Take the High Road

November 10, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

Monday 9th November, Ullapool, Scotland – It’s a good job I enjoy driving, because I’ve done a lot of it during the last 6 weeks, over 6,000 miles so far. In the 4 days since I left Calais, I have driven almost the entire length of England and Scotland, a distance of about 700 miles on the road. After leaving France late on Thursday, I dropped my friend/assistant off at her home in South London in the early hours of […]

35mm London

April 7, 2012 by Phil Kneen Photography

I had the most fantastic long weekend in London last week with my lovely wife, Helen. We did all the tourist things – London Eye, The British Museum, The War Museum (where I saw the amazing Don McCullin photography exhibition), we ate-out and spent a lot of time in various pubs with good friends, Amber and Loz. I really didn’t want to come home! I took three cameras, a Mamiya 7II medium format, a Nikon TW20 compact and an Olympus Mju II compact and 10 rolls […]

Mono

February 23, 2012 by Phil Kneen Photography

I’ve been taking photos, on and off, mainly on, for the last 25 years and I still can’t quite get my head around black and white film. I’ll see the work of another photographer and think ‘Right, that’s it, I’m only shooting mono from now-on because their photos look so damned good’, I then load a couple of cameras up with Kodak T-Max or Fuji Neopan and off I go. I don’t think I’ve ever shoot more than a couple […]

North Country Boy, third time lucky

December 13, 2011 by Phil Kneen Photography

This was my third attempt at photographing The Charlatans frontman, Tim Burgess. Personally, I think it was worth the wait, because I got exactly what I wanted.  I took the shot outside Euston Station in London, the entire shoot took about 10 minutes and then Tim went off to buy a charger for his mobile phone. Shot on a Mamiya 7II, 150mm and Kodak Tri-X film.

Straight-up

December 10, 2011 by Phil Kneen Photography

The portraits that I’m doing at the moment are simply a recording of that person, I don’t pretend they are anything else. When I talk to someone I don’t do it from on top of a step ladder, or sitting on the ground looking up at them and I don’t stand 50 feet away and converse using a pair of binoculars and a megaphone. When I talk to someone I stand face to face and look them in the eyes. And […]
