Corporate, events & Other Photography
Having played in bands prior to picking up a camera, I channelled my creativity in to photography after I fell out of love with the music industry and herding sheep. It was inevitable then that I would turn to live music photography as my first stint behind the lens. Winning the first ever NME magazine live music photographer of the year competition, and while also enjoying shooting themed events as a hobby; I inevitably moved towards corporate conference and similar event opportunities to pay the bills. This saw me become the official photographer at the St Patrick's Day Parade in Birmingham (which is the 3rd biggest in the world!) for many years before moving away from the Midlands. I've also travelled the UK as part of logistics teams for any given corporate event, which could be team building days, golf days, holiday excursions, award shows, or of course, the biyearly conferences. Moving up to North Wales to concentrate on portrait photography and Splash Point Photo Photography Studio, I've mostly taken a step back from corporate and event photography, but if the right oppertunities present themselvews, I'm happy to jump back in! I also love lurking in the shadows, so capturing BTS (behind the scenes) stills of movies, shows and capturing creative angles and real smiles at events is something I love, however, I'm not interested in the formalities of shooting weddings or family events. My favourite event style is definitely standing back and capturing those real emotions as situations unfold. Those moments that when you open them up on your computer to review the event after, you smile all over again.
