We Are The In Crowd & Never Shout Never

As a big fan of We Are The In Crowd, even after shooting them at Hit The Deck just over a week before, I couldn't miss the chance to catch them live again when they played at the Institute in Birmingham. I never ever get bored of listening to this band and seeing them live, and for the second time I was luckily enough to get an interview with them. Myself and Teri Oakshott boarded the WATIC/NSN tour bus and got chatting to Taylor Jardine and Jordan Eckes. You can read the interview on altsounds.com here

The live review and photos are also on altsounds.com and the full set of photos from this show are on my Flickr






Never Shout Never





Hit The Deck Festival 2013

Although this blog is a month delayed it's gotta be done. This year I was super happy to get to shoot Hit The Deck Festival again after having such an amazing time shooting last year's festival. Although the line-up wasn't as great as last years, there were still enough bands I wanted to see/shoot on the line-up to make it worth while.

You can read Teri Oakshott's review of the festival with my photos here on altsounds.com

Here's some of my fav shots from the day!

Made Clothing

I am very proud and excited to announce that I am a part of the Made Clothing Family! This one has been in the works for a while, so I'm glad for it to be finally all up and running and to have shot some stuff!

Made Clothing is a new and independent clothing company that launched last month, created by 3 of the boys from Taking Hayley (Levi Keeling, Tom Paton and Alistair Keenan) and friend Chris Driscoll. The guys all have a huge passion for music and high quality clothing and standing out from the crowd.

I've known Levi for a while since meeting him a good few years back shooting one of his previous bands for a Uni assignment, so this means alot that the guys wanted me in on this one!

With that said check out the site and buy some clothing!!

 Last month ahead of the launch we headed to Cannock Chase to shoot some lookbook shots (as you can see on the site!) Big thanks to the boys for making me a part of this and to the lovely models Scarlett Ward and Leah Hills, not forgetting the lads who posed as well!

Here's some shots from the shoot!










Ceri Collins Helps Harry Help Others

Last month I took some promotional photographs for a good friend of mine, singer songwriter Ceri Collins. Ceri had decided to write and release his solo album in aid of the Help Harry Help Others Charity. It was such a pleasure to be able to contribute to this project knowing that it's going towards a good charity.
