Last Saturday I headed down to NO.8 DUKES and took some shots of the SURGE DnB night (hosted by Air DnB). As always, I had a great night and it was cool to see money being raised for Mental Health UK at the same time.

On Monday I called into see Tom at Tourism Board Unofficiale to have a nosey at his set up.

After previously purchasing a t-shirt from him and being impressed with the quality and design, I thought I’d call in and see what his production process looks like.

Armed with a GoPro Hero 12, a Rode Wireless Pro mic, and a Leica Q2 Monocrom I walked around Macclesfield Treacle Market to do some street photography. As you can see, I managed to get a couple of decent images, but the main purpose of these experiments is to record and gage how fast I am reacting when capturing a moment that presents itself.

Avions, trains et automobiles!

I recently visited Bénodet in France on a family holiday. It is such a beautiful place. So laid back, and peaceful.

I decided to take my point and shoot and do a bit of street photography.

It’s standard practice for me now, to try and capture the essence of an environment in each shot, or series of shots. To tell the story.

Some images from this month and last Wednesday’s street photography event hosted by Simon Buckley, and Macclesfield Town Council.

I think events like this are great for Macclesfield, because if you’re wondering around with a camera, they allow you to feel less of a weirdo.

Some shots from last weekend at Bluedot Festival…

It was very wet, very soggy, but the music and atmosphere was incredible.

I managed to get some shots of a few artists. Including; Gwenno, Nubya Garcia, Róisín Murphy, Treeboy & Arc, Foxtrap, Jaguar Skills, and Erol Alkan.

I will definitely be going next year too.

A good photo should tell a story. This is my story documenting a great night last Saturday night at Cinemac Live.

The Virginmarys played an epic gig. (As always!) It was great to see Matt playing with them again.

I headed over to the pub for the after party with my pal Beit Nun.

Big up to everyone involved. Events like this are so important for Macclesfield.

Last Saturday I attended a night at NO.8 DUKES.

SURGE and Air DnB Audio hosted an all female DJ line-up all in aid of raising money for Breast Cancer Now.

Big up to everyone involved. A top night, for a great cause.

Since we’re coming to the end of the month, I thought I’d share with you some random street photography I’ve captured over February…

I quite like night crawlin’. I like the quiet.

A bit of street photography taken today at The Treacle Market...

These were taken with a 'nifty fifty' lens, which doesn't have any zoom, so it means you have to get in quite close.

Those that know me, know that I am quite shy, so I do struggle with this. You have to get the balance right; be close to the subject, and not make people feel uncomfortable. But, like most things in life, sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone and crawl through that s**t pipe. (Metaphorically speaking of course!)

I didn't manage to get many today, but I think I'm slowly getting better.

19/02/2023

A beautiful display of colour and light, organised by Macclesfield Town Council, Silk Museum and Macclesfield Community ArtSpace.

I love community events like these. Great fun for all the family to enjoy.

Big up to everyone involved.

29/12/2022

I attended The Virginmarys gig last week Cinemac. It was epic. I ended up taking just over 750 photos!

I've never attended a gig at this venue before, it was really cool. I like how cosy and comfortable it is, and how the audience are able to interact with the artists.

Thanks guys, you were awesome. ⚡️🔥💥
