Tramlines Festival 2013

Had a great Tramlines Festival this year which as Head of Photography gives me a chance to roam the city's venues at will meeting lots of new people and doing band photography - something that got me into photography in the first place. Also a great opportunity to meet up with my fellow photographers and get to know knew ones.

Promotional Shoot

Promo shot this evening with Dale Storr and his band at Yellow Arch studio. Hoping to get some good ones. Got a few ideas and it's far from my first shoot with him :)

Tramlines 2013

Putting the final touches to organising the photographers for this years Tramlines festival taking place in Sheffield 19-21 July. I suspect this year is going to be scorching :/ - all I need now is the list of what the Tramlines people want covering specifically by the photography team.....

Choir Shoot and other photography stuff

This weekend I'll be photographing a choir at St John the Baptist church, Hillsborough and then a stint at the Viper Rooms later on Saturday evening. As well as trying to organise all the other photographers working at the Sheffield Tramlines festival next weekend. Hopefully it will all go smoothly :)

Wedding party, club shoot and child portraits

Quite a busy weekend for my photography, first there was a wedding party evening do shoot, followed a couple of hours later with my usual stint doing club photography at the Viper Rooms, and a child portrait shoot on Sunday. Best get processing the photos :)

Tramlines festival

One of the things I'm heavily involved in is Tramlines. As Head of Photography it's my job to ensure optimal coverage of the festival and usually involves me organising around 30 volunteer photographers to cover the event over the 3 days. This time of year is when it's time to sort out the coverage and photographers. Sounds more glamourous  than its is but it's something I enjoy. Obviously I also get involved in the actual photography too during the festival. AAA pass has its uses :)

Photo Shoot - The Colonel

Some photos of my shoot with 'The Colonel' in a tank that I did last week are available here.

Wedding Photography

Had a few bookings for my wedding photography this week including one at Fisher's in Baslow and a last minute evening do on Saturday of a couple who got married in Las Vegas. I particularly like photographing the evening do's as I think it's a great opportunity to capture candids when everyone is a little more 'relaxed' and letting their hair down, I think often these are the best photographs. Following that I have my usual Saturday night club / party photography to do at the Viper Rooms. A busy day Saturday!

Summer Fair, Wortley Hall - Sheffield

I shall be selling landscape photographic prints this Saturday 06/07/13 at Wortley Hall, Sheffield. This is the first time I've actively tried to sell any of my landscape photos at an event such as this so it should be interesting. I've sold quite a few landscape photos that people have asked me for in the past so I've chosen the ones that I know have sold. Might inspire me to get out and do more landscape photography which whilst time consuming I find rewarding.

I though't I'd start a blog detailing my photographic exploits to compliment my website and provide an insite into my photography.
