update on the Cobden lighting

A while ago, I posted about how lighting can really make or break your images from a music event - here. Well. The month after those shots were taken, I went back and Paul had managed to work some magic and get me one white spotlight that shone onto the artist's faces instead of their bald patches, hurrah! Thanks Paul!

some musical recommendations ...

As it gets colder and darker and Christmas looms, I find myself spending more and more time on the computer, discovering new artists. So I thought I'd share some of them with you :)

Richard Walters - My personal favourites are Elephant in the Room and We Have Your Head. Richard's music really gets under my skin. It comes back to me hours after I listen to it.

Merz - Try Lucky Adam.

First Aid Kit - Two young Swedish teenage sisters. They do a fabulous cover of the Fleet Foxes' Tiger Mountain Peasant Song.

Luke Slott - Luke used to front a wonderful Irish band called Melaton, who sadly broke up before releasing their first album. Luke is a phenomenal pianist.

Florence and the Machine - Dog Days are Over is fantastic. Her voice is astonishing.

Dandelion Wine - New York band. Have a listen to A World Completely of our Own. What a voice he has. A touch of Bruce Springsteen and Rod Stewart.

Happy listening ... x

(sooo close to Christmas now ...!)

I love this ...

Wish I could figure out how to embed it.

Hello lovely people.

After much effort and cross-Atlantic wrangling, my new website is finally live.

As many of you know, I have been shooting musicians for some time now. However, I don't just shoot adults ... with guitars! I love shooting families and children, as well as couples.

I wish more couples would invest in images of themselves, actually. Blurry compact camera pictures taken in the local pub will not stand the test of time, people. Go on, do it, you won't regret it. They don't have to be cheesy ... unless you want them to be.

Anyway, have a gander at the site. When booking, mention this blog post and you will receive 15% off the total order price.

And happy Christmas!!
