Brett Anderson 22.01.10

I was down at the O(2)ld Shepherd's Bush Empire again on Friday night for the Brett Anderson (the bloke who sings out of Suede).

Got a few shots but it was nowhere near as fruitful as OK Go the week before, at least from my point of view. A lot of the shots I got were too similar to each other to warrant using more than one and he wasn't the most animated of characters.

Still it's all about learning at this stage as it was only my second working gig. Also my first using my 40D, on my first full day of ownership, and as I hadn't had a chance to get to know my new bit of kit I wasn't really expecting much.

I got a few shots that I like though and I felt a bit more confident than I did at the OK Go gig so I have a few positives to take away from it.

I've not got anything planned in the way of a shoot for the next few weeks really so if anyone reading this has any suggestions or are in a band and they want some shoots taken then get in touch via www.adam-brown.co.uk

Peace out.

Canon EOS 40D

This is the Canon Eos 40D.


I like it. It's like the 20D, but called 40D and better.

I have one at my disposal but am yet to fully unleash the possibilities which lie within. I'll probably have a go later though and then unless they're terrible put some of the results on here or flickr or something. Should be alright.

Let's talk Business (cards)

Having setup the website and this blog to go alongside the flickr and facebook accounts I already have I thought it was about time I had a fairly decent business card to support me in my (attempted) efforts to gain some contacts.


This is it. I know it could be better but i've seen a lot worse. So just enjoy the wonderous aesthetic which beholds you. You're welcome.

OK Go

Last week I was lucky enough to acquire a photo-pass for OK Go at the o2 Shepherd's Bush Empire for my first proper offical attempt at gig photography. I got a few decent shots and was pretty pleased overall with the whole '3-song, no flash' event! Even if I was slighly overwhelmed by what seemed to be about 500 other photographers, or maybe 20...I didn't have time to count!


I'm hoping to shoot more in the near future but having had this short but sweet and very steep learning curve i'm sure that next time i'll at least have a bit for confidence when it comes to mixing it with the big guns!

Oh and one last thing, if, somehow, you have stumbled upon this blog take a look at my site with links to flickr, facebook and this blog if you get bored and want to read it again.
