Us Among The Stones
Yesterday I had the privilege of covering an event for a mentor of mine – Dictynna Hood, a writer/director, whose first film Wreckers (2011) starred Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy.
Box of Matches
Documenting Your Events
ABOUT US
Box of Matches was born out of a pasion to help people and organisations project their authentic self to the world. We specialise in event photography for the corporate world. For us, it’s about capturing the buzz of the day and helping people see the personal side of the organisations we serve, covering events in London, Essex and Kent.
If you are making plans for an event do get in touch and lets see how we can help.
WHY // Our Passion!
We see our selves as documentarians helping individuals and companies show their authentic self to their audience. Stepping back from the camera and lights to uncover the heart that beats within the vision.
WHAT // Your Story!
One question we ask everyone we work with is – What’s your story? Humans have an inmate connection to story, which is why we try to find that emotional connection between what you do and why it matters to you.
HOW // Express Yourself!
There’s a person behind every great product or service, thats the person we strive to capture. With the eye of a journalist and the heart of a storyteller giving the right balance of care and creativity.

Learning to See
Recently, I watched a few courses on the Masterclass Series; Filmmaking by Martin Scorsese and Photography by Annie Leibovitz, one thing they both mentioned is learning how to see. This actually curios as to how I see. What do I like visually? What is my visual taste? I decided to go London South Bank, take a tonne of photos and work out what I like visually. I had a rough sense of it but I wanted to articulate it.
Katia’s Story Shoot
Had a great time collaborating with some really talented folks on Saturday, working on a micro short – Katia’s Story. The lead image is a Canon Log file (ungraded) from the shoot, editing will be done this week with final output expected over the next weekend.
New Website… Coming soon.
We are currently updating our website (which has not had a face lift in 2 years). The structure is mostly in place but a lot work is still being done with regard to copy and images. Full release should be end of October 2017.
Pre shoot
Cleaning and getting gear ready for a shoot tomorrow for Pimco Investment Summit holding at The Landmark Hotel, London.
Portrait Light Test
Played around with some speedlights and an LED testing different set-ups as prep for a few portrait shoots I have over the weekend. Would be interesting to see what shooters vs none shooters prefer, will keep my favourite under wraps.
