Interview in Quint Magazine

Marcus — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:01:31 +0000

A few weeks ago the guys over at Quint Magazine contacted me about featuring my work in their next issue which would be known as their music issue. I flipped through a few copies of the magazine and really liked what they were doing so I agreed and today the magazine hit the shelves. Currently the magazine is only available in Dubai (stocked in all Virgin Megastores) but is also available to read for free online.

I answered a few questions about what it is like working as a music photographer here in London and you can read all about it from page 56 of issue 12. Read it for free here. The rest of the magazine is very cool too so give it a full read. I feel really grateful for this so “thanks guys”.

Facebook Bandpages

I have some really cool people that follow my work and keep me updated by sending me screengrabs / scans of my work and where it’s been featured. I love that. Lately I have gotten a few of bands that I have worked with using my photos on their music player so I thought I would post a few.

These are for After The Ordeal, The Wild Archive, Dear Reader, Band Of King and Just Me Again.

Dear Reader Album Cover

Marcus — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 16:38:44 +0000

I was lucky to work again with the talented, Berlin based, Dear Reader on the promo photos to support the up coming release of Idealistic Animals and as always it was a pleasure.

The cover for the record has just been released so I thought I would share it. I have heard the tracks and cannot wait for this album to get out.

Dear Reader in the Park

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

Marcus — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 12:36:23 +0000

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

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

Marcus — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:22:00 +0000

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.

Darryl Torr

I shot this photograph of Darryl Torr a while back and he asked if he could use it for something so I just saw it again. I really like it. Darryl Torr is an amazing producer, sound engineer and musician and really just a really nice guy with more passion for the music industry than anyone else I have ever met. He has been in the music industry for ages and played in some amazing bands and is also the CEO of Openroom Productions which is responsible for many really good albums that have been released in South Africa. He also just won himself a grammy for producing the Soweto Gospel Choir.

Dear Reader

Marcus — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 21:25:12 +0000

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

The Tweeds

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.
