Welcome to my blog on pivoting from architecture to acting and combining the two which I do here…

8 Weeks In Moscow

During my Acting Masters at Drama centre London I spent 8 weeks in Moscow studying at the Vaktangov School. Those 8 weeks were to change forever my view of what theatre can be.

Some years prior to this I had spent 1 year studying film as an architect and this would change my understanding of what film can be. These days these things come together as I continue to act, make films, take photographs and write…I am also still an architect…

8 Weeks in Moscow

I always travel with a camera, once upon a time, the would be a film camera; I would travel with roles of several types of film so I could experiment with film speeds, grain etc. These days when travelling, I take my trusty Fuji ex pro, just small enough fit in most bags it is the perfect camera for street photography .

Photographing you, photographing me

Whilst in Moscow I would, as I always did in new cities, simply roam, taking pictures of whatever momentarily grabbed attention. However on May 5th, when I ventured along to the May parade, as I photographed the annual traditional gathering, people would turn to photograph me. I was initially taken aback but I slowly came to realise that I was a curiosity to them, such is the scarcity of black folk in Russia. My response eventually was to turn it into a game. You photograph me:I photograph you.
