I hope to offer classy and artistic images that express the artist's music. As an artist and musician (my son is also a musician in a rock band) I bring my two passions together in Music Photography. I have travelled and worked in America for ten years. I began to take my photography work seriously a couple of years ago in 2008 and have taken for several prestigious festivals - Celtic Connections and Edinburgh Fringe festival. I took images of 3 legends last year - Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Richard Thompson. Plus Martha Wainwright, Solange Knowles, Beth Neilsen Chapman, Danny Thompson. And for emerging artists. My aim is good use of light, composition and story-telling through instinctive feel for the time, mood and place.

Photography is a truly ‘eye-opening’ and blessed experience: whether the blue-greys of a new day, the long glow of dusk, shared laughter, intense depth in a singer, or majestic mountains. My aim is tocapture those rare moments of quiet reflection, an innersense if special connections. This being in touch is highly rewarding, makes you appreciatebeauty and soul wherever you might find it. 'you use the light exceptionally well,. full of life.’ 'You have a wonderfully observing & imaginative eye.' 'you're really very talented & have a great eye-it's a rare skill!'

My work includes shoots for artists for album covers, promotional images and live album shoots. For commissions, image licensing andother enquiries please contact. pkimage09@gmail.com
