Matt's Shoot

Just got in from a shoot with Matt Farley, a garage and house musician from near Wolverhampton. Wasn't exactly sure of what look to go for but was very happy with how they've turned out. We drove up to Dudley and went to an abandoned warehouse which has seen it's fair share of vandalism and abuse. I always categorized the place as "It's bark is worse than it's bite" - that was until we noticed 3 or 4 junkies passing through into a small part of the building and leaving about 10 minutes later.


I promise that's the first time that's happened, I knew the place was run down but this was pretty bad news. As I said to Matt - "It's bad news when there's "Pound Generator" bags everywhere" lol. The place gets used for alot of photoshoots, I'd personally advise anyone who goes to this location in Dudley to avoid it. The group saw us as they were leaving and said nothing (I was bricking it), I just kept thinking - "It's cool - I have a camera, i'll threaten to take their photo and give it in to the police" - then I thought - "Chris, they'll just steal or burn the camera." Once I'd finished talking to myself in my head I couldn't help but be nosy to see what they were doing. All that remained was a few dodgy containers, odd bits of foil and packs of matches, needless to say - we left straight after that.
Other than that it was a great shoot! Lots of new promo stills for Matt to use and hopefully help him to get to Ibiza for the closing parties this year! He also goes to Wolverhampton Uni - which is where I went for 3 days (Haha), so my support goes out to him. Go check him out now, www.myspace.com/djmattfarley
