Rosie Parsons over at ‘The Photography Parlour‘ invited me to write a ‘Behind the Scenes’ diary whilst covering Soundcity. I’m pretty rubbish at writing and my partner in crime Sarah had to practically re-write all my terrible grammar, but its up and live. Go have a quick read if you fancy!
Behind the Scenes at Liverpool Soundcity
DSLR User Magazine
I was interviewed for a piece in DSLR User magazine this month. I shoot Canon mainly and love the 35mm f2.0 that they have in their prime lens range. So if you fancy reading about me geekily rabbit on about it. Pick up a copy.
Loose Moose on Toast
Excuse this post it’s more an excuse to plug the brilliant Loose Moose String band that are rapidly getting bigger and bigger around Liverpool and it’s folk scene. I photographed Alan and Dave at a Transition Town / Crass Routes event at Toast, West Kirby earlier this week before they appeared on the radio a few days later. Seriously, go listen on iPlayer, its a brilliant set and insight into the world of Bluegrass and Old Town.
In other news, some alterations to the website. I’m merging my photoblog into this site. Simply no point keeping the two separate and you’ll be able to get notifications of new posts through RSS and my twitter account. For more on the go nonsense and findings I’ll be posting to my Tumblr account. Ill be taking the images off the old photoblog and forming a gallery archive of everything there in the next few months. Lastly, the print shop and licensing store is gradually building still, I’ve built the frame works for stock Liverpool photographs and now some archives of live music are being upped. You can purchase prints or license these images for commercial use.
Also on the cards is another redesign of this site. Luckily last time I redesigned it was built with future proofing in mind, so the changes will be relatively easy to implement. Only this time, I have a much clearer vision on what I’d like. (He says).
Photo Library
Hello folks, been busy shooting lots of different bits and bobs from hotels to cups of coffee the past few weeks whilst beginning to upload a large archive of images to my new stock agency located here. Photographs are from a whole host of occasions and currently features some Liverpool and West Kirby shots. I’ve got masses of photos that I’m going through and gradually uploading there. You’ll be able to purchase prints and licenses to use them commercially too. So make sure you bookmark it and keep checking on it.
