Lush Creative Showcase 2016
Lush Creative Showcase 2016 - Tobacco Dock, East London
The lovely 'Lushies' invited me along to be one of the photographers covering their 2 day 'Creative Showcase 2016' at Tobacco Dock in East London! It was a jam packed couple of days .... and for anyone saying events are a doddle.... let me tell you, I worked 31 hrs over 2 days (Shooting only.... not counting post processing at my desk over the weekend!!!) .... By the end, i was dead on my feet.... but what an amazingly colourful group of people ! Its always interesting shooting events photography for large corporate companies, as you get a good insight into their whole ethos for work, what makes them tick, and how they treat their staff....! I have to say, of all the companies i've worked for that are this big, these guys really are wonderful. From the CEO down to the junior shop assistants, they are all brimming with enthusiasm and juts general loveliness! They are indeed just LUSH!
Camranger to the Rescue!
I was in beautiful Cambridge yesterday for a Real Estate client... shooting some interiors, exteriors and some surroundings for a new area guide. The client wanted a shot to show the view potential house holders would get out of their bedroom windows .... but before there were any bedroom windows to shoot from .... !? The other problem was that I needed to make it a panoramic shot!.... Zoiks.... what to do? I was originally thinking of using a drone to get the height, but I couldn't then do a pano, nor could I bracket as dusk came down! ?
Camranger and a BIG light stand to the rescue!! My trustee D800 mounted straight onto the light stand thread, camranger attached and up she went! The other thing I was quite amazed about was the range from my ipad to the Camranger!!! .... as you can see here.... it will trigger very far away ... next time I do a job like this, i'll do it from my car in the carpark!! Warmer! :-)

BBBA Awards 2016 Photography at 5 Aldermanbury Square
I shot the BBBA awards last night at 5 Aldermanbury Square, London. I always love doing Events Photography in London, as its usually in a great venue! This was no exception. The views from the 17th Floor across London were beautiful!! Few images here for you
Tankus The Henge, Scala Club
“Bigger, Brighter, Bolder than ever... Its full steam ahead for the Tankus boys.”
I've been crazy busy with commercial work for the last 3 months ... so it was a welcome change to see my old (but young!) friends ... Tankus The Henge last night at The Scala. They were headlining the gig with a new line up, new tunes and a different sound ...!?
I've photographed these lovely lads for a few years now and have become a massive fan of their music and themselves! Top lads, massively talented, and more energy than a nuclear reactor on meltdown! I was apprehensive to hear the new tunes, with new members and new sound, but these thoughts were swiftly blown away within the first minute of them kicking off!
All I can say is ... if these boys are playing near you anytime soon ... GO SEE THEM!! Check out their site here for dates!
