Six Quatre Cinq Road Trippin’

June 30, 2012 by Phil Kneen Photography

I took these shots in France a couple of weeks ago. My friend, Rich Plumley, and I flew down, I had some shots to get in Bergerac and had arranged a meeting with a photo agency in Paris, so we decided to drive the 1000 miles back to the Isle of Man, via the capital. Things didn’t go quite to plan… I’d organised to meet in a cafe near the Eiffel Tower at 5pm, by 4pm we were still 70 […]

Band Wagon

June 27, 2012 by Phil Kneen Photography

The images here were all taken between the 29th December 2007 and the 20th December 2008 – one year of band photography on the Isle of Man. In late 2007, after a long break from photography, I decided it was time to jump on the digital band-wagon. I’d never used digital before, not really had much experience with flash and had no idea what I was going to photograph. It was the drag-end of 2007 when I took my camera […]

Arctic Roll.

June 25, 2012 by Phil Kneen Photography

In a little over 2 months, on September 5th, I’ll be flying 3500 to Yellowknife in the North West Territories of Canada to shoot a 3 week photo-essay with writer Trevor Gibbs. I’d originally asked Trevor to manage a different project I was thinking about, based around the South West States of America, however, shortly after Trevor came on board we decided that we might as well make it a joint venture. After a couple of weeks researching the S/W […]

Hipstamatique.

June 17, 2012 by Phil Kneen Photography

Most of the shots below were taken out of the window of my van whilst driving up through France and around Paris. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with iPhone photography and the thousands of apps that have sprung up – I’m a film snob, so I want to hate this type of photography, but I do like the results! I made these shots with the very popular Hipstamatic app, I do the ‘shake to randomise’ thing which […]
