Taking Christmas Party Photos

Over the years one service I’ve offered is photography for guests at parties. I’ve always sought to get away from the more sterile line-up-up-and-shoot-up look of the typical ‘events photography’ and inject a little energy. Even in a fast-paced photo-taking environment with dozens or hundreds of guests, there’s room for creativity. After all, I’ve taken […]

Getting great photographs at even gloomy gigs

Bristol has a well-supported live music scene with many small venues putting on local and touring acts. The small venues are generally fine about allowing photography so it’s a great way to capture memorable images of up and coming bands. Generally, unobtrusive photography is fine at small venues so you won’t need a press pass […]
