Reading Time: 2 minutes Didn’t seem to take very meany at Sunrise this time. But here’s a few.

Interstellar

Reading Time: 2 minutes I have been out and about in the clubs again recently with this set from Sunrise at the West Indian Centre. Not a massive amount to say really, other than that I am quite proud of the set I got from here.

Remedy  – March Free Party

Remedy – March Free Party

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 

A Detached Night

A Detached Night

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 

Remedy – January Free Party

Remedy – January Free Party

Reading Time: 2 minutes Another instalment of the place I shoot most – Remedy at Leeds Beaverworks. I only really have half the night from this one and did not take many shots, as I was very tired and slouched about backstage for quite a while. I was also 

The Full Works

The Full Works

Reading Time: 3 minutes Every year, Beaver Works which is one of the venues I shoot at regularly, hosts a ‘Mad Friday’ party, bringing together many of the events which take place there throughout the year. This year the event fell on my birthday, so I had to go, 

Dirt Vs WYTM

Dirt Vs WYTM

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 

Hallowe’en in Space

Hallowe’en in Space

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 

Tinnitus

Tinnitus

Reading Time: < 1 minutes Just a quick one – after light night I ended up in a little techno night. Some girl (half) jokingly commented that it was her turf, so I thought I’d take a few shots  – mostly because I was a bit drunk and irritating, but 

More Waterfront Adventures

More Waterfront Adventures

Reading Time: 2 minutes …long term project to shoot the canal network in West Yorkshire. Some of this I manage to do with the toddler in tow, as these in Wakefield, where there is also a lovely play park outside the Hepworth Gallery.

I will be making these into a book some time. What is interesting is the differences in my editing style …

Alien Landscapes

Alien Landscapes

Reading Time: 3 minutes Kodak Ektachrome Professional Infrared EIR Film has become a bit of a holy grail for experimental photographers, and I have seen it command prices of over £100 on ebay. I was lucky enough to get hold of a roll in a mixed bundle of old films (along with 2 HIE Black and White infra-red rolls for about £14 – I guess the guy didn’t know what he had!).

EIR is a ‘false colour’ technical film, coated on an Estar base with a sensitivity from 380-900nm – this covers the full visible spectrum and some of the near-UV and all of the near-IR range. Near Infra-red wavelengths are rendered as a deep visible red, and due to the ‘Woods Effect’ (reflection of n-IR wavelengths from foliage) this means that foliage comes out in this colour creating strange and bizarre visual effects.

Through Moving Windows

Through Moving Windows

Reading Time: 3 minutes I spend a lot of time travelling on busses and trains. Looking out of the windows provides a unique view of the surroundings which is detached and dispassionate, a different reality. You see places that you may walk through on different days, or that you
