Off Road - Continued - Mud Monsters - East Grinstead

While I do run the risk of major events know as 'Pay & Plays' being called off last minute it is far more interesting and should yeild a better series of work.
 
On Sunday I traveled to Mud Monsters, an Off Road Pay & Play site in East Grinstead, luckily the weather was bright and sunny which gave some good light. The enitre day was productive and filled with many very serious off road trucks. Which provided very interesting subjects to photograph, lots of action and recovery shots.
 


 


 
Some preliminary shots fom MM. Next events are 28th April & 5th May.

Band Photography - The End

After looking into the idea of band photography for my SIP I found that it would be difficult to create a series of work that would not look generic or samey. In light of this I have decided to continue with the Off Road photography.

Band Photography Expansion

After doing some preliminary work and research into the band photgraphy ideas I photographed a band know as Sepuku. Who I have worked with previously and gave me some exellent access into their band.

f 8 - 1/50 - ISO 6400

f 8 - 1/50 - ISO 6400
f 8 - 1/50 - ISO 6400
 
 
None of the work has been edited (other than switching to b/w) just shot with a very high ISO (3200 - 6400) in order to create a grainy gritty feel to the images, which matches the bands personality and music.
 
The photographs are interesting and so was working with the band. This would be the style in which I would photograph all metal/heavy rock bands as it reflects the style of music.
 
On Weds 10th I will be travelling to The Unicorn, Camden to photograph several other bands -
 
 
The Atrocity Exhibit - Nebukadnezza - Living with Disfigurement - Cavity Search
