Brighton on Brighton photography gallery at Juice 107.2

In the space of less than a week, a music photography gallery featuring 6 local photographers has been brought together at the offices of Juice 107.2 by Greg Neate. Bringing together Brighton’s most enthusiastic contributors of music photographs to the photo sharing website, Flickr, the gallery aims to show Brighton music as seen by Brighton photographers.

Mike Burnell may look like a bouncer in the pit but instead you’ll find him facing the stage with his camera. He has a close association with the Maccabees and regularly contributes to the Argus, as well Artrocker magazine. Andy Parker, aka the Avangelist, has a passion for capturing the heavier things in life, usually as seen at the Freebutt, and brings the same DIY punk ethic to his photography. Nikki Acott previously performed in Made of Wool and her access to the Brighton noise network is seen in her photographs from Colour Out of Space, the UK’s premier noise festival. Veronika Moore has photographs from The Silent Disco and the Great Escape on display. David Stock does regular promo and live work for unsigned bands and is currently looking for a band willing to make a creative use of four white boiler suits in exchange for a free photoshoot.

The gallery is open for one day only on Saturday November 8th from 10 am to 6 pm at Juice 107.2 on 170 North Street. (next to Northern Rock)

I’m sure there are plenty of good ideas out there so if you or anyone you know might be interested in working with me to make use of these suits then I urge you to get in touch….

THE DEAL

I am offering a free photoshoot to anyone who thinks they could make a visual impact utilising these suits. Whilst I have my own ideas, I am open to suggestions so get creative and let me know why you should be photographed in these. Copies of these images will be given to you to make promotional use of you band, artistic endeavor, event etc….

The conditions -

The photoshoot must take place in and around brighton, OR my expenses must be covered

I’m not interested in seedy or pornographic shots, just creative images, glamour is fine but no nudity for the sake of it

Whilst I am mainly a music photographer I will welcome suggestions from anyone

There will be only one winner which will be selected upon the merit of their vision

The more creative the better

No Time-wasters!

If you think this might interest you or someone you know then please get in touch with me at davestock@windowtreeandlight.co.uk or visit the website www.windowtreeandlight.co.uk

After Secret Garden Festival not much could top my festival experiences but some came close…

The inagural Beachdown Festival based on the beautiful Devils Dyke surpassed all expections and became one of the real highlights of the year, and so close to home. The weather held out (in a very British sort of way i.e. it didn’t but it could have been worse!) and gave us impressive perfomances from great acts such as Golgol Bordello, Horace Andy, Carnival Collective, Fun Loving Criminals, De La Soul, Jah Wobble, etc etc… Check out the pics here if you haven’t already

Smaller festivals have included Loop

At Home By The Sea

and Brighton Live

Photos from all of these events are on the website gallery pages and the facebook group page. Many have also been published.

Filling in the gaps between the festivals were numerous promo shoots, including new work for UpCDownC’s new release ‘Embers’

Promo shoots and single artwork for Captains of the Citadel, promo work for Black Thatcher (http://www.blackthatcher.com/home.html), The Shofar Quartet and The Shofar Allstars and PR work for music promoters including for the following nights -
