Malcolm McDowell, Asia Argento and Nick Frost? Yes Please!

Well, hello there photophiles! It’s been a long time since we posted news and a lot has happed, like the complete relocation of the studio to a new part of the country.

The Barefoot Photographer is once more at the globally prestigious Horrocon event at Magna! We’re also the official sponsor of a very special kick off screening of A Clockwork Orange with the legendary Malcolm McDowell. Malcolm will be watching the film with us and then taking a Q&A from the audience. Photography will be presented by our team, and we’re very excited to be a part of such a unique event.

Clockwork Orange Malcolm

All through the week we’ll be with Asia Argento, Malcolm and Nice Frost (Shaun of the Dead) for a fun filled weekend. Interviews, photoshoots, autograph sessions, food and drink; it’ll be a wild weekend. See www.horrorconuk.com and book your tickets now if you want to be part of this special weekend.

Joe Dante, Director of Gremlins!

I’m always happy when I get to meet new people. After shooting with the amazing director Dario Argento (Suspiria, Tenebrae & Phenomena), I now now get to shoot Joe Dante!

Get in touch for your own events and shoots and we’ll be happy to help.

Corey Feldman & Many Others....

I was once again the official photographer to my favourite weekend of the year: Horrorcon!

Corey Feldman, meeting and greeting his guests

Not only did I get to shoot Corey Feldman and all of the other guests, but hanging out with Dario Argento, my favourite movie director of all time, was more fun than I ever imagined!

I even had Scout Taylor Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween) re-enact meeting Michael Myers! It was actually taken in the break room behind the stage area, so no studio. Just my assistant with a speedlight and some camera know how!

Scout Taylor Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween) meeting Michael Myers one last time….

So what was it like? In a word, this weekend is SPECTACULAR! The organizers do such an amazing job, and the atmosphere is electric. This is my 3rd time at the convention, and 2nd as their photographer, and they really, truly knocked it out of the park this year on all fronts.

The guests?

  • Corey Feldman - An absolute gentleman

  • Ed Neal (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) - The funniest man alive and a treasure trove of movie knowledge

  • Sean Pertwee (Gotham, Dog Soldiers) - Beautiful guy, has time for everyone he meets

  • Scout Taylor Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween) - Sushi fiend, and the best fun! The crowd loved her

  • Victoria Price (Vincent Price’s daughter, author) - Wonderful! So kind, and a fountain of knowledge!

  • Denis O’Hare (American Horror Story) - Great fun, and my assistant was in complete awe to meet him. Always a good sign!

  • Jennifer Rubin (A Nightmare on Elm Street 3) - A personal favourite guest. I accidentally bumped into a famous UK model because of Jennifer, so more pictures for another time!

  • Duncan Regehr (Monster Squad) - A seriously, seriously great guest with many a tale to tell!

  • Dario Argento (Suspiria, Tenebrae, Opera) - My favourite movie director of all time. The Italian Hitchcock that inspired John Carpenter (they’re good friends, see them at Cannes!), Tarantino and so many more - an endless list

Here’s a personal gallery behind the scenes:

What a weekend! Several shoots yet to be published with amazing people. Another great event with great people, and long may it continue to be the very best gathering of its kind in the UK!
