Headshots and Portraits

At Booheads Jim and Sam Devereaux were down for some album reproduction photos but I managed to grab so quick headshots too.

Jim is an excellent Elvis impersenator and he also performs with his Brother Sam as a Blues Brothers Tribute too.

I’ll have those images up shortly, watch this space.

Published Photography – Beatrix Von Bourbon

Nice to see my work hitting the major press (albeit in Germany)

A few months ago I was working the Ministry of Burlesques High Tease at Komedia.

Beatrix Von Bourbon was on stage a couple of times and the resulting shots made it into a major German newspaper this week.

I’m very self critical (it keeps me grounded) so it’s always nice to find that someone thinks my images are worth going to print for.

Special mention should go to Beatrix too for letting me know about the paper. Unfortunately there are very few people who respect the photographer with work my work turning up in all sorts of places.

Thanks Beatrix!

Stage – The Tiger Lillies

I love low light stage photography.

It’s quite a challenge but when you get it right it can be quite magical. The Tiger Lillies concert however was the darkest show I’ve ever been to.

There was one spotlight for each of the three members of the group. Adrian Stout, the double bass player, kept rocking back and forth through the light and was almost impossible to capture.

Check out my low light photo gallery for more examples.

Pin Up Photography

Diva Hollywood, the artistic, whip cracking burlesque performer was in for a studio session recently.

Lots of work was completely, mainly retro and vintage, some easy and some challenging….

…..some involved cracking two bull whips and setting off all the local dogs too!

A great day regardless!

Just a selection of images from the fabulous Ministry of Burlesque show at Komedia this October.

A great night along with the ‘Mister Blanche Dubois’…..I haven’t heard as many screams of abject horror from the audience since Pavabotti.

Great stuff!

More images can be found on my facebook page.

Tonight I’ll be at Brighton Komedia for the Ministry of Burlesque’s High Tease.

I’ve been doing this show for almost a year now and it’s amazing to go see…but tricky to photograph.

Tonight has the award winning Elle Amour performing, highly recommended.
