The Phil Spalding Organisation Summer 2019

The Phil Spalding Organisation Summer 2019

A real pleasure shooting Phil Spalding, (most recently seen playing bass with The Who) and his new band including Jay Stapley, Herve Koster, Matt Baker and Belle Erskine in rehearsals for their forthcoming tour.

Less weddings and more music photography this year as well as the usual trips to Thailand, Ibiza and Formentera and also Tenerife at the end of the year. Great trip to Bangkok and then the Anantara Rasananda resort in Koh Phanghan early in the year 

2015 Retrospective

2015 Retrospective

So another year to reflect on, It’s funny where this photography thing takes you and the amazing opportunities it presents. My first job of the year was at the Swindon Arts Centre shooting Duran Duran guitarist Dom Brown and his band Blue to Brown. Quite a surreal change from my day job training Air Traffic Controllers to discussing the best producer for the new Duran Duran album!! Dom’s bass player is a mate of mine, Phil Spalding.  Phil has quite a CV, having played on some of the finest albums of the 80’s and 90’s.  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy4mXZN1Zzk,)  We got back together in the summer to shoot some publicity shots with another of his former bands, Right said Fred to help promote his Hep C charity work .(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KcTE2hFUZw)

I’ve been really lucky to cover some fantastic weddings and also travel a fair bit again this year. In May we revisited the Hotel Monnaber Nou in Campanet Mallorca where Julie and I got married 11 years ago. It’s one of my favourite places, a real chill out location in the Tramuntana mountains. The usual Ibiza madness in the summer followed by a flight over to Mallorca again to surprise my nieces. The rest of the summer was taken up with the Royal International Air tattoo and a few more weddings. In December we took a trip out to Dubai and Qatar to meet up with some friends who’s wedding I shot in 2014  and also to meet up with 2 couples who’s weddings I’ll be shooting this year.

The following is a collection of some of my favourite images taken over the past year – a blend of wedding, travel, music and personal work. Thank you everyone who follows my work. It means everything to me. Happy new year.

Dom Brown & Phil Spalding Blue to Brown

Dom Brown & Phil Spalding Blue to Brown

In January I was lucky enough to shoot Dom Brown’s band Blue to Brown at the Swindon Arts Centre. As a kid growing up just outside Birmingham in the 80’s Duran Duran were the local boys made good and I was a big fan. The
