Some frames and moments from a project with photographer @ojharv & musician @arowahsounds

It’s so refreshing to sometimes work with a small setup, figuring it out as you go

What an enjoyable process 🤝 by @mrjackwells

One of my favourite things about being a photographer and filmmaker is the opportunity to meet other artists and learn about their process and motivations.
When I first met Arowah, we chatted about her approach to music, involvement with meditation and the importance of collaboration over ego

“The sound that you are putting out is not just yours alone, you know, the instrument plays a part, the history of the music plays a part, your teachers play a part, your inspirations play a part, and all that comes out through you.”

Last year, I got home to find out there had been a fire in my neighbour’s house. The whole home had been stripped back to the floorboards and blue smoke-stained walls.
It felt like such a perfect location to shoot these stills and a short film, exploring the idea of creation and consciousness.

Feb 2020, one of the last travel jobs for a while that year… And what a good one, A mix of digital and film. A bag full of 16mm and the trusty Bolex, And some Canon FDs to go with the digital, perfect little combo for an on the fly run and gun road trip shoot. Lots of laughing with top notch Cathal breakfasts to make the sunrises more exciting. Lots of Bee keeper bothering was done, some of the most beautiful apiary sites I’ve seen were up in the Andalusian mountains. Essentially the approach was to buy a motorbike and genuinely have fun with it and sometimes capture it.

Collaborating with @babii.mp3 making the video poems is always fun, for an aspect of her project Necta we smashed the shit out of some pillows. This scene was shot after a pretty long day of shooting, what seemed like a good idea at the time then became mammoth feather cleaning up time. Obviously totally worth it ⛓️🪶
