Jazz Juice. A Wedding and Function Music Band

I’m still working through alot of photos, not just the ones from the weekend, a fair few wedding photos too! However I did very quickly tinker with this group photo of Jazz Juice who are an events function band based in Aylesbury. We had a very (and I mean very) limited time to do the photoshoot, but I think I managed to pull it off. Nothing like a bit of pressure to get the heart pumping!
More photos to come, I have to get back to editing some Wedding Photos now.

Jazz Juice recording & photo session.

Life is funny isn’ t it? You can meet someone through someone else and then become good friends and the then business partners. That is the case with Gary Mullins. A universal “solid bloke” and amazing guitar player.
Today, I had the pleasure of photographing his band Jazz Juice during a recording session at Southcourt Studios. It was also THE perfect opportunity to do some portrait shots of him and his band. The actual photos will come soon, but in the meantime, here’s a little teaser…

Photographing music gigs with Pocket Wizards

Last night was my first opportunity to shoot with my new Pocket Wizards and boy did I learn alot. Placement, aperture and power had to be adjusted, but because I had limited setup time on the stage I was not satisfied with the setup. I’ve been going through the shots in Adobe Lightroom, and there are a few I liked. More photos to come soon.

The Bad Cats. A Wedding/Cover band.

While I was photographing a wedding in Wales I happend across the band called the Bad Cats. They are a talented bunch of lads from Manchester. Even though I was photographing a Wedding, I spared a few minutes to capture the band playing, after all, what kind of Gig Photographer would I be if I didn’t take a few shots?
I wouldn’t normally post cover bands (NBS is the only other exception), but I thought why not! It’s the last band I’ll shoot in 2009 and it has been a damn …

Robbie Williams. Reality Killed the Video Star album cover

I used to be a huge fan of Robbie Williams until the pressures of stardom took a hold and he lost direction in himself and in his music. There is alot riding on his “come back” album Reality Killed the Video Star. I’m not going to review the songs, but I did want to point out the cover. It’s a got all the hallmarks of a professionally done album; abstract, subtlety and the retro look I really love. The over exposed gold hue and the classic bike gives it that …

Hitler rants about the Nikon D3x.

Now, never in my lifetime have I ever condoned anything Hitler has said, but in this video I totally agree!! And yes, I know it’s a spoof! I can tell because clearly he’s not heard of the D3s! LOL
Seriously though, Nikon have BETTER get their act together. A few years ago it was about low light, high ISO and low noise. But the goal posts have shifted massively. Canon have been leading this race and I DO NOT want to be left behind. So once again Nikon, sort out your …

I’ll be straight up. I’ve never heard of this band up until 2 hours ago. I was just stumbling around a few websites when I came across this band. They’re proper heavy metal, which is not my cup of tea, however I was so impressed with their energy on this video that I’m now comtemplating going over to to the Nag’s Head just to photograph these lads! What do you think of them? Are they proper rockers worthy of your attention, or are they just rock wannabes? Leave comments below!!

BBC review Bon Jovi’s The Circle

I have been a long time Bon Jovi fan. I know for a fact there are millions of other Bon Jovi fans out there; I’ve been to two of their gigs and you guys are wild in your masses!
I will review Bon Jovi’s album cover very soon, in the meantime the BBC have given a fair assessment of their new collection. I say “fair” because the reviewer clearly isn’t a Bon Jovi fan but at least the reviewer Tom Hocknell remains neutral.
Click here for the BBC’s full review of The …
