Had a fantastic photoshoot with Neil Ferry, a photographer from my hometown of Newcastle upon Tyne. I stumbled upon his work, especially the recent shoot with Matty Healy from The 1975, and immediately thought, ‘Wow, I need to collaborate with him!’

I got in touch with him, shared a bit about my album and project and he instantly understood what I was doing. We chatted about some ideas for the shoot and started brainstorming locations. We decided to mix studio and on-location shots. I reached out to two wonderful hotels, Hotel Gotham in Newcastle and Lumley Castle in County Durham, and they were so kind as to let us use their properties for the shoot.

It’s always great to team up with fellow Northerners, and the results of the shoot were exactly what I was hoping for. I’m looking forward to working with Neil again in the future.
