I Live Hip Hop with Kendrick Lamar

March 16, 2016 by admin | Comments Off

I Live Hip Hop was a special, secret event put on by Brighter Sound and Reebok at Manchester’s Wonder Inn. It was a series of creative workshops for 15-25 year old aspiring MCs, producers, DJs and vocalists assisted by some incredible professional artists including DJ Woody, Visceral, G-Kut, Jo Mo, 8 Gold Rings, Elizabeth Vince, Mul and Persia. The talent of the mentors and the participants was mind-blowing. It was a real privilege to watch them work and perform.

To top it all off, at the end of the day there was a surprise appearance from multi Grammy award-winning Hip Hop legend, Kendrick Lamar.

You can see some of my favourite images from the day in the gallery below.

Brighter Sound – Young Musicians Week

February 25, 2016 by admin | Comments Off

Last week I had the pleasure of working with Brighter Sound, an organisation that produces creative music projects and events in Manchester. The project was ‘Young Musicians Week’, an opportunity for young people to work with some amazing musicians and artists including Richard Jupp (Elbow), Natalie McCool, Jenna G, InnaVoice and Burgaboy. You can see some of my favourite shots from the week below.

Brighter Sound also organised the Beth Orton residency last year (also featuring Natalie McCool) which culminated in a beautiful group performance at the end of a week of collaboration and songwriting – you can see my photos of their one-night-only gig here.

I headed on down to Rebellion on Saturday night to shoot my friend’s band, Barbarian Hermit, who were playing a set as part of the Manchester Metal Collective Weekender. It was such a bonkers night and awesome fun. Here are some of my favourite shots from the night.

You can see more of my gig and music photography here and if you’d like to hire me to shoot your gig or event please just get in touch. Prints are also available to purchase on request.

Edit: Due to popular demand I’ve added some more images – enjoy!

The Vernon Sisters

July 11, 2015 by admin | Comments Off

A few weeks ago I was asked to photograph The Vernon Sisters – a trio of hugely talented real life sisters who perform classic songs at events across the UK. This event was at Liverpool’s impressive Rum Warehouse, on the dockside, and included a full backing band and a troupe of dancers. Before the show we were able to squeeze in a quick portrait shoot and, despite being short on time, we ended up with some great shots before their curtain call! A selection of my favourite images from both the portrait shoot and their performance are below. The Vernon Sister’s hair and make up was by the wonderful Bethany Jane Davies and her team at The Vintage Beauty Parlour

Bonobo: A Sneak Peek

March 1, 2014 by admin | Comments Off

Last night I shot Bonobo at the Albert Hall in Manchester. It was an incredible gig – beautiful venue, amazing music, fantastic atmosphere and a truly lovely crowd. I’ve never had so many friendly gig-goers ask me where they’d be able to see my images before so, whilst I’m still editing the bulk of them, here are a couple to whet your appetites…
