Q. "Whats it like working with Celebrities?"
A. "When you meet people who you admire and respect, and they say hello, I
have to treat them as a mate, otherwise it would be difficult. They are normal
people, and I'm thankful there fans are just as co-operative, half of my iPhone
contains Music by people I've met and worked with, Its just great".
Q. "How did you get into Celebrity Photography?"
A. "It came about when I undertook a day's Photography Shoot, with Shaun
Rogerson, who came down to Kent with his Manager. But after joining Michael
Hinch as his Tour Photographer, thats when I got the bug really for Music
Photography, Since then, its been a rollercoaster, which has been absolutely
fantastic".
Q. "Is there anyone who you would like to Photograph?"
A. "There is loads, but I did turn down someone, who although wasn't famous at
the Time, and I didn't really know who it was, I do wonder - what if, because
now, that person if really famous with a massive fan base online and around
the world, in fact he would say My World.
If I could go back I would of Said Yes".
Q. "Does Photography Pay allot?"
A. "For some photographers, YES, but for a Photographer like me, NO, although
The equipment is so expensive, I have a day job as well, that helps, but Its
mainly expenses, like Travel, Accommodation and Food, that I do ask for,
and obviously I sell Images where I can".
Q. "What gives you as a Photographer Satisfaction?".
A. "If just one of my Images, makes a Fans day, and gives them a smile, or if
an Artist, Band or anyone uses them, that gives me great satisfaction, it
takes seconds to take an image someone will cherish for life".
Q. "Would you consider yourself a Fans Photographer then?".
A. "I photograph all kinds of things, but when it Comes to Tour Photography,
YES, I often think of what the fans want to see, but also what the Artist or
Band would want them to see, if that makes sense".
Q. "If a Fan wanted a Photo with their Idol at an Event, whats the best way to
get it?".
A. "Dependant on the Event, and the Restrictions, including fan numbers,
normally, I tend to work the crowd, chat to the fans, so I know roughly who would
want the photos, other than that just call me".
