Pretty Vacant.

Although adrenalin magazine allowed me to play around with image making techniques for its product pages, Bogey was not the place for my trademark dirty Xerox’s. This footwear shoot took place in our office gents toilet with the help of the editorial team, most of whom were willing participants. The features narrative allowed me to shake a few drips on the hands that were feeding us and the images were shot on my new medium format Bronica camera.

The Postman.

Assistant editor Phil Hebblethwaite and photographer Mattia Zoppellaro went to Denmark to interview English golf’s bright new hope, 27 year old Ian Poulter, to see what all the fuss was about.

It took our team quite a few phone calls to find a club that was willing to host a session with UK garage collective the So Solid Crew. Thankfully the Stockley Park golf club out near Heathrow were very happy to accommodate us. Sarah Bentley and Debbie Bragg went along to document possibly the first time the crew had been on the green with iron in their hands. Possibly.

Dream Team.

Conceptual photographer Kofi Allen‘s work has always been about trying to capture the invisible characteristics of his subjects. This feature was shot by Allen at a charity fundraiser and was styled by our own Sarah Bentley.

A collection of pages from the fifth issue of Bogey including:

Herringfleet Mill

Back when I was a kid before I discovered punk rock, the family drove to this wonderful place a lot. I would chase grasshoppers and throw flea darts at my brother, dad birdwatched across the wetlands through his U-boat binoculars and mum would sit down and rest after carrying the picnic all the way from the car through the woods, over stiles and down to the riverside on her own. There was usually a whole roast chicken on a plate wrapped in tin foil and we all had our own plates and cutlery too.

Snape Maltings

The fact that a world famous homosexual composer of opera came from my home town frequently gives me pleasure and optimism. Like The Borough’s Aldeburgh fisherman Peter Grimes, Benjamin Britten also sought solace from all the wagging tongues and pointed fingers.
In 1966 he found it just up the river Alde at Snape in a disused maltings complex that within a year he had expensively converted into a purpose-built concert hall in which he and his lover, singer Peter Peers, could hang out in privacy whilst rehearsing, developing and performing new works. The hugely popular Aldeburgh festival has been held here since its completion in 1967.
