About Me

Im 25 years old,i love photography, and im also a music fanatic,I first started photography during A levels at reigate college in 1998-2000 I then took a gap year and started a photography national diploma at the Arts institute in Bournemouth, Where i did reportage/documentary/landscapes, you can find my final year project on my old website:-www.maxtphotography.co.uk you can also see my first attempts at gig photography, I tried to get into a degree course after the ND but was refused.After The arts institute i did odd jobs and had a brief go at being a runner for a tv Editing company during this period i realised that i wanted to get back to photography again which is when i started doing gig photography,Im working (freelance) for a live music photography agency and have had loads of photos used in gig reviews/band articles for national newspapers such as the guardian/sunday times/the times/evening standard/independent/the sun/daily mirror/Lite/london paper/daily mail. and ive just been told That Q Magazine want to use me for gig reviews.hope you like the photos!Im now looking for local bands (london area) for promo photos to add to my portfolio so if you like my gig photos and want some pics for your website/myspace get in touch!I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
