A mad week again, Ill do a big blog post tomorrow with a few snaps of everything, ended with shooting Labrinth, Dot Rotten (why that name hadn’t been snapped up by a black metal band I have no idea!) and Jay Ell Dee (who was great) performing live at O2 Academy, Liverpool.
White front lights, ISO 100 during Jay Ell Dee set too. Bliss.
I haven’t shot a show since December with the Marmozets, but yesterday I managed to catch the last day of Liverpool’s grass roots festival Threshold in the Baltic Triangle. A festival very much in its infancy but growing year upon year, it’s a great addition to the city’s festival rosta. I caught the massive We The Undersigned, who I lost count of how many musicians they had on stage but pulled a big ol’ dancing crowd. Also The Fifth Movement were clinically tight over at The Picket and Organ Freeman managed to pull off the most memorable, fun and unique performance of the night. Well done Threshold, Ill be back next year for the whole thing for sure.
Oh and how cool is Camp and Furnace? First time I’ve been there, sure to be a solid rock in the Liverpool music and arts scene.
Already this year we must have shot 2 dozen portraits of staff, students at LJMU for a variety of domestic and international marketing materials and it’s been a real joy and I don’t mean that in a sucking up manner, it really has been a great chance to kick the new year off and dust off last years cobwebs and begin to put new things into practice. A great batch of genuinely interesting and diverse people. If the year carries on like that I’d be a happy happy man.
This month we’re shooting post graduates…
In other news make sure you check out the previous post with the rally candid’s in. I blogged it in the dead of night and you may have missed it. I haven’t travelled anywhere since then, but that looks like it’s going to change with a trip to Oslo with doomsters Conan is on the cards. I’ve never been anywhere that way before so I’m extremely excited about it, as are the Conan guys who are flying in especially to support the mighty Sleep!

Fashion/Editorial piece for Issue 2 of Spiel. Super shoot with the lovely Kerryn Grady (who has her new website online at last) and the excellent Manachain from Boss. Shot in Brookhouse Studio in West Kirby (their site is going live next week apparently). Super special thanks to Hollie Edwards for assisting too! (More news with Hollie in the coming months too!)
Goodwood, UK – Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia – 10,000 miles all for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Here are a collection of the more candid snaps from the trip. The gallery at the bottom of the post contains a small narrative to what we did, what was good, what was bad.
