About Me

Music Photographer.Have worked with many inspiring bands and wonderful people in London, mainland Europe and Australia. Favourites to shoot will always be the Scissor Sisters for their sheer extravagance, Status Quo for their playful antics and the big guns Foo Fighters / The Who / Motorhead / R.E.M for their smoke and lighting. Festival photography addict and sucker for any opportunity to shoot Robert Plant.

Official Levi's BarFly and One's To Watch UK Tour photographer for 2006, featured in three london photography exhibitions to date including featured photographer at shared Proud Galleries Exhibition in 2005. Images syndicated through Getty Images and Hottwire Media Corp and published in newspapers, magazines and online media worldwide from Rolling Stone to National Geographic, books, promotional material and installations in The Hard Rock Cafe Orlando.
Motivated by love of the musical image and "the pit crew", that fantastically talented and spirited bunch of photographers I've had the good fortune to work with.

Currently based in Sydney & London. See iamlou.com for portfolio and hi5.com for bio details.
