Brilliant to be working with Tmesis Theatre putting together a portfolio of photographs for their press-pack and documenting their recent run at the Unity Theatre, Liverpool.
I have been working with the band Wave Machines for several years - it’s always a stimulating and engaging dialogue, whenever we work together.
This press-shot was published to accompany profile piece in Art Rocker Magazine.
Artist Sam Skinner came to me for some technical expertise to produce this billboard scale image of the boundary of the Daresbury Estate - site of the Creamfields Festival.
We shot the photograph just before sundown using fuji provia medium format film and the really long exposure brought out the eerie atmosphere in glorious colours.
The finished print is seen being installed by workers from billboard poster company Comaish prior to the opening of the Cream Exhibition at the Site Gallery, Albert Dock, Liverpool.
There were lots of other interesting shots before we settled on the boundary image, including this one of a hidden swamp.
Sauce Multimedia commissioned me to deliver a series of photographs which could become the basis of a new website for their client Gemma Aldcroft of Geek Chic.
View Two Gallery owner, Ken Martin, requested I take some photographs capturing their distinctive exhibition spaces and unique architecture, for their forthcoming brochure.
Some quality assured links to colleagues, collaborators and healthy competitors:
