Ben Howard - Southampton Guildhall

Ben Howard has emerged as one of the biggest artists in 2012.  I have to admit I only listened to his music after I shot this gig but can see why many people I know have been raving about him, amazing voice. Shooting the gig however was probably the trickiest of 2012, so dark for 2 songs and then the lighting all over the place for the last.  Not going to moan that much as the show was fantastic and I'm pretty happy with the shots :)

Sub Focus - The Electric Brixton

Just before Christmas I was commissioned by Mercury Records to shoot Sub Focus at the The Electric in Brixton. I knew his lighting and stage set up was going to be amazing so I was really looking forward to shooting the gig. It definitely did not disappoint, visually it is such a spectacle. I think I shot about 2000 images during the hour. The crowd were going mental too, it was a proper rave up.

 

 

Ellie Goulding - Southampton Guildhall

This was my last live shoot of 2012, and what a year it's been!

What a nice way to end it too, with the lovely Ellie Goulding, who was performing her last UK date of her sell out 'Halcyon' tour. I have photographed her a few times before and as ever she was great. I have to say that the lighting was all over the place during the second and third tracks, so it was a bit tricky to shoot, but had I fun.
