This was a tough one! Lee from Krapwerk asked me to come down to take some shots of them, but it being September with an early start and limited stage lighting meant the room was pretty much daylight for much of the first two bands, and then really dark for the final band. I always […]
Somehow I managed to chew through over 500 shots for just these 2 bands, none of which came out particularly good. Poor focus, confusing lighting…. but.. ZOMBIES! Still, I suspect part of my unhappiness with this set was having to wade through all the shots to find ones I liked. Perhaps I should limit myself more […]
My second Sofar Sounds, and this time I’d been invited along to photograph. Ok, queue ridiculous nerves and feeling completely unready for it! Oh well! Here we go! The venue this time? Upshot Espress, a little cafe bar with about the same amount of space as Vintedge did at the previous one. This time though, […]
My first ever Sofar Sounds, and what a wonderful little idea this is. Secret gigs around the world, no idea who is playing. Just sign up, and it will be held somewhere you wouldn’t expect there to be a gig. This one turned out to be in a tiny antiques store less than […]
Back in 2014, Andy from We Dig For Fire, who’d I’d photographed a bit a few times over the years, dropped me a message on Facebook and asked if I’d be willing to come and do some promotional shots for them at some point. After a bit of umming and ahhing I decided I would […]
I took these photos so long ago, it’s kinda of a relief to get through them! I clicked over 400 photos at this gig, which has made getting through them a bit of an epic battle, especially combined with the back pain I’ve caused myself post the tramlines processing marathon. Still, done now! Some of […]
A last minute juggle of my plans meant I could head on down to take some photos at this little acoustic gig at The Bowery. Although the stage area looked nice and well lit at first, when Jack Athey pulled his chair up, I realised that they would be entirely back lit. Perfectly atmospheric for […]
An update! Since doing all those photos for Tramlines, my back has been quite sore! I’ve put this down to hunching over the laptop every night tidying up photos for so long, so I’ve avoided finishing up some gigs I’ve shot. Oops. I’ve got about a 5 gig backlog now, so its about time I […]
Finally. Got through them all! It took Sunday a little slower, even though slower still meant 20 bands, but over 8 venues. Due to quite a few of these shots being taken in West Street Live, which had the same blue leds burning away at the stage, I’ve been a little more experimental with some […]
Wow, that took a long, long time. 710 photos, all from Saturday. 27 bands, in 11 different venues, boiled down to 198 different pictures. It’s taken me over 3 weeks to get through them. I hope you all like them! (Just Sunday to go now… urk!) Lizzie Goddard Perfectparachutepicture The Blews The Joint The Stoops […]
