Today we're reminiscing about our shoot with Grammy-nominated R&B songstress MAHALIA back in 2016 for tmrw #13…
Since then, MAHALIA has been killing it: with her latest project LETTER TO YOUR EX, collabing with artists like @ajtracey on their break-up anthem 'Roadside' and let's not forget opening for @aliciakeys in London town, she's a force to be reckoned with.
@mahalia we are definitely due another link-up soon 🖤
The exhibition at The Photographers’ Gallery is now open, I will be popping in at lunchtime today if anyone else would like to say hello. It was amazing to see so many people at the private view this week - wish I’d made a couple of snaps, great to see you all. This is #13 from Verse II, overall there are 57 works across the three Verses.

There is something mesmeric in the drying down of a wet print, the analogue process - being an altogether slower production allowing for qualities of contemplation throughout - the finished (dry) silver gelatin print can be seen at @photolondonfair today.
@tpgprintsales "Drawn from his latest body of work created over seven years, the images represent a photographic journey both literally and figuratively. Using his immediate landscape as both a meditative and inspirational resource, Hughes regularly set out with his large-format camera travelling the many footpaths around his home leading to the Cornish coast. The resulting photographs offer deeply subjective, almost transcendental impressions of these journeys, serving as a diaristic record as well as a personal reflection on the urgent need for humans to repair their relationship with nature.
Rendered in silvery greys and deep blacks, the prints are luminous in quality and reveal the rich tonal range of natural light. Each image is an invitation to consider the potential of landscape, whether that be the shimmer of condensation on a branch, the close knit canopies of foliage, or the shift in natural forms on reaching the coast where he captures both the force and stillness of the sea.
Technically, Hughes also pushes the limits of his craft, exploiting the photomechanical in the darkroom, often layering imagery to create new, magical scenes that evoke the emotional reality of his environment."
