Example - Quick Preview!

I've missed you...

I'm well aware I have neglected this blog. I am a terrible blog-mother. Very sorry indeed.

Anyway, I have had somewhat good reason. Katie Burrett (.com) has had a very intense and amazing Summer! I've been lucky enough to do things like see Friendly Fires at Mallorca Rocks with my wonderful boyfriend, and work at Creamfields with team Mixmag... also have worked at a brilliant local festival called Brownstock... seen Snoop Dogg and De La Soul in Victoria Park... interned for Front Magazine... Met Diplo... There is just too much to put here! If I've had 3 days off to myself it has been very RARE... I'm not complaining though, I'm lucky to be so busy doing what I love. But there goes my justification of my lack of blogging. If I've been in the house, I've been editing or catching up on sleep. Possibly dying my hair.

My new website, which is being made by me (sort of), will be up in a few weeks. It will feature my recent foray into music photography, something I see being a big part of my future! And also some streetstyle work I've been doing with Armani Exchange recently.

So in conclusion - I'm not dead, and exciting stuff is coming! Bear with me...

My work in the Oxo Tower & street art

Last week I visited the Oxo Tower on the Southbank to see an exhibition of Fashion Promotion third years' work... I did some photography for Blane Chapman's final portfolio, and also his final project which was a publication called Alt.

Also spotted some work by the very talented Laura Crouch which I shot months ago... excuse the plastic glare! Plastic + lights + camera = chaos!

Also exciting this week, I was given a print by the amazing David Walker, his work is a must-see. Beautiful portraits of women in constructed with spray paint, no brushes! I helped out with the artwork capture for David's release of new prints through Squarity, which have been created into some of the best digital artwork prints I've seen. (I don't recommend flattening one out with sunbed cream, candles and water bottles, though!)

Very proud of my 1/50 edition! It's going straight up on the wall as soon as I can get a frame.

Also, if you're around Brighton then check out this show...

At the Ink_d gallery Brighton

A major solo show, focusing on his new work under his full name. I think it shows the more serious side of his work! Very excited for the private view! Check out his website here.

ANDY WILLSHER: NME PHOTOGRAPHER

Continuing on mine and my flatmate Kevin's adventures (I do mention him quite a bit), Thursday night held for us a night of great importance... we attended the private view of Andy Willsher at The Hoxton Book Club. Lovely venue, really lovely guy! His work really held it's own because of the monochrome theme, his prints are currently on sale via his site and I lusted after a beautiful massive photograph of Amy Winehouse. Can see it going perfectly in my little bedroom!

I managed to get an interview with some juicy goss about Amy Winehouse and others... to be uploaded as soon as I get the mp3 from the dictaphone... The venue itself is lovely. Really original and raw, the lighting is not as focused on the work as I would like but then it's not always possible in a used space! Myself, Kevin and a few others are currently putting an exhibition on in a similar venue so it was great research, and was talking to the lovely Freya at TBC about how they set up.

Up late & editing

Some edits I've been working on for Immaculata and Nudge Records while ill at home, I don't think I can look at the computer anymore! Michael Macintyre beckons....

Thought I'd best upload something, it's a bit of a crap photography blog!

Two posts in about 20 minutes. Go me!
