Photo shoot with Delica Black

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 15:23:56 +0000

I worked with the guys from Delica Black and shot some new promo photos for them in and around Crystal Palace Park. The weather seemed really crappy when we first arrived and I thought we would be spending the time shooting in the rain but it stopped and we were lucky to shoot with some really dramatic cloudy sky in an awesome location.

The guys are super nice and it was really good working with them. One of those shoots that don’t really feel like work but rather a good time just hanging out. The only give away for me is the heavy gear that I have to lug around.

Anyway, the guys have just released an EP which is available on iTunes and I think it’s definitely worth giving a listen to and it’s made me excited for the guys live set.

I was assisted by Robin and Maya on this shoot and we filmed a few short clips with my Lumix “Happy Snapper” again which I have quickly snapped together. The sound in the beginning isn’t the greatest and the buzzing sound in the background was thanks to some guy and his remote control car that he was doing donuts with.

Isle of Wight Photoshoot with Adelphia of Kings

Ashley Hoy and Guy Brackenbury of the band The Glass Empire have made a few line up changes and started a fresh as a new band called Adelphia of Kings and the change definitely seems for the positive.

I worked with Ashley and Guy a few times before already on shoots so they booked me to travel down and shoot with them in their home on the Isle of Wight which was a super cool experience. We made our way to a few locations that they had in mind and some of them came with difficulties but we made a plan and the day was a good one.

We were shouted at by security, stared down by rams, flirted with by miss bo peep and taught how to rally drive by Guy himself.

The guys are working on their new MySpace now so I will post the link to that as soon as it goes live as well as post a link to the rest of the photo set when that goes up.

For now here is a short video of the day filmed with my wife’s Lumix “Happy Snapper” and I suck at editing so excuse it.

Good times.

London Band Photography

For those of you that don’t know, I have a blog dedicated solely to the work I do with Musicians / Bands / Artists. Although I shoot around the world, most of them started since I moved to the UK at the beginning of this year and that is why I have decided to use the website address that I did. The blog is on www.londonbandphotography.co.uk and I try to keep it as up to date as I can and although this is hard (because in the end I am a photographer and need to shoot photographs) I do my best to get stuff up there when I can. It covers live show, portrait, studio and promo photography with bands. Some of the photographs have to wait until they are published or used where they were shot for, but these will be added as time goes on.
