Peter Brotzmann @ Cafe Oto, Hackney
Peter Brotzmann is a key figure in free Jazz, and delivered an intense (to say the least…) set at Cafe Oto, in Hackney.
Auriol Promo Shoot @ Battersea Park, London
Auriol is a professional singer whom you might have seen on this blog in a very different situation…
One Sunday, we went to Battersea Park to take some photos for her business cards, her coming website, and a generic poster that I designed as well (see at the end of the page).
It’s snowing in London!
I had felt a bit unprepared when it happened last year, so I have had my gear ready in preparation of this year, and replaced the D200 by a D700.
A (very) basic RAW workflow in Lightroom 2
The plan here is to describe how to start on the right foot in Lightroom 2. This article is directed towards people who use Lightroom for the first time, or who find themselves confused between folders/collections, RAW/JPEGs, import/export, to name a few.
We will see how to create a new catalog, import some pictures, put [...]
Transition
I have entered a quiet phase on the shooting side and this has allowed me to focus on off camera things like:
One night in Mumbai

A short slideshow from Mumbai, where my friend Chetan took me out one night. This is what I saw and heard on the way.
Mumbai – Night, Taxi, Rain
Mumbai – Night, Taxi, Rain from onedayforever on Vimeo.
I’m in Mumbai for non-photographic purposes, and most of my free time is spent in taxis, especially when it rains. I thought I should make the most out of that time and filmed + took pictures.
Loveless @ Eggman, Shibuya, Tokyo
Here are some more pictures of Loveless and their crazy singer Nana Kitade playing at Eggman.
Scary act, a bit mental, I loved it. For the original blog post, it’s here!

Makoto Inoue, Mime Artist
In between Fuaim and Nedry was… a mime, Makoto Inoue. This is the kind of setlist I have never seen in London, probably because the audience wouldn’t really give it the attention it deserves.
His set was very physical, and I got into it very quickly and unexpectedly. Once he starts, you forget that he [...]
Fuaim – Ucess Lounge, Harajuku, Tokyo
I am back from my Japan trip with Nedry, and it is now time to go properly through all the pictures, sounds and videos. I start easy with some shots from the band Fuaim, who played with Nedry at the Ucess Lounge in Harajuku, Tokyo.
Japan – The streets of Osaka
Photos taken around Ame-Mura (American Village) in Osaka, while Nedry was soundchecking.
Japan – Eggman gig
The weather in Tokyo these last few days has been pretty horrendous, and I’ve been busy filming under the rain for Nedry’s blog, keeping my camera safe and sound… However, some pretty interesting things happened indoors like Nedry’s gig at Eggman, the biggest show of the tour:
Nedry – Condors, Japan Edition
Nedry ran out of CDs of their latest album Condors on the Japan tour, so we decided to create a special edition CD. The cover is one of the photos that I took during the first Japan gig. Here it is:
I am quite happy that we used a photo from the Japan trip, did the [...]
In Japan, I wish I did not have to sleep
I am currently following Nedry’s tour in Japan, and it has been absolutely brilliant, despite being constantly pushed by time.
The days are similar in their planning (transport mayhem, soundcheck, eat, play, drink, drink, blog, sleep) and yet so different. My senses are overloaded with faces, places, sounds. I am always tired and constantly carrying 12 [...]
Japan – Harajuku, Tokyo
A few photos from Nedry’s gig in Harajuku in Tokyo. I was a bit disappointed as we did not see that many lolitas hanging about in the streets, but it was still an interesting area, and an awesome venue.
Japan – Backstage @ Anga, Chiba
A few photos taken backstage at Anga, Chiba, where Nedry was playing their first Japan gig. Have to go to the next gig now, more photos later!
Nedry Live @ Anga, Chiba
A little video I made using pictures taken from Nedry’s first gig in Japan + one song (Condors) recorded that night. See more of Nedry and our trip here and on their website.

In Japan with Nedry – Day 1 – Transit
First day in Japan after about 20 hours of transit in planes and trains. Bit of a scare at Heathrow because my camera bag was 12kg instead of 5, which was promptly solved by following the advice from the security dude and taking the camera and the laptop out of the bag and carrying them [...]
To Japan with Nedry
I am really psyched to tell you that I am flying to Japan in a few days.
I will be documenting the tour of my good friends from the band Nedry in Tokyo and Osaka. We plan to blog daily from there and you will be able to follow it all on their website: nedrymakesmusic.com (website [...]
Isabella & Diego, Porthleven, Cornwall
Isabella and Diego got married in the very cute town of Porthleven, in Cornwall.
Siracuse, Sicily
Photos from my trip to Sicily in June. They are mostly taken in Ortigia, Siracuse’s peninsula.
Valletta, Malta
A few shots I took in Valetta, Malta, en route to Sicily.
It is extremely hot during the day (at least compared to London!) but you can get some nice shadows at the end of the afternoon (cf 133 below). The city is really strange, there is one horribly touristic main street and the rest is [...]
Emilie & Martin, Saint-Cast le Guildo, France, 18 July 2009
Emilie and Martin got married in Saint-Cast le Guildo, a small sea resort near St-Malo, in France.
