Being the staff shooter for
wideopenmag.co.uk is great, some where I can throw any images that don't seem to fit anywhere else, they might not even make it in there, but its nice to be so involved in such a great project. With each and every issue of the magazine it seems to just get better and better, more and more slick, the same great content and all for free via your PC...win win ?
Anyway the new issue came out a few days ago and has a fair bit of my work in from various shoots and events from the last few months including interviews with Danny Hart and Josh Brycland, BDS rounds, NASS, The world champs, The cover etc
So I just wanted to do a quick blog post with a few of my favorite images from the latest offering and say why they are my favorites... so without further a do...
Mr Hart in the morning practice of the same day he re-wrote MTB history...sideways of course...
And again the northern pinner on the cover again at the worlds
An older shot of Josh Bryceland from a few months ago now riding some of his local tracks
Simple head shot portrait of Alan Milway, so simple and yet so good...
Shot from NASS festival, big man Bob Manchester boosting it sideways in the middle of the dirt course
Title shot for Josh's interview, another shot from the same shoot as the shot of him above, for more from that shoot see here:

Few more lifestyle shots from NASS, the kind of shots you get thanks to having the camera there and then...

Again part of the Tavi repo, my mate Harry with a cow bell with one o the young rippers getting all bow, god bless em!
Another shot from Glen Coe BDS, it was hard work shooting at all, let alone anything worth putting in a magazine, but I managed it, good shot of Peaty who looks like he is having a whale of a time haha NOT!
So that sums that up, next post will be about LOCALS2, my new film coming out this winter...so keep an eye out for that...
