I recently shot “In The Flesh”, a Pink Floyd cover band, at the UEA in Norwich. There was a really good crowd and a good atmosphere. I got some good shots and have had good feedback on the work which I always appreciate.

Dean Owners Guitar Party 2010

One of the greatest ways to start a New Year I’d say. I had the pleasure of going to the DOA with my partner who is a guitarist. I was very excited to be able to shoot some really great artists on stage inc. Tracii Guns, the co-funder of Gun’s N’roses, Ray Luzier the current drummer in Korn, Michael Angelo Batio and Pat Baker.
The DOA Party was amazing, held at the Kapok in Tampa, owned by Elliott Rubinson also known as Elliott Dean, who owns Dean Guitars.

D.O.A. is short for “Dean Owners of America”, a club for those who own a Dean guitar or are interested in them. Having starting in 2002, an annual meeting is held each year inviting DOA members from all over the world, to enjoy a weekend of Guitars, Partying, Music, Like minded people, Awesome Food, drink and so much more. The event is completely free but you must be a member of the D.O.A. to attend.

Headmasters Of London

Yesterday I covered the opening of Headmasters Of London’s new Boutique, Beauty salon and Academy. There were over 500 guests, three fashion shows, stalls, a musician, cakes, drinks, a raffle and gift bags. A great evening, the hosts did a great job of creating a lovely atmosphere. The musician was a very talented lady who played various instruments throughout the evening and added greatly to the over all mood of the night as it went on.

The first Formositas calendar has now been made available for you to purchase online. The calendar consists of a series of 12 black and white, artistic nude images. This would make a great stocking filler or even a main gift for christmas.

Louise Collins is the Duchess

admin — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:31:57 +0000

A while ago I was asked to do some live shots for a band called HellCat. They were a Norwich based band who described themselves as “balls to the wall, get the fuck out, foot on the mointer rock mixed with the sweetest folk/country vibe and voice you’ve ever heard”. Nothing could be more true, they had a great sound. I say had because unfortunately they have since split up, the boys have joined other bands and Louise is now busy setting up her solo career .

In a recent interview Louise says about her new music. “I’m still at the development stage with the solo stuff so I’m struggling with genres. The song I’m essentially building the album around is called Green Fires and its quite weird to place. Its heavy on the vocals and I suppose I’ve supplemented instruments for vocals. Basically I’m using what I have…guitar, vocals lots of vocals and all the fun stuff you can do with garageband! Drums, beats and effects.”

She’s got a new website with some new tunes, which so far are sounding amazing as ever.

This is the voice to keep an ear out for, with all the auto-tuning going on these days it is utterly refreshing to listen to someone who’s voice is so naturally beautiful, on stage and off stage.

You can hear Louise’s new songs at http://www.louisecollins.com/ and music from the HellCat days at http://www.myspace.com/hellcatband

Richie Kotzen

I went up to Newcastle over the weekend to shoot Richie Kotzen at the Trillian. It was an intimate venue and a great gig. I would recommend Richie Kotzen to anyone interested in good music. His voice is definitely something else, beautiful.

Enter Shikari

Shot Enter Shikari at the UEA on monday. It was a fantastic gig. I had a really good time shooting them, the atmosphere was enormous, such a great vibe! I really do love my job.

The highlight for me I think, was when some girl threw her bra on stage. Bearing in mind the age group there, it made me snigger.

Thank you to the management and to the band, I really appreciated the opportunity.
