Have spent the weekend packing for my move to my new flat (which is tomorrow) and celebrating a friends birthday, so I have been unable to post anything for a couple of days. As a dog and music lover, this performance melted my heart. Got to love London at times 😍 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #london #blackandwhite #monochrome #grayscale #blackandwhitephotography #urbanphotography #streetphotography #urban #street #urbanandstreet #love #busking #buskers #music #connection #photography #photographer #photographic #canon #canonphotographer #streetmusic #livemusic #streetperformer (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnzYqYZFKLR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8bg2xv4o3j56

Mon 23rd Jan 2015 Update

Hi Guys! Goodness me I have been extremely quiet on this account. I will try my hardest to use this account more often. As of the weekend gone, I had attempted to work on some photos to post online to keep up to date - But my hard drive decided to play dead on me so I currently can't access my work. I am trying my very hardest to get this fixed. Hopefully someone at the University I attend can fix it. I had no luck finding him today. But I will keep trying and I shall have it fixed as soon as possible. Therefore! I do have a shoot coming up. I will be photographing Glamour Of The Kill (Support: The Hype Theory, EofE and Ashes) at The Slade Rooms, Wolverhampton on Tuesday 3rd March. It will be my first gig of the year, and my first gig with my recently purchased, gorgeous lens so I'm looking forward to using new equipment ^_^ Looking forward to posting new work online. Happy Monday, everyone! Nikki

The Welcome Home Tour

I had previously heard of Heaven's Basement through background history, and briefly saw a video to single 'Fire, Fire' on Kerrang! In 2013 Heaven's Basement were gigging as support for Black Veil Brides and on the 20th December I had the opportunity to check these guys out at Rock City in Nottingham and gosh... I was absolutely blown away. Incredible live band, so much energy and I wish I had been in that pit photographing them. After that show I had been in contact with Heaven's Basement drummer Chris Nuttall and for their Welcome Home Tour for 2014 I was offered a pit pass for one of their shows. As I was in the Midlands that week so I managed to get a pass for their Birmingham show at O2 Academy2. This was new for me as I am a London based Photographer. After chatting with a couple of photographers in the pit (That's a surprise as no one in London talks to you!) they tell me lighting in Academy2 is absolute horse shite. Okay - I was shitting it now. So photographing the first band was not looking too good. For Glamour Of The Kill it improved slightly, and for Heaven's Basement - Thank goodness they brought their own lighting with them! Overall - I have had worse sets, but I am quite pleased with a few photos in this set and that's something I hardly say. Thank you Heaven's Basement for a fantastic night and Aaron - Get well soon! Hope to see you guys in the pit again soon.

MisterNothing Rehearsal

MisterNothing are a band with an 'exciting take on alternative music melding genres including alternative rock, pop, grunge and punk' - Quoted from their Bandcamp page. The guys of MisterNothing are good friends of mine, I'm willing to help them in every way I can as they absolutely deserve the support and opportunities for the future. Recently they lost their drummer Craig Shape for personal reasons. With an American Tour with their record label LMC Records in June fast approaching and gig dates to be booked throughout 2014, they had to search quickly for a drummer. Luckily for them it didn't take too long... Welcome to MisterNothing, James Harle! I was staying in the Midlands one week and the band had a rehearsal - With James having joined the band I thought they could do with some new shots. Neon Studios may be a nice place but shooting in their rehearsal room was sure hard work. I did all that I could and here are the final results!

Light Over The Beyond Tour 2014

German 'Happy Metal' band Freedom Call are to return to London for a show on their 'Light Over The Beyond' Tour. I have never attended The Barfly (Considering I have to many places for shows in London) so I wasn't sure what to expect. I walked into the building, looked at the stage and thought '...Oh shit' - I can honestly say I was looking forward to shooting here. Due to interviewing Freedom Call I managed to catch the last few tracks from metallers Neverworld. My overall experience at The Barfly was... Well... Unenjoyable. With the gig being cut short due to a club night and the lighting in this place was absolutely atrocious, I'm pretty sure I will not be coming back here again. Not to photograph that's for sure. Unfortunately for me, not a huge number of photos in the set. I hope someday I will have good luck photographing Freedom Call.
