Jules Mattsson on the receiving end of Police ignorance

The following transcript is of a series of UK police officers attempting to prevent perfectly legal photography by using an amazing degree of ignorance about UK law.

Full credit to the photographer, he kept his cool pretty well, particularly after having his camera seized and aparrently being pushed down a flight of stairs.

14 bike co in the studio

14 bike Co. hired out my studio for a couple of days this week  – photography was skillfully executed by photoben (ben I want 20% for this plug).

Right now I have 500 sqft of space, backdrops, three bowens flash heads and softboxes, reflectors, stands, speedlights, a heavy duty tripod, a client meeting area, a tethered shooting / post processing workstation with 27″ dual-hdmi screen, and (most importantly of all), a good coffee machine…
