All Roads Lead To All Points East

All Roads Lead To All Points East

The first festival of the year for me was All Points East. A last-minute decision to head down meant I didn't get to spend as much time at Victoria Park as I'd have wanted, but I packed the hours I did have with some great music. The weekend lineups were quite a bit...

The Darkness Out Of The Shadows

Last week I was lucky enough to photograph The Hollywood Vampires, featuring Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp. With such a star-studded cast, it's no surprise that they occupied the majority of the RockShot photography real estate. But (shhh... don't tell...

Maya Lane On The Hurt And The Healing: From Vulnerability to Growth

On a rain-soaked evening in London, rising singer-songwriter Maya Lane celebrated the release of her brand-new EP The Hurt And The Healing with an intimate show at The Grace. Just weeks earlier, we had met under sunnier skies at The Long Road Festival, beers and whiskies in hand, denim and sunshine everywhere.
