Been working on lighting set ups for a short film I'm working on.
Top image in the inspiration, bottom two are the results. Close enough for a first attempt.

CODESPEAKER - ARCTANGENT 2025

Quality UK Post-Metal.
Second time I've caught them and each time I was left floored. Great band.
Only grabbed a few shots but still had enough for a quick mini-film.

OMO - Arctangent 2025

Sonically in line with Burning Witch or early Cathedral, with a buckfast gulping clergy-man rubbing his nuts while spouting hellish sermons for the end of the world.
Brilliantly heavy and brilliantly Scottish.

PART CHIMP - LIVE at NO90 Hackney for Baba Yaga's Hut 19th Anniversary Celebration 🥳

Very pleased to have captured this. I love Part Chimp and it's great to finally record them with good sound - no mean feat considering they're one of the loudest bands around.

Many thanks to anyone who liked, shared, or was lucky enough to even SEE the mini-live-vid of Whores the other day. If you missed it, you can still see it on YT and IG.

IG is absolutely repressing my video views at the moment. A very large number from the band i tagged but when it comes to my own followers (over 800 of them) it only showed it to around 20 people. Seriously WTF is the app even for anymore if your own followers arent given the opportunity to see you.

NEW WORK
WHORES - New Cross Inn, London 2025

A different approach taken here, edited everything out of sync like a music video. I like it.

For real, if anybody wants to start a band like CORRUPTED, give me a shout because i am so down for that.

UPGRADE.
The eternal mission to see in the dark takes a big leap forward with my new 35mm - 150mm f/2-2.8 lens.
I've always favoured insane close-ups to safe wides, and this just about covers everything i need to achieve that, now with twice the aperture to boot
