Colin Mackey is a Belfast based photographer, specialising in live music and music promotion. With plans of forming his own photographic company still in its infancy, he has already shot some of the worlds biggest DJs and musicians. Recent shoots have included David Holmes, Alloy Mental and Lisa Lashes, as well as The Northern Ireland Dance Music Awards. With upcoming shoots including Radio One's Eddie Halliwell, Calvin Harris and Planet Love 08, he has found the support of an array of artists, with his most recent published work featuring on annesavage.net.
Other projects he has been involved in have included video editing of a number of community based theatrical performances and the creation of visual art pieces for theatrical productions. Examples of existing work will be posted up in the pics section, check it out!
While planning the formation of his own company, he is also a senior photographer for Europe's biggest online dance music and clubbing community, Tilllate.com, in which he tours Northern Ireland's best clubs and shows Europe what Irish nightlife has to offer.
