Rock and pop concert photography

Here you can see a selection of my rock and pop photographs, mostly taken in the mid to late 90s. Please contact me to discuss licensing these photos. For many of these bands, additional unpublished photos are available. Pick a band...

About these photos

Most of these photos were taken using a manual focus Canon T70 camera. It was one of the last metal bodied cameras, which made it robust enough to take into the front row of a gig with confidence. Most of the time I used flash and 400 speed black and white Ilford film. Some shots (including T'Pau and Babybird) are taken on faster film using available light. None of these photos have been digitally manipulated, except cropping and to clean up some marks on the scans.

University of Death: A hilarious satire of the music industry

My novel 'University of Death' satirises the music industry and predicts its potential meltdown. The book is named after the band at the centre of the action and takes a slice through the music industry: from the boardroom to the stage; from the studio to the record fair. It explores how fans relate to their favourite bands, how businesses use technology to manipulate consumers, and what would happen if the music industry disappeared overnight.

Although the novel includes fictionalised cameos from some well-known pop stars, the story focuses on those who are at the bottom of the industry and trying to claw their way up.
