Time For Prints

As well as taking the odd photograph I have been known to make films, generally of the short variety. A few months ago I teamed up with a friend of mine to create Backlight Films - we have just released our first short as Backlight Films entitled 'Time For Prints' and it can now be seen on vimeo by clicking on 'Time For Prints'.

I hope you like it!

Live At The Castle

Bizarrely having recently gone global with my new website www.adamrbrownphoto.com, nice plug there, only last week email correspondence took place with Global Media which resulted in me shooting Live At The Castle, a mini festival in the grounds of Leeds Castle near Maidstone in Kent.

Despite harrowing conditions and some questionable event planning I think it went well and i'm pleased with the results! I also got to photograph The Wanted which, as far as I know, makes at least 60% of the population jealous of me. Apparently.

Just days before I found myself at Somerset House shooting Oasis spin-off Beady Eye. When I was still dreaming of being able to photograph bands of any level I thought to myself that all I wanted was to one day photograph Oasis. Obviously that's not gonna happen any time soon, if at all, but when I was standing there with Liam Gallagher just feet away from me and a camera in my hand I couldn't help but wonder how this had all happened. Here's hoping it continues for many years to come!

Also i've made a new background collage thing for my Twitter page which I am perilously close to 1000 followers. So if you want to get more updates than my terrible ones on here, head over to twitter and follow me @adamrbrownphoto

New site!

I have been working on a new website recently which, I hope, is a bit easier to navigate and will allow people looking at the site to see more of it more easily (I think that's just being easier to navigate but whatever).

It is pretty much done, got a few tweaks and it's obviously an ongoing process as I'm sure I will find problems when it comes to uploading new stuff and not just old archived stuff.

Anyway, I would be most pleased if you'd take a look and perhaps even let me know what you think (I am well aware that I'm probably talking to myself but I can dream).

It's over here - www.adamrbrownphoto.com (that's right, i've gone global!)

Thanks.

Eliza Doolittle

Last night I got the chance to photograph the delightful Eliza Doolittle. While i'm happy with the shots I was in no mood to be there as i'd spent the day working dosed up on cold & flu tablets and drinking hot blackcurrant. Needless to say I wasn't best pleased to find at least 10 other photographers plus 2 guys preparing to film the gig.

This may sound silly but I was preparing myself to shoot, whilst feeling ill, for the first time. I assumed that my concentration level would be the same as it had been all day, pretty much non-existent but nonetheless I convinced myself that i'd rather do my best to shoot for 3 songs rather than miss out altogether.

Having got home I decided there was no rush to editing my pictures so sat down to relax and hope i'd feel better. A few hours later I realised I wasn't going to get to sleep any time soon and thought I may as well upload the shots and perhaps have a little look to see if i'd got anything good. Next thing I know it's 3am and i've edited everything i'd selected.

I have no idea what i'll shoot next but as I said on Wednesday I hope it's something soon!

As always follow the links (on the side) to facebook, flickr or my website to check out the results of my saturday night with Eliza.

Interpol & The Pigeon Detectives

I've not posted anything for a little over 2 months now and no one is more angry about that than me.

It's not that I haven't done anything worth talking about but with my website, facebook and twitter to update plus the sending out of images to anyone using them by the time that's all done I usually either don't have the time or just don't want to update something else.

You'll be pleased to know i'm attempting to work (in collaboration) on a new site which will incorporate this/a blog.

I shot The Pigeon Detectives last night, which went a lot better than I expected considering how much the lead singer runs and jumps around.

A couple of weeks ago I also shot Interpol, which I still can't quite believe. It was a bit awkward as despite the small pit the middle of it was sectioned off, I assume it had something to do with the microphones as it was being recorded for XFM. Luckily there weren't too many photographers but it was still pretty crammed. Not that i'm particularly bothered as i'm really pleased with my shots.

Here's hoping it's not too long before I get to shoot something else!

NME Awards Show

Wednesday night I shot the first of the o2 Shepherd's Bush Empire's NME awards shows. Los Campesinos! headlined with GROUPLOVE and Summer Camp supporting.

What's better than a Puppy?

I went home for Christmas and my uncle has got there lovely new dogs.

As always there are more on Facebook so make sure you check them out.
