Singing Faces

Welcome to Singing Faces, a combined music and photography project.

Background

It combines two of my favourite things: music and photography. I like any ideas which help to establish creative communities,  and my aim with this project was to bring together and record a group of musicians with an original song to record.

Recording the songs

I started to record back in 2011.  Luckily for the project, the musicians who have come forward and got involved have been enthusiastic, willing to experiment and, most importantly, had a great mix of songs to capture.

Taking the portraits

Once each song is complete and a location is chosen, I meet up with each of the participants with the aim of capturing in the photographs elements of the songs as well as something of the characters of each of the musicians. Inevitably some songs lend themsleves to a photographic representation more easily than others!

The most important bit

To listen to the songs, view the photos and learn more about each of the participants, please just click on any of the names listed in the menu at the top of the page.

Singing Faces: Gig and Exhibition

To round off the first phase of the project, on 25 October 2011 at Native Tongue EC1 (near to Barbican Tube) all the musicians, the framed photos and the songs appeared together in one place under one roof as part of Oxjam. It was a special night.
