A Conversation With Folaju

We sat down for a coffee with the London-based photographer. There’s even a 2 Chainz reference.

Wandering Around Little Venice

posted by on 11/06/2012

It’s not quite the same as Venice in Italy but glorious in it’s own way. Many of you have probably chilled around the dutty Camden lock area on a hot summer’s day, if you’re looking for somewhere emo/drug-free then Little Venice is your spot. I headed down there with the lady in my life (always wanted to drop that MJ lyric, swiss cheese) yesterday to photograph a new feature. It’s such a peaceful area consisting of MTV cribs worthy houses, quirky little boats and cafes on boats. After conducting research, a one bedroom apartment in this area costs around £600,000 so um, that will require a mortgage of £200,000. Who’d like to sponsor a brown dude trying to make it out the ghetto of Newham? Sponsor a brother. I’ll photograph your wedding and your future kid’s weddings for free. Hop on after the cut.

Little Venice is located in between Warwick Avenue, Maida Vale and Paddington, a beautiful little area around Browning’s Pool. It was coined by famous poet Robert Browning in the 18th century. We were actually modelling and shooting for an upcoming feature. With scenery like this, even I feel confident in front of the camera. Everyone focus on the background haha. Enjoy the imagery.

Incase you ever want to go, here’s a map. I think we’ll start doing this more often in our posts to help y’all out. Photographs by me and her, my portfolio site is coming very soon. It’s the reason I haven’t been posting as much original photography on here as of late, you’ll see the fruits soon.

Honestly, I just love taking photographs on day’s off like this. Just wondering around the city whilst capturing moments and memories….

Click play on the song above from a brother – Joel Baker.

Customary shot of roses on a summer’s day.

Great place to go for a jog during the day.

Things of Instagrammable nature spotted.

Nostalgic memories of a television filled childhood. Rosie & Jim.

A rare full-length photograph of me. On the site that is, I’m usually the one on the other end of the camera.

A very special bag feature coming soon. It broke my bank account.

Tea + scones with strawberry & cream + her. ON A BOAT.

God bless Nike Sportswear for the summerized destroyer. It’s got the classic Harrington vibe to it, I’ve customised the pocket with a camo pocket square. All in the details.

My favourite pair of shoes – I’ve had these Clarks Desert Boots for over 3 years. So dope, right?

View from the boat. Browning’s Pool.

I’ve read 6 books since the start of April. So before you come at me with the book purist talk, how many have you read in that time? So handy for the underground.

The face off.

I had to take this one on the sly. Cute old couple. Love is timeless.

And my future home. Hope you enjoyed the photography.
