Just point and shoot......

About Me

I have been photographing artists sporadically since the early 80's, and only recently have been working more steadily. I specialise in live shooting, usually around London/SE England, although I do venture further out on occasion. Examples of my work can be found on my website , as well as WENN and Famous Pictures Photo Agencies. In addition, I have done some journalistic work in the form of gig reviews which have been featured alongside my photo work in the local press and on various websites including Riffathon and Optimum Impact .

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Of those I've aspired to meet in my life, David Bowie has proven to be the most elusive so far.....

Music:

Currently listening to a lot of The Fratellis, Arctic Monkeys, Hard-Fi, Sugababes, Siouxsie and the Banshees, David Bowie, Small Faces, Slade, and Earth Wind and Fire. And a special mention goes to this guy for allowing me to be immortalised forever in his video:

Movies:

Star Wars (every episode), Wizard of Oz, Harry Potter (all of them).

Television:

Ab Fab, Catherine Tate, Shameless, Smack the Pony, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Futurama, Simpsons, Family Guy, plus loads of home/household improvement shows. And still mourning the demise of I Love Lucy from British tv screens nearly 15 years ago *sniff*

Books:

Will gladly devour any Hemingway prose, however I'll always feel an eternal bond with Dickens' work.

Heroes:

Lara Croft, of course

McFly In-Store 7 May 2007

These boys have been busy, and keeping me on my toes this weekend.  I was initially going to cover their gig in Folkestone on the 5th as well, but bailed out because I knew that I'd be completely...

McFly Gig 6 May 2007

Can't help it for feeling good tonight.  I got there at 8pm to find free parking right across the road from the venue, my pass was ready and waiting, and my camera gave me no trouble.  And,...

Ocean Colour Scene 1 May 2007

What?  No photo pass?? Not the exact words I relayed to the box office staff, but the statement was being shouted about loudly in my head as I calmly resigned myself to the fact that I...

David Cassidy 8 March 2007

"....went to sleep with you, on my mind...." Recalling an in-store photo call is usually pretty uneventful; unless there is music to be played or some other artistic showing, the artist/author usually...

Jojo 16 January 2007

Just a straightforward in-store shoot, no real drama, no tales of battling the elements and crowds, no comments on any music.  She showed up to sign copies of her single, was very charming to us,...

Dirty Pretty Things 15 December 2006

In all the anticipation of being able to shoot them, I gave little thought to any perils that might befall me.  I spent most of today feverish and hacking like a smoker.  When my car sw...

The Levellers 6 December 2006

A few factors worked against me tonight.  Very strong winds battering the south Kent coast - very precarious when one is driving a subcompact along the white chalky cliffs.  Variou...

The Human League 27 November 2006

There seems to be an 80's revival theme going on in my blog as of late...... I was supposed to see the Human League at a tv taping back in 1984, but because my friend had taken a shine to a certain dr...

The Hitmakers Tour 23 November 2006

Toyah.  I never got to see her perform before, although I was fortunate to meet the charming lady last year.  Her set included decent renditions of covers ("Echo Beach," ...
