All The Rage Gig @ Cargo

Wesley — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:44:27 +0000

Had the privilege of covering the All the Rage gig last night, which was raising awareness of autism with the charity Resources for Autism. The line up featured Statis Beatnik, DJ Rashida, Rich Hill & Boobonic and the very talented Janelle Monae. So many shots of the talented performers but here are my favourites:

Events at The Ivy, Annabel’s & Soho House

Photographing events is always fun and gives you access to places you wouldn’t normally be allowed. In this case The Ivy Club, Annabel’s in Berkeley Square and Soho House. Fantastic venues. First was a Champagne masterclass with a Moet Hennesey Champagne Expert at Annabel’s. Then a classy DJ night at Soho house. Then I was so excited to photograph a Sushi masterclass at The Ivy. Here are the tearsheets from the magazine:

The Cheerful Soul Restaurant Opening

I was there covering the PR photography for the opening party for the cheerful soul restaurant at the hare & hounds in Marlow on Saturday. Michelle & Russell where the winners of the BBC series ‘the restaurant’ and they are now up and running! Raymond Blanc is their mentor and he was there in fine form. Raymond has terrific energy and was a joy to work with and photograph. The food was fantastic and I’m going to enjoy going back there for a full meal as the canapés were heavenly. The restaurant has a lovely feel about it, with lovely decor which I enjoyed taking pictures of. All those little details…

Magdalen College Ball, Oxford

I covered this event with my friend Rob from theballphotographers and we had a great time. I enjoy covering these events as the students are lovely to deal with and even though taking the formal ball photographs can be a bit of a conveyor belt process, we still had a laugh and got some great shots. I also feel photographing the balls at Oxford is a privilege and allows an insight into a world that has great tradition and history. The buildings and architecture are amazing both inside and out giving you great backdrops to shoot with. We set up near the rear gates for the formal portraits and with a few studio lights we had a setup that saw us through the night. Here are a few favourites, a mixture of formal and reportage images:

Well no exactly my most recent work but finally got round to putting up the tearsheet of the job I shot for them for their christmas lunch. A lovely family event with some great shots of everyone enjoying themselves.
