Christian Shaw and the Witches of Paisley - a new opera project from NOISE.

“Christian Shaw and the Witches of Paisley” is a new opera in development from NOISE, with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working on numerous projects in the past decade (like this one for example). This time I was filming and photographing workshops for this new venture which takes as its subject matter Paisley’s textile industry and the last witch trial to take place in Scotland. It’s a fascinating story and I cannot wait to see the final production. You can learn more about the project from the video below.

Working with Paul Hodgkiss. Photographing designs by Paul Hodgkiss truly isn't a difficult task. His beautiful, unique, hand-crafted furniture pieces with variety of curves and textures are as photogenic as house fittings can get. Having captured Paul's design work at such places as The Meat Bar, Palomino and Bowmore Hotel I was commissioned to photograph his stunning, newly open showroom in Glasgow's South Side as well as the workshop where the original pieces take shape:
