WOW. This year really has started off well and it hasn’t even really started for me. Last week I had an interview with the really nice people at The South African which is a newspaper focused at Global South Africans (Saffas) living abroad and the interview is about my life here in London and my work here as a music photographer.

The newspaper hits news stands today and I have been sent a few copies so I will try and get a scan / photo of this up when I can but in the mean time there is a teaser online which you can read if you have the time by CLICKING HERE. Below is a screen grab of the online issue.

Thanks for taking the time out to read this. Much appreciated. Marcus

Zebra and Giraffe Interview

Marcus — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:48:27 +0000

The boys from the amazing Zebra and Giraffe just did an online interview and one of my portraits for Greg was used. I really love this photograph so I have decided to post it on here. I shot this at the end of last year (2008) just before I moved to the UK. We were shooting their music video for Oxymoron and during scene changes I shot a few portraits of the guys through my Yashica. Basically I set up my Yashica Mat-124G Camera on a tripod and focused it as I normally would and then I took my nikon D3 with my 60mm Micro lens attached and photographed the viewfinder of the Yashica. So essentially this is a photo of what was I could see through the set up old amazing medium format camera.

Anyway, this is a grab of the interview but you can see the actual one on here so check it out. The boys are on their way to Kenya this weekend for the MTV Africa Music Awards so I am holding thumbs that they take over there.

Interview about my work with Bluntmag

Marcus — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:15:52 +0000

A few weeks ago, the editor from Bluntmag regarding my photograph and the work that I am doing in the music industry here in London. I always feel weird with stuff like this because I don’t ever want to come across arrogant or anything like that because I don’t think I am “cool” for doing what I do, I just love it so much.

Anyway, you can read the interview (please do) online for free at http://www.bluntmag.co.za/people/features/?article_id=2317. I think it came out pretty cool and it contains some information about how I started out. It was fun thinking back to those days.

Below is the front page of the article as well as some of the band photographs that feature in the article (including Bloc Party, Papa Roach, Rise Against, Swivelfoot, Zebra and Giraffe, Taking Back Sunday, Nofx, Juliette Lewis and The Gaslight Anthem). I hope you like it. Please let me know what you think.

Chat soon, Marcus
