If You Could

I have been working with Michael Moloney on a short time lapse film for the lovely people "If You Could". Michael was asked to produce a piece of work for their collaborative exhibition in January and he asked me to work with him. I'm not going to say too much here but come along to the exhibition and see what it's all about. If you need convincing have a look here.

Exhibition

The If You Could Collaborate exhibition will feature the artwork produced by all 33 pairings at the A Foundation Gallery, Rochelle School in London. The work ranges from classic framed pieces, to more ambitious, experimental sculpture, film and installation. Alongside the exhibition is an accompanying catalogue, comprehensively charting the process each individual project shown at the show over 312 pages. Included are sketches and workings of the creatives involved, as well as a final representation of the piece they will be exhibiting. The catalogue is published by It’s Nice That in an edition of 1,500.

Harp - Escape from Michael Moloney Studio on Vimeo.

I have worked with Mike before on the 6 music Ad but this was the first time through Rokkit. This was one of three ads shot over a week in a wet Belfast.

Antigua, Sweden and Le Touquet-Paris-Plage

I have had some unprocessed film in my cupboard for a while and thought it was about time to get the rolls processed. Some of it turns out to have been in there for almost 9 years. Here are the best bits so far.

The Wheels of the Creative Industries.

This is the first roll of a project I have embarked on to photograph the creative people I come in contact with. Designers, Photographers, Animators, Hairdressers and generally anyone involved in or around a creative pursuit.

Oh! They all use their bicycles to get around this sprawling metropolis in which we live and work.

If I know you and you would like to be photographed with your cycle please get in touch work@johnhooper.net

The Haunts, press shoot.

A good day spent shooting Haunts (Black Records)at a stables in Kent, (the name and address of which will be added once I remember). The shoot was influenced by the film "Haunts (1977), May Britt plays a seemingly innocent farm girl convinced that her slovenly uncle (Cameron Mitchell) is the man responsible for the bloody scissor-murders of several local girls."
