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.

Cash

Last weekend I made my way to Islington to shoot the ridiculously good Cash - THE best Johnny Cash tribute band in the world!

You should definitely check them out if you're ever in the same town...I personally can't wait to see them (and shoot them) again!

KT & Slow Club

Despite hoping to get back into this whole photography lark big time I have, for whatever reason, just not managed it. I don't think there has been a time, since I first picked up a camera, where I have shot so little. (Technically that's not true as I can shoot hundreds of frames of some bands, but you know what I mean).

There used to be a time when I could go anywhere with my camera and come back with a nice selection of pictures which i'd look at, be pleased with, show my family and some friends and put them on flickr. But now, it's all changed. It's not that I couldn't take the pictures, i'm not lacking inspiration particularly. I just seem to be finding it easy to ignore. I never thought i'd say "that'd make a good picture" but have no intention of shooting it.

I don't want to sound, well, I don't know really but what i'm thinking is that with the more serious I have taken photography and the more i've tried to push it into becoming my career, the more i've become worried about what I post.

I can shoot a band at 9pm and have a good selection edited before bed but rather than post them straight away I seem to dwell on them and the thing that bothers me is that I don't really know why i'm doing it.

Anyway...

I took some pictures the other day, it'd be nice if some people looked at them. I only saw 3 songs of KT Tunstall but I was not offended by what I heard (that may not sound like a compliment but it really is, doubt it'll make it onto a poster for her album though). Slow Club were...I don't even know. Amazing? Possibly. I would definitely see them again, I would probably consider paying as well (yep, really) and you don't get much of a higher accolade than that, not from me anyway!

Anyway (Part ii)...

In the words of Bjork...

It's oh so quiet...

Well I have been at least, but I intend to change that (again!).

Right well first of all I got shortlisted (yay!) for the NME photo awards thing (linked) that I posted about a while ago, it was my Paloma Faith shot and it was doing rather well but has since dropped off a tad so i'd be ever so greatful if you could check it out.

Last week I shot Blood Red Shoes at Camden's Electric Ballroom for The Girls Are, it was my first time shooting for them but hopefully not the last!

You can see the shots on their website, on mine or on Facebook.

I'm hoping to update the whole website/blog thing and maybe make it into one easy to access hub of photographic enlightenment (or something) or if that's too hard I might just jazz it up a bit.

Also watch this space for shots from Lemonade Live and my shoot with 50ft Woman! They will, fingers crossed, be up very soon!

Until then why don't you tweet me up, buttercup? - www.twitter.com/adamrbrownphoto

Mr & Mrs Berry and a trip to Wales.

Bit of a 2 in 1 post here after a couple of weeks of nothing. I was back in Kent to shoot a wedding, my first this year, and i'm quite pleased with how it went.

As always there are quite a few more on my website and Facebook so feel free to check them out.

A couple of weeks later I went to visit some family in North Wales in an attempt to get away from the craziness of London. My trip included a day in Liverpool as i'd never been before so I thought it was only right to explore the historic city.

On Sunday I did a promo shoot for 50ft Woman and then in the evening was the photographer at Lemonade Live - Britain's Premier Music Showcase, the results of both will be up soon so keep an eye out and feel free to let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Adam

NME Photo Competition

NME have a photography competition going on at the moment. I've entered and would be delighted if you could vote for them, it only takes a couple of minutes. Just follow the links and choose the amount of stars relevant out of 10! I'd really quite like it if you gave them all a 10 even if you think one of them is only a 9, or less, basically what i'm saying is that whatever you think it's worth out of 10 round up, to the nearest 10! Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that once you've voted for the first you automatically go on to the second but they're all there just in case!
