The next image taken from my visual diary features my good friend Oscar (who also happens to be a very talented photographer). I shot this in Champagné, France amidst the same storm that engulfed us on our bike ride around the local villages. This time he covered up with a raincoat, see through of course! I've always loved the landscape of rural France. It has a certain eeriness to it that I haven't seemed to have found anywhere else! It's totally recognisable!

"Silence". This image is from a project that I shot with Vauxhall and Katy England. My images were exhibited at Somerset House in London alongside the film that Katy England had made for them. Out of the 12 images that were exhibited this was my favourite. The tattoo says everything about the image, Silence – a moment captured away from the madness of filming.

Good afternoon all, this is @cameronalexanderstudio taking over the @photoworks_uk account for this week! Sorry for the delay on my posts today, I'm decorating my house and covered in paint. This image is of my uncle Alfie. I shot this on Christmas Day 2011. You can see he has bruises and scratches, these are from being attacked and beaten the day before I shot this. All because he refused to give some youngsters a cigarette. This image is taken from a body of work I have been making since 2007 called "Sugar Town". The project showcases my family and the people and places that make up the town I grew up in. I was born in Crewe, a railway town in the North West of England. I've always been visually enamoured by my hometown and so this project is still something I shoot for every time I visit! #sugartown #photography #BPB16 #instagramtakeover #cameronalexander

Trevor under the motorway. I shot this image on probably one of the hottest days I can ever remember. We went out exploring and managed to make our way under the motorway down a gap through the gate. I took this image of us running back past the motorway as we were spotted on some private land across the way. I didn't realise at the time of shooting this that i managed to perfectly time Trevor in front of the sunlight beaming ahead so I was super happy when I scanned it through and found this! This image is a pretty perfect representation of what my visual diary is about, the everyday and the other day. This is @cameronalexanderstudio taking over and guest editing the @photoworks_uk account for the week. #cameronalexanderdiary #cameronalexander #instagramtakeover #BPB16 #photography
