Scott C

Ok, so the bad has definitely out weighed the good this week and it's been tough but there's a little glimmer of hope. There's some opportunities that seem to be slowly opening up and i'm trying not to get my hopes up but things seem to be clicking into place for photography. If/when any of these things actually happen i'll deifinitely be writing about them.

Last summer one of my favourite artists was over from America to do an exhibit with another artist. It was a really awesome show and I got to hang out with them a little and take some photos of them doing a live art. It was my first experience of doing this and it got me hooked. Scott C who was the other artist is over at the moment doing a solo show called 'Everybody, all the time' with London Miles gallery in East London. It's really nice to get to see such a large collection of his paintings. I really wanted to shoot his opening but I didn't really get the chance but he was doing a comic book workshop which I asked if I could come down and shoot.

Saying Scott is one of the nicest people i've met would be a huge fucking understatement. I don't think i've met many people more relaxed and as excited about art, comics and just people in general. It's been a pleasure spending time with him again. Tina who is overseeing every thing for London Miles breaks seems like one of the few 'good guys' in the art world and is doing a great job at finding exciting people to exhibit.

Photographing the workshop made me realise how much I want to move a lot more into documentary style shooting especially when it comes to artists.
