40th AOP Awards judging I was invited to be one of the category judges for the AOP Awards 40th anniversary in the Spaces category, which took place last year. I am pleased to finally be sharing this, albeit belatedly. It was a privilege to review such an exceptional standard of work and to be part of such a considered and inspiring process. Category judges: * Taran Wilkhu @taranwilkhu (Photographer) * Suzanne Imre @suzanne.imre (Brand Consultant and former Editor of @livingetcofficial ) * Marianne Cotterill @marianne_cotterill (Interior Stylist and Creative Director) The breadth, sensitivity and ambition of the submissions made it both inspiring and genuinely challenging, and a reminder of the strength and diversity within contemporary photography. I also had the pleasure of attending the ceremony and presenting the award, which was a real highlight. My thanks to the @assocphoto for organising the awards, and to the sponsors of the Spaces category, @streetstudios_e8 , for supporting the award. Thank you to everyone who entered. I will be sharing an image from each finalist, each one a testament to the care, vision and craft behind the work. Award night images by @guru_dev

In August 2010 I saw an ad for a tribute-act festival taking place in a field in Hull the following weekend. I emailed @mrdandavies at Esquire and pitched him a feature. I would go and watch and meet as many as I could over the three days it was on for. Dan got back to me 20 minutes later: “Yes yes yes.” I’ve always been fascinated by tribute acts. What, why and how they do what they do. The varying levels of commitment, delusion, self-awareness. The ones that do it for fun, and the ones that make impressive careers out of it. So off I went. Three days in a field in Hull. I saw maybe 30 bands (some of them still going strong) and interviewed as many as I could backstage, before and after performances, which all entertained me in some manner. The crowd loved it all. Dan sent along the brilliant @burn4t for the Saturday afternoon, to take proper portraits. I took along my tiny cheapo little digital camera, and just dug up my photos. What a laugh. Some notes: 1: Oasish. Still my favourite tribute-band name. And they were great. 2: The Smiffs. Fun. They don't send to be around anymore. Eclipsed by The Smyths. 3 &4: Coldplayer. Actually uncanny on every level. They only started because people told the guy he looked like Chris Martin. 5: Security guy living his best life. 6 & 7: 16-year-old Perry Pullman as The Man In The Mirror. Miming in a marquee. As he told me, his voice had only just broken and he needed to work on it for a couple of years. Second photo is him posing for a proper photo by Dan. 8: A punter gets into the groove with Madonna. 9 & 10: Guns 2 Roses. Stadium-level tribute. Their frontman is Welsh. 11: Tribfest. 12 & 13: REM tribute Stipe. 14: Feature opener with some of Dan's portraits.

A round up of some of my favourite commissions from the past year. I’m very lucky to be able to work with so many crazily talented artists. Looking back on 2025, I feel a mixture of pride and exhaustion. It’s been a tough one but the creative input from every one of the people I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with has made it inspiring, educational and totally worthwhile. Here’s to lots more in 2026 💥 @andre_carrilho @jackmrhughes @beckybarnicomics @franziska @elliefp @benedict_evans @benedettocristofani @crl_mrx @paulyblow @toriferenc @toddmidler @cianobasmith @javi_aznarez @tom__jamieson @charlie.forgham.bailey @chrisfloyd @timdrawsinink @rickpushinsky @eshakespeare @melcher_eastman @monaeing_michaelmeissner @zoebarkerdraws @kimdem @simonbailly @robbiel1 @robert_ormerod @stephencollinscomics @klawerzeczy @celina.c.pereira @ryanmcamis @beepencil @justingellerson @bugatto_illustration @mikemcquade @bylincoln @almahaser @mrkhrrs_ @_gioalberti_ @elliusgrace @neembuneembu @adamomaida @ferran_coves @tarini.design @peterflude @burn4t @brunomangyoku @katiethevisual @faulknerphotog @kristianhammerstad @natekitch @jamesalbon.illustration @orlandogili @sophiamartineck @mrcraigeaston

Versatile Productions partnered with Johannes Leonardo to bring to life the origin story of the iconic Kong dog toy in a branded content piece for Volkswagen. Directed by Dan Burn-Forti and shot in studio by cinematographer Alex Themistocleous, the film combines stylized visuals with heartfelt storytelling to explore how a piece of a vintage VW Bus inspired the beloved toy. Versatile led an extensive dog casting process to find the perfect German Shepherd to portray Fritz, the real-life inspiration behind the original Kong. The final film supports Volkswagen’s charitable collaboration with VCA Charities, helping to bring durable toys to shelter pets in need. _____________________ Client // @volkswagen Agency // @johannesleonardo Photographer // @burn4t @makingpicturessoho DP // @alex_themistocleous_dp Production // @versadigital Props // Kevin Brennan
