About Me

I'm a photographer. I'm in no way a professional, but I enjoy what I do. I mostly do live/gig photography, but have been persuaded to do portraits a few times. At the moment I use a Fujifilm Finepix S5500.
all the following special people have used my photos on their profiles, for which I thank them very much

I've had one of my Madison Fallout photos published in the local Evening Gazette supplement
between april and july of 2005 I worked for Creative Photos Ltd. My role was photographer/assistant. The work involved photographing customers of Zanzibar nightclub located in Stockton-on-Tees. The position was neither creative nor challenging as all photos were taken using he cameras automatic settings. I was relieved of my duties in early july, though clear reasons were never given, via the phone.
between april and may 2006 I worked for RGB Technology t/a RGB Labs. My role was shop assistant. Although RGB is a camera and printing shop I did not feel I had enough experience of the technical side of photography and cameras to be able to give advice to customers. I was interesting in learning the printing side of photography but was never given the chance. I made the decision to leave as I am not confident working in a shop environment.
from may 2006 I have been working as a CATI team operator at NEMS Market Research based in Billingham. This job is ideally suited to my needs at the moment as the hours I work are only based on a temporary scale. It means I can still find time to attend gigs and continue with my photography whilst earning enough money to keep me going.
between august and december 2006 I was the volunteer photographer for CSV Media Clubhouse Middlesbrough. We mostly did work with bands at the Arc Unsigned gigs.
june 2007 I am currently working as a First Contact officer at Middlesbrough Jobcentre Plus.

Fallen Phoenix band practice

So tonight work was cancelled again, rather than sit in and be bored I thought I'd go and take some photos of Fallen Phoenix since Andy had asked so nicely if I would. ...
