Fashion & Beauty Photography Commission
I was recently commissioned by Abigails partner Edward to do a surprise fashion shoot. Apparently it has always been Abigails ambition to have a professional photography shoot. It was a birthday and christmas present all rolled into one. Which Iam sure Abigail wont forget in a hurry. Who says romance is dead? Hats off to Edward, who must have earned some serious brownie points for this one.

Concert Photography, capturing the emotion
I couldnt really post the Chasing Pandora concert photo without posting this one. It must be one of my all time favourite concert photos... and I have take quite a few. I wanted to do something different for this particular shot, there were about 5 other photographers present on the night, all shooting great action pictures of the performers Iam sure. So in order to get something different I decided to concentrate a few shots on crowd / performer interaction. I think this sums up the night perfectly. I also have another shot of one of the girls in the crowd touching Ray Mercieca's doc marten boots during his performance. Don't you just love these magic moments - split seconds in time - captured forever... no?.. well I do, and this type of image makes all the hard work worthwhile - who needs to shoot Madonna, when we can grab emotion like this one. Ps/. Madonna if you are reading this I would love to cover one of your gigs... yeah right.
Chasing Pandora live at the Bay Music Awards
One of a series of pictures taken at the recent Bay Music Awards, Eden Arena, Malta. I have chosen to post this image as its one of my favourite shots from the night. It was a rweal pain to get - I was actually standing on the barriers for this shot and almost fell off. I think it was well worth the effort though.
