UK band Placebo and Universal Music asked 10 directors to do 10 videos for the 10 new tracks on their latest release "Loud Like Love". Being a long time fan of Placebo (including trudging my way to see them play Glastonbury in 1997, as their stage was sliding down a hill due to mud so their set had to be stopped!), I was gratefully invited to direct "Until The End".
Produced by Peter Mascetta of Dreamseek Entertainment, shot by award winning cinematographer Brad Rushing and edited by Kyle Salazar, I could not have been more fortunate for their time, expertise and dedication to the project.
Many thanks to lead actor Chad Brisky! (click image to view on youtube)
Mojo Magazine sent me to Chicago to photograph the talented and humbly giddy, Laura Mvula for their 20th Anniversary hard bound edition. I arrived in the morning and was asked to do the photos in or around the venue, Laura's schedule was very busy as she was nominated for the Mercury Prize that day. Thankfully Isle of Man was across the street and run by very cool folks.
