Portugal -

At the end of October I went away with my boyfriend and his family for a much needed holiday to Portugal. This was my first holiday in about 5 years, and it was so nice have a break away from everything. Of course I took my camera, and at first I hesitated in taking photos, I wanted to be enjoying the holiday rather than snapping away every 5 minutes. I started to take a few photos here and there, and then by midweek I was shooting as much as possible...

We spent the majority of our time around the Carvoeiro area of the Algarve, but otherwise we were exploring as much as possible...

Vans Warped Tour UK 2015

The last week of October I headed off to Portugal for the week, (my first holiday in about 4/5 years), so I barely had any time after shooting Vans Warped Tour to get many photos online. I've now caught up with everything and have the full sets up on my Flickr. I only used my 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, and this time rather than my 50mm, I borrowed a Tamron 35mm f/1.8 to allow me to get some wider shots and give myself a bit of a challenge.

Here's some of my favourite shots, more will be featured in the next issue of Darkus Magazine.

Sonic Boom Six - No Man No Right Video Shoot

Last weekend I headed down to London to the Macbeth of Hoxton, to take a few behind-the-scenes shots at Sonic Boom Six's video shoot, for their new single 'No Man No Right'. Find out more here.

With any video shoots you can't use flash during filming, so you have to work with the light you've got. There were no constant lights, only a tiny amount of natural light and the rest was the lighting from the venue. I set my ISO fairly high and used apertures of f/1.8 and f/2.8.

I only stayed for a couple of hours as I had to head over to the Islington Academy to shoot the Silverstein/Boy Sets Fire show straight after. Here's a few shots...
