Pebble Zine: Lucy Cait

These photos are from a casual shoot with musician Lucy Cait, following her interview with Pebble Zine's music editor, Sally Rose McCormack. You can read the full feature on pages 80-81. This has been my final edition of the magazine as deputy editor, however I am certain I will continue to contribute where I can.

Pebble Zine, Issue 4

I am very pleased with how far Pebble Zine has progressed since its September début. The magazine is being noticed by more and more independent brands and businesses, who are eager to be featured. From my own perspective, it was delightful to hear that the independent designers at Wolf & Badger were familiar with the publication. And people who I met at London Fashion Week are keen to be involved.

This fourth issue of Pebble Zine is our 'unseen' edition, in which we focus on the ideas of exploration, alternate perspectives, and re-discovery. Highlights include Sam Thomson's feature on urban exploration (p.31), Lulu Liu spring/summer shoot by Estefania Aviles (p.58), Swim Deep interview by Rosie Lord (p.118), and vegetarian recipes from lifestyle editor Georgia Scarr (p.154).

I hope you enjoy reading through the new issue. Once again, if you have any positive or critical feedback, or you would like to contribute to the magazine, please get in touch. Equally, if you represent an independent brand or business and would like to advertise in our summer issue, you can e-mail me at unlimitedbyjk@yahoo.co.uk.We offer affordable rates for full page advertising.

À La Disposition Menswear

As featured in Pebble Zine, Issue 3

Often in fashion, there is a distinct divide between men's and women's styles, created by separate designers working on separate sexes. But for those designers who work with both, similarities in design are commonplace, when influences, ideas and materials are one in the same.

Pebble Zine, Issue 3

Xmas holidays at home, work placements and Miami have meant I have had very little time in Bournemouth to work on the new edition of Pebble Zine. But the team have done me proud with an even stronger issue than the previous.

Alongside the magazine's traditional album reviews, fashion trends and food porn, this new issue features - among many other wondrous things - an interview with 'Ruby and the Ribcage', photographs from San Francisco, and a sportswear-inspired fashion shoot by the young and talented Saskia Lawson.

We also feature our coverage from the recent London Collections: Men, including an interview with À La Disposition's Daniel Kinne, with whom we discussed the fashion label's movement between striking womenswear and its equally creative, début menswear collection. Likewise, fashion editor Tazz Gault reports on our favourite designers from the three-day showcase: Jenny Schwarz, Orschel-Read, and Hentsch Man.

I could not be happier with our third issue. In particular, I am extremely pleased with the many unique illustrations that grace its pages throughout. Have a read, find as many as you can, and let us know which ones you like.

Pebble Zine natural beauty shoot

The final photo shoot of Pebble Zine's October/November issue maintains a focus on natural beauty. Black and white photographs draw attention to the finer details of each individual's face, such as freckles, facial hair and jawline. The following portraits are my personal cut from the full shoot. The published editorial can be found on pages 220-231.

Pebble Zine, Issue 1

The debut issue of Pebble is finally here, and I could not be prouder. Since I was approached to be deputy editor back in May, there has been a mixed bag of emotions, from excitement to anxiety, but months of hard work saw us publish the first issue of a brand new webzine, for which you can find a copy below.

Culture editor Nick Reilly, Features editor Joshua Saunders, Fashion editor Tazz Gault,
Beauty editor Beth price, Lifestyle editor Georgia Scarr, Music editor Sally Rose McCormack.

My published contributions to the magazine are mostly photographic, including a London Fashion Week street style feature on pages 49-61, our lingerie shoot on pages 74-87, and a natural beauty shoot on pages 220-231. But of course, do have a read through the whole magazine! We have plenty of pages in which to immerse yourself.

Our next issue will be published in two months. If you represent an independent and/or emerging brand, and you would like to advertise or even be featured in the magazine, do get in touch. All relevant contact details can be found at www.pebblezine.com.

Eoin is a paper conservator for the British Museum - a role befitting his dandy attire.
He wears Reiss trousers and waistcoat, Marks and Spencer shirt, second-hand tie,
satchel from eBay, and Clarks shoes. A suave ensemble for the London gentleman.

Antony is from Russia. His outfit is sharp and pristine, with small details, such as his
silver Longines watch and Ray Ban sunglasses in colour pop red, perfecting the look.
I'd love to see more men dress as well as him. He also wears Zara coat and jeans,
Hugo Boss shirt with contrasting collar, and matching Kenzo shoes and belt.

Punk rock chic, Bournemouth

All-black, studded leather, tinted shades... I couldn't ignore Billy's slick dress sense.
He is presently studying Theatrical Hair & Make-Up at Bournemouth College. He wears
Boy London cap, ASOS clubmaster sunglasses, Next shirt, The Ragged Priest biker
jacket, River Island holdall, and Underground creepers. He didn't know where he had
bought his jeans, apparently owning too many to be sure. His necklace was a gift.

Lalinta (left) and Pitcha (right) come from Thailand. They laughed that their
complementary outfit choices were entirely coincidental. Lalinta wears H&M blouse,
Zara bag, Emporio Armani sunglasses, and skirt from Thailand. Pitcha wears Jane
Shilton shoes, H&M skirt and sunglasses, top from Thailand, and Longchamp bag.

The Bournemouth Rock: photo of the fortnight

One of my photographs from Bushy Park last summer has been selected as the photo of the fortnight in the The Bournemouth Rock newspaper. Up until now, it has only been my computer's desktop background, so I'm pretty pleased. (Click the photo to enlarge)

Vivien is an interior decorator from Boscombe. She did not tell me specifically what
she was wearing, but said she enjoys wearing zany outfits: "I dress eccentric because
I am eccentric, but I have really pushed the boat out today." The above photo

Occupy photo for BBC News

A pleasant discovery today... My photo of Occupy Bournemouth demonstrator Levi (previously seen here) has been used for publication on the BBC News website - with a small byline too! Perhaps I should get stuck into more newsworthy events as a freelance press photographer or photojournalist.

I was very happy to discover last night that my recent street style photo was selected for showcase on The New York Times website. Each week, NYTimes.com asks their readers to send in street style photos under a specific category, of which last week's was socks.
