Jamie T
Jamie T - Northumbria SU, Newcastle - Thursday 28th January 2010
This show was scheduled nearly four months earlier but due to Jamie being ill he had to move the hole of his tour. Since first catching Jamie T live in the summer last year (Click HERE to view photographs from that show) I have become a massive fan with the release of his second album 'Kings & Queens' being one of my most played albums of 2009. So I was super excited about attending this show and I was not disappointed.
Support act 'Chester P' who I missed most of due to arriving later then planned was pretty average with his freestyling political hip-hop. Really was not fused I missed the majority of his set. Norhtumbria's SU was full to bursting tonight for this show, it was set to be a great night - it could have been better if the price of a pint of Fosters was not £3.95 which is an absolute joke - but I guess I was there for the music and not the beer.
Jamie T came on stage at around 9PM, he played and absolute blinder of a set and was clearly well again and happy to be on the road and playing shows. Shootingwize it was a pretty straight forward show. The lighting was varied throughout the set but still very impressive. Probably the best I have seen yet at Northumbria's SU. I was able to shoot a lot of the show at 1/160 to 1/200 with ISO anywhere from 800-1600. So it was pretty nice bright lighting which made for an interesting set of images. Jamie spent the majority of the set changing between an electric or acoustic guitar or he would be running around the stage with the mic in his hand. He is a really great showman. When he had guitar in hand and if he was not singing he would be at the front of stage working the crowd.
I have uploaded about 20 or so images from the set below, I was shooting for Change The Record. The full set can be seen HERE and you can read my review HERE.

Taste of Chaos Tour 2009
O2 Academy, Newcastle - Monday 30th November 2009
ft. Everytime I Die, In Flames, Killswitch Engage
So its been nearly 2 months since I attend a show, the last one I was at was in fact the Taste of Chaos tour back on the 30th November 2009. So im starting to really freak out as I have the urge for live music. But I'm going have to wait as the next gig I'm at is not until Sunday - This is when I see/shoot Big D & the Kids Table - One of my favorite bands supporting Reel Big Fish. - Whihc I am really excited about. So in the mean time to get me away from all the time I have been spending on my business I decided to pull out a few images from the Taste of Chaos show - the last one I was at that never got uploaded fully!
A great line up on the tour but a real tough show to shoot. All due to the lighting being next to impossible with the energetic movement from band members on stage. Not fully my cup of tea but a great gig all the same. I have uploaded a collection of my favorite shots of the show below.
January has been such a quit month on the gig front - but there are a few good tours coming up that I shall be at including : Jamie T Tour, NME Tour ft. Maccabees, Kerrang Tour ft. All Time Low as well as Lostprophets tour and hopefully Mika. There are also a few other shows that are maybes but it all depends on work really. I just hope things pick up and I can get out to at least a show a week!
Well that's enough of my rambling for today - Hope to be posting a few more blogs up in the next month.

The 2009 Blog
So we are 10 days into 2010 and I’ve been meaning to write this blog for a week or so now but I’ve been to busy/lazy and snowed in to get round to actually finish writing it.
So a full year has passed and we are now in 2010 – The last year has flown by but it’s been a really good one. I have never taken as many photographs as I have in the last 12 months. I have got to so many amazing shows and had the chance to photograph and work with so many great people in the studio.
My year kick started pretty fast with my photography. Back in January, I got a call from Lisa (now my business partner) who runs a casting agency called NE8 Castings. She wanted me to shoot some of her actors and models for their online portfolios on her website. After the first shoot things had gone so well that we were already in talks with going into business together with our own photography studio (New Age Studios).
By March this year we had our own studio set up and running, the website took a little longer to get up and running and didn’t launch until September. The business has gone from strength to strength over the last year slowly building a name and a reputation as a photography company in Gateshead and Newcastle.
