One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest

December 9, 2018 by Phil Kneen Photography

This journal entry was made halfway through my outing on the Reul na Mara; We’d come back to Scrabster harbour to shelter from the storm which had chased us all the way from Orkney, a maritime rollercoaster ride that lasted 10-hours. Ross’ approach and entry into a turbulent and blindingly dark Scrabster harbour was an impressive display of boat handling and a testament to his 36-years experience at sea – he made it look as easy as negotiating a shopping […]

Jarrod Dickenson

February 17, 2016 by Phil Kneen Photography

“Storytelling is something of a Texas tradition. Tall hats and even taller tales are woven into the fabric of The Lone Star State, and singer-songwriter, Jarrod Dickenson can spin a yarn with the best of them. Hailing from Waco, now based in Brooklyn, Dickenson spends most of his time on the road bringing his own particular brand of soulful americana to a wide variety of music loving audiences around the globe” All images made with Nikon F100, 28mm and 50mm […]

Inked

August 9, 2013 by Phil Kneen Photography

I have about eight different projects on the go at the minute, all in various stages of completion, some nearly finished, others barely started. Some people accuse me of losing interest, but it’s quite the opposite – I start shooting one idea, then I get more interested and develop more ideas on top of the ones I already have! I met-up with Jamie Helps, initially as part of my ‘Scar Tissue’ project, in the Lucky 13 tattoo studio, this is […]

Film, it’s overrated…

January 14, 2013 by Phil Kneen Photography

The day Kodak stop making Tri-X will be a very sad day indeed, there’s no other film like it. Fuji Neopan 1600 came close, and I did use it quite a bit, but it was discontinued a couple of years back and not replaced with anything even slightly similar. The thing I love about Tri-X is it’s ‘push-ability’, its box speed is 400iso, but I regularly shoot it at 800, 1600 and have gone as high as 3200 and still […]

Black & White Strypes

December 4, 2012 by Phil Kneen Photography

I’d planned to get more shots of The Strypes, but on the day I was in the grips of a most hideous bout of the ‘flu, by the time they’d got into their second song at 9.45pm, I was on my way home to die. All of the shots below were made using a Nikon FM3a, 35mm f2 lens. I hung-around during sound-check, but only managed to shoot one roll of film, a single roll of Kodak Tri-X 400, pushed […]
