In preparation for a wedding I am covering this Saturday I went to the main venue to scout around. It was easy enough to find but I got there I was met by an less then welcoming lady behind reception; in all fairness she may have had a bad day, we’ve all had those! I...

To be honest, I don’t post many photos of children because of the legalities can be complicated, but I just had to ask permission for this particular little girl. Her name is Rowan. I met her and the parents whilst volunteering for a local church’s free Christmas dinner on the 25th. There were quite a...

For the past 3 years now I have adopted a custom of watching The Muppet’s Christmas Carol every Christmas Eve. That is when Christmas officially starts for me; I go round to my good friends the Jeffries and they host a gather of like minded people who also like to eat, drink (lightly) and watch...

Pushed at High ISO.

Before I got my D3, I always joked to Kelly that it was called the wrist breaker because of it’s size and weight. The irony did not escape me when yesterday morning at 5.30am I woke up to a my right wrist in absolute agony, so much so that something had to be done immediately;...

Friday was an evening I had noted on my calendar for quite some time. Two of my favourite local bands were playing in one intimate venue. Also, it was the first time I was taking out my Nikon D3 out on a real gig.
The bands really worked the crowd who were up for it. It...

Over the summer I’ve shot well over 30 bands in various venues. Over that time I felt the need to invest in new equipment, in this case a very specific lens. Previously I’ve been shooting with a 70-200mm F2.8 that has been great for 50% of general shots, but because I’ve been moving into gig...

Todd continues to be an amazing inspiration to me. His photography has an amazing dynamic that I can only wish for! If I become only half as talented as that man, then I’ll be ecstatic! You can see more of these amazing shots at Slipknot @ Mayhem Fest | ishootshows.com: Concert Photography
