Another year done.

Another year on the horizon

So that's it, the shortest day has passed and another year is nearly over. was 2013 unlucky for some?
Hmm.. floods Earthquakes and strong winds may have given 2013 the feeling of impending doom but there have been a few positives on the horizon.

For a start we have had Amazing waves here in Dorset and water temp is currently peaking at 10 degrees so happy days here.

In all seriousness its been up and down. I think the common thought that 2013 was unlucky for couples to tie the knot has more than a ring of truth about it, although there are local wedding businesses that have claimed to have had a busy year.

We have however photographed some fabulous couples this year and made some great new friends. We have also started to photograph some great festivals and concerts which should get busier for the 2014 season.

so a big thank you to all of those who booked us and worked with us this year, we LOVE what we do and look forward to making new friends and clients.

fingers crossed to a productive 2014

Imagine Dragons BIC

 Imagine Dragons

 So Last week I headed down the local venue to indulge in a bit of Imagine Dragons (for safeconcerts.com)

Its the first time I had seen these guys live, The gig was a sell out and the band played an epic show.

Status Quo live and loud

Rockin all over Bournemouth

So Christmas is upon us and its the time of year when we get some great acts visiting our Dorset coast.

Today its the turn of the mighty Quo. I grew up listening to these guys, in fact Quo and Maiden are the reason I became a musician and been obsessed with music ever since.

I was sceptical at how these guys would pull it of live, just because they have been at it for so many years my initial thoughts were are they still up to the job..........And God damn it they were bloody awesome!!!!

with a sleek clean stage show and 100% high energy I question anyone who would think other wise.

From my point of view, having no monitors in front of the camera was amazing and also the fact that they let us shoot 4 songs instead of the standard 3 proves the Quo are just as professional now as they have ever been, top notch I say.

OK so Its this time of year we generally term as the slow season. This means concentrating on advertising, meeting clients and generally getting ready for next year.

So I thought we would start putting up a few of our recent wedding images on the blog over the next month.

Kitty Daisy & Lewis BIC

Kitty Daisy & Lewis

I managed to bag a few shots from Kitty Daisy & Lewis http://kittydaisyandlewis.com/ at the Bic the other night.

Anyone getting chance to see these guys live, DO IT.  Multi talented and a refreshing addition to modern music.

Really tricky lighting, hence the B&W edits but worth posting.

Stereophonics BIC Nov 2013

Stereophonics 

I was well stoked to get to photograph The Stereophonics the other night for www.safeconcerts.com.

The last time I saw these guys was more years ago than I care to remember, In fact I'm pretty sure I paid under £1 to see them in Sheffield in the mid 90s. so it was great to see their new show at the BIC.

I have to mention that their crew and security were really friendly and It was also great to hook up with one of their truck drivers who was taking a few shots in the pit. (cheers for the coffee dude).

An awesome show to a packed out venue. A bit of a nightmare to photograph due to lots of back lighting and what I like to call The Red Light of DOOM.but a great night.

The Wytches / Future of the Left Nov 2013

The Wytches/Future of the Left

Its been quite a while since I have photographed a real low light gig, and also be able to use a bit of bounce flash in the process.

It was great to catch The Wytches http://www.thewytches.com/ and Future of the Left http://futureoftheleft.net/ on the final leg of their tour in Bournemouth the other night.

Both excellent acts with totally unique sounds (check their sites for more info).
