Doing Something Interesting?

Invite me, I would like to photograph it. Unlike other photographers I don’t charge for my work (though I may ask for expenses). I earn my money selling books of interesting photographs and for that, I need interesting things to photograph. What’s Interesting? It could be anything, and I mean anything – hen nights, conferences, litter picking – anything (expect weddings). The only criteria is that it’s something important or special to you. So not a normal day in the office (unless you work somewhere interesting like a nuclear power station). Bands, DJs and Festivals I love live music so pretty much any gig counts as interesting. A Unique Way To Make Your Event Special Inviting me creates a unique record of your event and all my photos are made available use on social media by anyone. This includes venues, bands, customers and colleagues. Expenses? I’m based in Nottingham. As a rule of thumb, estimate £2 per mile to your event from Nottingham City Centre. Obviously things vary depending on circumstances and for charity / community / progressive political events, we can often do it for free. No Harm In Asking No sure? Just ask, the worst which happens is that I say no, and I rarely say no unless I have other commitments.

Festival First

I had just emerged from behind the main stage when I saw something I’ve never seen in 25 years of festival going. A full on fist fight between two women. It took me a moment to process what was happening…

Wistful

I don’t often direct people how to pose but “look wistful” seemed to work. Cheap Dirty Horse, Manchester, Fuel Cafe, 30th March 2024
