I spent three years studying at Nottingham Trent University, UK. I graduated in the summer of 2006 with a Ba Hons in photography and I am currently making a career in photography. I have had my work published in national magazines and my work has also been used for DVD still shots and covers which have been distributed worldwide.
I became interested in photography at a young age and was keen to explore the many avenues that photography offers. It was when I saw Iron Maiden at the Birmingham NEC that I knew I wanted to concentrate on the music and performance side of photography. I was lucky enough to be able to shoot Def Leppard for my first collection of live photo's. Unfortunately my equipment was limited at the time and the quality was only as good as the camera I used but the experience I had and the thrill of shooting a top, professional band made it all worth while.
Since then I have had a major upgrade in my equipment and been lucky enough to shoot many more bands and artists such as:
|
|
Korn |
|
|
Zakk Wylde |
Thunder |
|
|
|
|
|
Mitch Malloy |
|
|
|
The Darkness |
|
|
|
|
Live Thru A Lens |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Hives |
|
Lag Guitars |
|
|
|
Fighting Spirit |
Meinl Cymbals |
Heaven & Hell |
The Enemy |
Cradle Of Filth |
My work has been used on some of the respective artists web sites and used for promotional purposes.
As you can see in the galleries, not all my work is music based, I enjoy all aspects of photography including portrait, generic, scenery, landscape and wrestling.
In 2006 I was one of the official photographers for Bloodstock 06' in Derby, UK. I worked with many artists including Fear Factory and Axel Rudi Pell. 2006 saw me attend Drummer Live at London's Docklands where I was working for Promark. I have also worked for Meinl Cymbals at drum conventions throughout the UK.
I have recently started shooting for Lag Guitars. This has taken me around the UK and given me the opportunity to shoot The Enemy, The Holloways, Cradle Of Filth, Just Jack and many more.
2008 see's me taking a new step in event photography. With the purchase of a new Mitsubishii printer, I will be taking my photography services to a new level.
