Ed Friction IDJ Cover

I got a call from the guys at Shogan Records in Brighton to see if I could come down and photograph label head honcho and one of the best drum and bass DJs in the country Ed Friction. I have worked with Ed before so it was easy to get a good shot. The photographs would be used for an IDJ Magazine article and a cover shot. We did the shoot in the club Digital on Brighton seafront.  I am very happy how the cover has come out, a bit moodier than I have had in the past (which is good). 

Who The Hell Is Juan Kidd!!!!

I was commissioned to photograph some new press pics for an artist called Juan Kidd. The whole shoot was about not really showing who he is.  Was happy with the out come from the shoot and we had a great day shooting in Stu Stu Studio and on location around the embankment area.  Juan has been busy in the studio and has an album coming out soon on CR2 records. 

Mark Knight M8 Cover


As you have seen in older blogs that I did the new press photographs for Mark Knight. One of the pics from the shoot was used for the cover of the new M8 Magazine. It’s always amazing to get your photograph on the cover and I have been lucky to have a few in the past. Still get a buzz walking into newsagents and seeing it on the shelf!!!!

Space Opening Ibiza 2009



This has to be one of my favorite shoots that I do all year.  The spectacle that is Space Opening in Ibiza has to be seen to be believed. Over 15,000 people, 17 hours of mayhem, the biggest names in electronic music and a real pleasure to photograph. I was working for Pioneer once again and we have started compiling images for the new 2010 calendar, which I am really excited about.

 

I also used the 5D Mark II to shoot some HD film of the event. I have to say that the camera is unbelievable and I am so happy how the pics and vids are coming out. We will have a video to go with the calendar too, which will be posted online later in the year.

N-Dubz


Ok now there are times that i have to cover a gig and not be into the music, this was one of them. However they were great to shoot and full of energy. I did feel bloody old though as the crowd were mostly 13 year olds screaming!!



The Enemy - Southampton Guildhall




Another live gig for the website ilikemusic. They are one of my favourite bands so it was great to photograph them.
