Public Image Ltd - O2 Bournemouth


When I saw that PIL were performing at Bournemouth's O2 Academy I requested to shoot the job for Ilikemusic straight away. John Lydon is a music legend and I've always wanted to photograph him. I have to admit I was not feeling the music (definitely prefer the Pistols) but he (as you would expect) was an amazing performer, with great stage presence. I wanted to shoot some close ups too as he pulls some great faces.

The only major moan I would have is that the production was pretty crap with the lighting being quite tricky to shoot. Pretty happy what I got in the end :)

Nina Kraviz - DJ Mag Cover Shoot (Unseen Images)


At the begining of 2012 DJ Mag published my shoot with Nina Kravitz. It was a feature and cover shoot and the reaction to it online has been amazing. Nina asked me to retouch a few more shots from the shoot that she will use for press purposes. Really happy how everything came out :)

The Stone Roses - Heaton Park


This was a gig that I thought I would never see. I was made up when they announced in 2011 that they were reforming, after many years of fall outs between band members. The Roses performed over three nights to around 200,000 people at Manchester's Heaton Park. The gig I was at was amazing, I really did not know what to expect as in the past I had seen Ian Brown live and he was not that great. However his vocal was spot on and the band put on a great show. The night I had a pass for the heavens opened just before they went on but it did not put a dampener (sorry for the pun) on anything. Production for the event was as expected amazing and really happy with the images I got.

I also shot Beady Eye who were supporting the Roses. These images will be blogged in the next few weeks.  All in all an amazing day, which I will never forget. I think this will be in my top 10 gigs of all time :)
