Chic Freak /  by John Hooper

A while back my friend Fiona Hermansson asked me to come and photograph some of the customers for a shop she was working with. The shop on the Portobello Road is an Aladdin’s cave with clothes from some of the most exciting figures in the fashion world. Their customers and friends are encouraged to drop in and hang out and the brief for the shoot? Studio 54 meets back stage at the Theater. My take on it was to create 5 characters to represent the shop  Check out their website for more info about the shop and their ideology.

RCA Secrets 2013 /  by John Hooper

At the end of 2012 I was commissioned by BCMH to shoot some portraits for RCA Secrets 2013. They didn’t like the pictures so using a paint roller they covered up the faces… 




RCA Secrets celebrates it’s 20th year and the show starts on the 14th March find out more here. Again it was a pleasure working with BCMH and they continue to produce some of the best work out there. LOOK!

Press shoot for Alen Seed /  by John Hooper

At the end of last year I had the pleasure of photographing Alen Seed for a future single cover and press. The idea of the shoot (over 2 days) was to build up a set of photographs, the first day was on the streets of Central London and a second day with a studio set up. I will put up more images as they are released.

New work /  by John Hooper

I have been very busy working on lots of very interesting projects for the last three months some which I have published below and some which will come out over the next month. The stills here come from a one of those projects with a wonderful man named Jordan McKenzie and our mutual friends at Brickwall films. I can’t say much more about it at the moment but there will be a film within the next month.

Last week I took some pictures for BCMH of the exhibition graphics they designed and installed for Design Junction. It is always a pleasure to work with talented people and BCMH are one of the most succinct and stylish studios out there. The above images are on the homepage for the BCMH website the former two being on a mobile and the latter on a desktop.
