Gathering together posts about music, gigs, events, exhibitions, museums and so on, which may be of wider interest.
Reading Time: 2 minutes This is a charity event I shot recently for Elliot’s Footprint – a charity providing support for parents after losing a child. I have decided black tie (or even red tie) events are the most difficult thing to shoot as you usually have black suits …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I have visited Saltaire a few times, but never until now known about the little tramway up to Shipley Glen – this dates from 1895 and operates narrow guage cable hauled trams. It is a lovely ride up through the woods. Up at the top …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Another dose of clubbing shots from my regular haunt Remedy at Beaverworks in Leeds. I have played about with some zoom burst effects recently, and as always using my long shutter speeds for full psychedelic effect… This was an interesting night – the planned event …
Reading Time: 2 minutes This night was quite interesting as a photographer. I felt off all night – my back hurt and I had a dodgy stomach. I’ve managed some quite good shots, but it is interesting that in many of them my detachment from the night comes out …
Reading Time: 2 minutes This was an interesting and challenging night. It’s a new night at Beaverworks, where I often shoot and had the interesting set up of a Metal and Alternative night (with live bands) at the top, and a techno night in the basement. There is actually …

Reading Time: 2 minutes For one of the regular nights I shoot at, Remedy, Hallowe’en is the big one where they pull out all the stops to create a crazy and over the top event. I produced nearly 150 images from this event – this is just a small …
Reading Time: 2 minutes An event I always try and get to is the annual Night Light in Leeds, where various art installations and projections take over the city. I was all set to be really organised this year and plot a sensible path through the events, especially as …
Reading Time: 3 minutes I was invited down to this lovely intimate gig at Wharf Chambers to shoot a set of images capturing the night. Something a little more chilled than many of the events I shoot for this project – I almost didn’t include it on this site, …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve been ridiculously busy recently, rearranging and redecorating my house, so not had a lot of time to either shoot, or even get things on the site. But, slightly delayed, here are a few recent shots. Each year I try and do some shooting for …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Took my self and my kit down to the warm up party for this year’s Unity Day for a few beers and some shooting. Here’s a few shots from the night.
