Photographer, Art Director, Designer, Visualiser, Creative Director, Account Manager, Artist, Lecturer are but some of the many job titles I have had during my experience within the advertising world. Throughout the decades I have worked on both sides of the camera, and spent the last 3 years researching the role photography takes in enabling artisans to maximise their presence on the high street.
As stated in my book – Creating photography for artisans, I include document blanks and further projects that I have been involved with my case studies
On the Tinfou dunes Morocco, just west of Algeria.
In a journey around Morroco we had one battered Series II and a Defender in tow. A local guide took us through the huge sand dunes. Whilst we drove in Land Rovers with squashy tyres he showed us the route on a 50cc moped. What a guy!
Out of the dusty landscape came this incredible figure carrying an immense load of what looked like dried plants. Brandishing an adz and shoeless. Then the groups of children that ran out from the mountain villages, or the extremely inventive fitter who repaired our unrepairabe Land Rover’s tyre.
Many many of these watering houses are no more, with the amount closing per week only the gastro and brasserie styled ones are surviving.
