New News Is Good News - 13 April, 2009
Firstly apologies for it being such a long time since my last post, a mixture of work, travel, study and life have made it difficult to find the time to sit in front of the computer and string a few sentences together. But enough of that, here’s some recent news -
I have been accepted to be represented by musicpictures.com, the music-specialist part of the redferns image suppliers group, and my next task is to make my entire back catalogue available online here.
Recent photoshoots include work for Showcase:Live who’s Channel 4 pilot with Shipwreckeds’ Adam Child last weekend in Brighton sees them move firmly into the multimedia, multi-platform arena and I wish them well
Adam Childs presents Showcase:Live
Promo work for The Missing Fingers, Stash The Silver and a very good corporate Jazz Trio have all been exciting and challenging shoots, with the locations playing a large part in their success
The Missing Fingers Promo Shoot. Kind Thanks to Heist
Jazz Trio Promo Shoot
Stash The Silver Promo Shoot
Other work includes live shoots for Brighton Music Scene, Brighton Calling, and numerous local bands.
There is some bigger acts coming up with the launch of festival season. So far I’m aiming for The Great Escape festival, Firegathering, Beachdown, Brighton Festival and Fringe Festival, Secret Garden and Lounge on the Farm. There are more in the pipeline and I’ll announce others as they come up. One way or another it should be an exciting summer again. Hopefully I’ll see you there.

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)
Free Photoshoot - Competition - 29 October, 2008
I’m asking for people to message me with photo ideas to make use of 4 disposable white boiler / decorators suits that I have laying about. In exchange I am offering a free photo shoot to the most original and creative idea. The best idea so far comes from a band Needs Must who want to explore the “theme of [..] wearing the suits and investigating the death of british society or the death of british music…….”
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
Cheers
