RICHARD ASHCROFT: ALBERT HALL, MANCHESTER
Richard Ashcroft is a dream to photograph, such an iconic Northerner, born and bred in Wigan, just a few miles from me. There was an abundance of photographers, 13 on the list, so it was a bit crammed and as usual a very tall stage, which I have said before it is difficult unless your really tall. So I have learnt it is best to use 70-200mm to get a better reach. I’m reasonably happy with the shots, just a bit disappointed he didn’t wear a sparkly jacket or suit.
I did have a reviewer sorted who unfortunately let me down at the last minute. So I ended up doing a live photo review instead on Louder Than War, which you can see here: https://louderthanwar.com/richard-ashcroft-albert-hall-manchester-live-photo-review/
