This is the last gig I shot for Blues and Soul Magazine so far. From the first second, with his entrance from above the stage, NEYO gave the tone. I knew it was going to be a great performance.

He is such a showman:

Yesterday’s lineup was just fantastic. I’ll be honest, I knew nothing about Kristle or Rox, but they are 2 very different yet very talented performers.
Kristle was witty and cracked a few jokes along the way. She engaged with the audience who paid total attention to her performance. And she has a crazy range, and a [...]

I cannot believe what a great Show Teena Marie gave to her audience here in London after so many years!!! The crowd was wild, and sang pretty much all the songs with her.
Teena, you really are a queen! (see the gig review in the next issue of Blues and Soul Magazine)

When Vivian contacted me and Ilana to tell us about her new protege and the gig that she had organized at Bush Hall for him, we got very excited. We don’t see Vivian very often, but she has this amazing energy coming from her. It is always a pleasure to have her!
So we headed there, [...]

Like any creative, I constantly look for more ways to broaden my horizons and fine tune my skills on the job. It’s not that I am not satisfied with where I am since I’ve never been as busy before. It’s just that lately the Photography market has been dictating what I’d be shooting.
So I joined Beatnik Online, a wonderful adventure to me, a place where I am free to express my creativity and explore new ways of portraying people on the music scene. The team is young and motivated, passionate and very simply put: Extremely good at what they do!
And guess what: IT IS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED!!
So far, 2 features I have shot are online, Click on the links for the review:

I just wanted to write a quick post about yesterday’s encounter. Julien is a very talented guy who I met at an event I was covering. And as we’re both french, you can imagine we had a chat and talked about each other’s passion. And I have to say, I never expected this.
What HE does [...]

A last minute call and I am off to cover a dance class by Strictly Come Dancing stars Darren Bennett and Lilia Kopylova. This is how one of our client, the Glaziers Hall, decided to celebrate Christmas and treat their employees. How fun is that?
So I thought I’d throw a couple of pics from the session:

Here is a gig I was quite surprised by. Because, I’m not usually into anything too rock/blues… -ish! But I was pleasantly surprised by James’ performance. And the way the crowd reacted to it really well. All in all a pretty good concert.
If you want to know more about it and read the review that [...]
