Joseph Ford - The Making of "Paperboy"!

"PaperBoy" was over 2 years in development.  His suit took over a year to create using many rolls of paper, glue and tape (as well as a good deal of blood sweat and tears!).  The shoot took place over 2 days on location in Brighton with locals stopping for selfies on the beach with the extraordinary blue Paperboy!

Our amazingly calm and patient model Sid, spent 2 days sealed inside his paper suit, unable to hear (or see properly) through the close-fitting mask.  At one point almost taking a wrong turn into the sea which would have been disastrous!

Huge thanks to Jaina Minton, Laura Walters, Amelia Ellison, Sid Hanson-Kahn, Woody Cook, Lucas Bonacorso, Jack Cox, George Laycock, Georgia Meinert, Poppy Gooch, Jonny, James Hole, Captain Seadogs Barber Shop and to Fatboy Slim for kindly allowing use of his music for the soundtrack.

Take a look behind the scenes at "the making of PAPERBOY"...

A breath-taking new commission by JOSEPH FORD for SCHÖN MAGAZINE.

Exploring the challenges of teen life, Paperboy is a metaphor for being a little bit different.

The amazing Jaina Minton dedicated an unreasonable amount of her time (blood, sweat and tears!) to creating Paperboy’s suit. Huge shout out to Sid who managed to keep calm inside the Paperboy suit for two days!

Personal: Joseph Ford - Knitted Camouflage

Seth Globepainter is one of the world’s best known street artists. For the last 15 years he has been working around the theme of childhood. Joseph met him when they were artists in residence at MAUSA museum of street art in Alsace last year (Joseph photographed him infront of his work THOR which you can see in his folio.)

Seth had painted a series of murals around the Marché des Batignolles in the 17th in Paris, all based on children’s books which were the perfect backdrop for another playful portrait in Joseph’s Knitted Camouflage series.

Personal: Joseph Ford - ITV Interview

Joseph had the pleasure of being featured on ITV this week. He and knitter Nina Dodd were interviewed on their ongoing personal project Knitted Camouflage.
