There is a great magazine being put together in Dubai called Quint Magazine and they currently just released their 12th issue which is a music themed issue. The team over at Quint contacted me to run a feature on my work in the music industry and they kindly ended up running 18 pages of my work.

The entire issue is great and is available for free in print (currently only in Dubai) but also online everywhere to read without having to register. Below is the grabs for the article but you can read it free by going HERE.

Hope you enjoy and that 2012 has been off to a good start for you all … Marcus

WOW, where does time go? I know that sounds really clichéd but it’s just so trued. I mean 2010 as a year completely flew by and now 2011 seems to be following the same. It’s exciting how much is going on but I do sometimes which that life in general wouldn’t be such a rush.

Anyway, everything is really good this side and I have been working with some incredibly talented artists of late which has made it easy for me to gather inspiration. I will be updating this site soon with some new photos as soon as I get a chance.

The reason for this update is because I had an interview with the really amazing people over at Killer about my photography, working with musicians, life in general and London. I like how it came out so if you have a chance please check it out HERE.

I worked with the guys from Delica Black and shot some new promo photos for them in and around Crystal Palace Park. The weather seemed really crappy when we first arrived and I thought we would be spending the time shooting in the rain but it stopped and we were lucky to shoot with some really dramatic cloudy sky in an awesome location.

Ashley Hoy and Guy Brackenbury of the band The Glass Empire have made a few line up changes and started a fresh as a new band called Adelphia of Kings and the change definitely seems for the positive.

In June 2009 the guys from Pocket TV did a documentary with Papa Roach on tour and they filmed me while I photographed portraits of the guys in the rain. A lot of my friends (and bands I work with) really look up to these guys so I felt like I had a lot of pressure on me but I was also super excited.

After a really hectic and amazing 2009 I decided to take the first few weeks of this year to try and catch up on personal projects while bands are in recording and prepping for tour. As is always the case, personal projects just get pushed aside when deadlines come into play and I always do my best to help the people I work with where I can. So much for the short break and as of tomorrow (hopefully my flu passes) everything will be back into full swing and I am super excited to push this year.

This week tuesday The South African hit news stands featuring an interview about myself and my work here in London. The South African is a newspaper aimed at Global South Africans living and working in London so it is a privilege for me that they have taken interest in my photography work here. An online version of the article is available to read here and I think it turned out quite nicely.

Then the next exciting bit of news that I have is that this week I took delivery of my new Profoto babies and I am already in love. Haha. The guys from Profoto were really nice to post a short feature about me using their gear on a recent photo shoot that I had with the guys from Zebra and Giraffe while out in South Africa. You can check out the feature on the Profoto blog.

Other than that, I hope everyone is having a good start to the year. Thank you again for all your support and please check back soon for some new work updates. Marcus

So we are already 7 days into the New Year and it’s already a busy and exciting one for me. I have already worked on some amazing projects and the response to my work of late has been incredible. I am hoping to really push myself this year and step it up a big notch so that I can continue and live up to the amazing year that was 2009. Before I say goodbye to last year completely, I posted a Top 10 Live Performances List on my Blog and it is just a personal look back at the incredible shows I got to work at last year and which ones were my favourites.

To start the year off I was interviewed by the really nice people at Entertainment Africa and it went live on their site this week so if you have the time please check it out and let me know what you think. They questioned me about some of the work I do and my general working days. I think it came out really nice. Click HERE to link to it.
