    This episode of Vision of Sound is in collaboration with The Carvery Studio. The award-winning Carvery Studio have recently relaunched their website to share stories of craft and creativity driven by music. I first met Frank Merritt, who owns The Carvery Studio, in 2014, when I photographed him & his old boxer dog Roy, for a feature about London’s Mastering Houses. 6 years on and it’s great to be collaborating with The Carvery Studio again for this very special episode of Vision of Sound, which features the legendary photographer & director B+. For nearly 30 years, B’s camera has captured artists like Snoop Dogg, Biggy, Erykah Badu, Fugees, Quantic and Damien Marley. Many of the artists he’s portrayed were in the early days of their career in New York & L.A, where B now resides. He’s the author of two books, including the brilliant Ghostnotes: Music of the Unplayed and is a professor at University of California, San Diego. Along with Eric Coleman, B is the founder of Mochilla, a company making brand campaigns, mix CDs, documentaries like Banksy's Exit Through the Gift Shop, and over a hundred record sleeves. In this special Vision of Sound & The Carvery Studio podcast; B shares some stories about the making of some of his photos & record sleeves including Blazing Arrow by Blackalicious and Company Flow’s Little Johnny from the Hospitul: Breaks & Instrumentals Vol.1 A photographer driven by the connections between things, people, and places; B+ is an incredibly inspiring artist and thinker and I’m super excited to be sharing our conversation with you today.
