In Transit

This series of images was made during a tour with my band around Northern Europe. During our time away we are taken in and make our temporary home in squats, scout huts, vicarages, apartments, back stage areas and in the van. Shot in black and white, these images resist the expectations of traditional band photography, rather these images depict encounters of a quiet observation of transitional habitats and the people who welcomed us along the way. Channelling the influences of Jem Cohen, Anders Peterson and Ed van der Elsken, these pictures convey momentary encounters of a musician on the road.
