Ride The Lasers

Reading Time: 2 minutes Went a a random night out at Beaverworks the other day – Killertrax. It was quite quiet and not 100% my favourite music, but I took a few shots to have a go with the Canon at some club stuff, having not been out so 

Sunniva Brunel Band

Sunniva Brunel Band

Reading Time: 2 minutes I was commissioned to create these shots for Sunniva Brunel’s project, shooting their practice sessions at the College of Music.

Fell Edge Party

Reading Time: 2 minutes Just got back from a little bash up at Fell Edge, up on the moors, courtesy of a couple of friends. Camping, barns, dinner and some bands, all in all pretty nice. As usual I took a few shots for the portfolio. It was dark
