Lawrence has photographed Paul Weller throughout his solo career, and has also worked with The Smiths, Oasis, Ian Brown & others

This one was taken on the 2001 Days of Speed Tour. We really like the crop and the lighting on this - it puts the emphasis onto his knees, feet, the stool and his guitar. There's great movement in this picture: see how Paul's foot is caught mid bounce by Lawrence.

This was taken at the Manor during the recording of Stanley Road. Here Paul seems engulfed by the piano, microphones and other studio equipment framing his face in the photograph. He's oblivious to it all though, totally immersed in the music playing back through his headphones. Note the Beatles songbook close to hand, also reflected in the inner lid of the piano.
