Marina And The Diamonds

Marina and The Diamonds is an artist that will be massive for 2010. I was looking forward to this gig for ages as I have her album The Family Jewels . The gig did not disappoint. It was at the Old Fire Station in Bournemouth, the venue was really small and cosy. I managed to get some great images. Loved the UV lighting for the first track and she had loads of energy on stage. After the 3 songs that we allowed to shoot I stayed and enjoyed the gig.  I was shooting for I Like Music

Upcoming Shoots

Sorry not been blogging that much lately, but it has been mental. In the next few week I will be updating the site with loads of new images. In the mean time check out a sneak peek at a couple of shoots that I have been working on. DJ mag cover with New York's Wolf and Lamb, who dressed up in some great costumes. Also Shogun Audio, which was with all the artists on the Brighton based drum and bass label.

Miami 2010

I was commissioned to shoot at the Winter Music Conference in Miami for DJ Mag. I had a great week and managed to cover loads of parties. The pics below are from The DJ Mag party at the Shelborne Hotel, which featured such DJs as Eric Prydz, Steve Lawler, Sharam, Way Out West, SOS, Dennis Ferrer and Nic Fanciulli. It was an amazing day and some excellent music played!

Whist I was there a press conference was called to announce that superstar DJ Luciano would be taking over Sunday nights at Pacha in Ibiza, this is massive news and will change Sundays on the island for sure!

I also managed to get on the James Zabiela boat party. The boat was three story cruiser, which held about 400 people. Luckily the weather was amazing and great sets from Tiefschwarz, Timo Mass and Zabiela made it a perfect afternoon.

More pics will be seen in next months DJ mag so look out for it.

Jamie T

This was a gig that was rescheduled from last year and was my first of 2010. Really up for it crowd and very loud. Some of my other photographer friends had warned me that at Jamie T gigs the crowd are encouraged to throw bottles of urine at the photo pit. I did get hit a few times with something, but it smelt of beer (I hope it was anyway). I was shooting for ilikemusic.com

Surrey Storm

Just before Christmas I was commissioned to shoot Netball Super League team Surrey Storm. The pics are going to be used for website and promotional campaigns. Over the long day we shot about 5000 images!!

More pics and vids from the shoot will be up on my site very soon,

Here is a little more about Storm -

Surrey Storm are the Co-operative Netball Super League franchise for the London and South East Region. Storm replaced Brunel Hurricanes as the London and South East Superleague Franchise in August 2009 and Storm's partner The Surrey Sports Park have since invested heavily in to building a world class squad of athletes as well as developing a new netball brand and vision.

Surrey Storm are captained by the England Co-Captain and global superstar Sonia Mkoloma. Sonia is one of the most feared defenders on the planet and has competed in three world championships for England and has also won Commonwealth Bronze.

Sonia is joined by three further International stars. Storm's England contingent of Geva Mentor, Tamsin Greenway and Rachel Dunn joined Storm pre season after moving from reigning champions Team Bath to join Surrey Storm. All three have over 120 caps for England and Geva Mentor still remains the youngest ever player to have made a debut in the Senior England team aged just 15 

DJ Mag Front Cover - SOS

I was comissioned to shoot the front cover for the Feb edition of DJ Mag. The artists to feature would be SOS who are Omid 16B, Demi and Desyn Masiello. We did the shoot at Ministry Of Sound and for the cover image shot the guys seperately, then put it togther in Photoshop. More images from the shoot will be put up on my main site in the next few weeks. The Feb edition of DJ Mag is out now.

Pretty Green – London and Manchester

Last month I shot the launch party for the Pretty Green clothing label, which is owned by Liam Gallagher. So it was nice to get a couple of days work covering Liam doing some instore signings at the department store Selfridges, which was in London and Manchester.  

Over the 2 days over 400 people that had entered a competition got to meet Liam and get a signature.  Check out the video from the 2 days and you can even spot me in a few frames!  I got some great shots of Liam and the many people that came. Check out the full gallery
