V&A London, David Bowie is

This Saturday the hugely anticipated David Bowie is exhibition opens at the V&A in London. It has had a record breaking ticket pre-sales and the reviews are fantastic.

As a rather over excited official photographer I went in on Monday to capture the exhibition specifically focusing on the Environmental Graphic Design for studio HB http://www.studiohb.co.uk/ and for the other team members including AV Designers (Olympic Opening Ceremony & War Horse) 59 Productions http://59productions.co.uk/, 3D Designers Real Studios http://www.realstudios.co.uk/ and DHA Lighting Design http://www.dhadesigns.com/

The grey, orange and black colour palette is a fun and sophisticated nod to Bowie’s Ziggy days and the dramatic projections, sample objects and iconic costumes are a treat to soak up. So for those of you who don’t have an invite to the opening party or cant make it to London before the close in August, here is your own private view…..

….”its the best selling show..oh oh oh……”

Irwin Mitchell Xmas Client Event

Well I know all the festivities are over and we are scooting into 2013 with full throttle but I think this is a nice set of corporate event images worth showing off. The lovely staff at Irwin Mitchell created a really friendly and relaxed do at Northern Stage last month treating their clients to an alternative to the usual round tabled seated format. There was a magician, cartoonist, musicians, free flowing booze & food and of course a photographer capturing the night for them to view on the web this year.

Candlelit Photography at Beverley Minster

On the eve of Christmas eve I drove down to Hull to capture a really moving concert in the spectacular Beverley Minster. Annamaria from AM Live Music http://www.amlivemusic.com/ had got in touch to boost the visual promotion for the 2012 concerts.

The building is utterly beautiful and for those who have never visited, its worth a peep. You could hear a pin drop at moments (and the rustle of my North Face and the click of my shutter :-/ ) and when the choir and orchestra belted out their skills the acoustics were unreal. I have to say I enjoyed the concert as much as the shoot! It was lovely to see little Leia again too. She really is a super star!
