

Miss Cheri

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

On saturday night, Harris Tweed played one of the best shows I have been to before. They did something different and it really worked for them. I am pressed for time so I am only going to upload this photo of Cheri so you can see how amazing the set and lighting was. Check these guys out, they’re in a different league that this country isn’t used to

One more for today

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

I rushed all my processing today cause I shot a lot of photos over the weekend but decided to work on one properly and convert it to black and white to keep it raw. I really like this photo. Cheri is a good lead and although it must be stressful playing live to a big crowd, this shows she still enjoys it.
