Promotional Portraits for Stage Fright, Ellesmere Port, September 2013

In September, we worked with Jude Theatre and Stage Fright to produce images for their poster to be displayed in town.

It was an interesting learning experience and worked well in the finished poster

The Cat Community Radio, The Nantwich Show, August 2013

Crewe Play Day, Queens Park, Crewe - August 2013

Total Access Live, Betley Court Farm - August 2013

I was so glad we had the Status Quo concert to learn the rules, because this was the high speed version. With so many acts, we had only three minutes per act to take the pictures. There were a lot more photographers to work with and very little time to rest. It was a thrilling experience, with the added bonus of bumping into these popular groups and singers. It was also important to capture the crowds reaction. Truly amazing!
